Cape In The City
A few weeks ago I went to New York City for the NYCC. Like most comedians/writers, I see the humor in everything and while traveling to the city and in it, I witnessed probably an entire semester of material. But, I refined my top picks to four ideas.

One of the titles I talked about months ago when covering Archaia Studios Press for the Buzz was Mouse Guard. This is a fun title about mice who live in a medieval time period. I was able to speak with the series’ creator, writer and illustrator David Petersen and ask him a few questions.
Matt Knicl: How did you come to Archaia?
My name is Matt Knicl. I'm a U of I alumn and one of those unemployed English majors Garrison Keillor likes to make fun of. I've been reading comics since high school and one day I would like to write them. My goal is to expose readers to what is out there in the world of comics and using my English powers, show what is worth reading or not. I can be reached at buzz.comics@gmail.com.
