Plus, the creator of Only Human graphic novel faces the intellectual horror of The Geek Seat and Marc Ballard promotes the upcoming Nashville Comic and Horror Festival.

This week's Shout Out goes to the Boston community. Despite the turbulence and drama, I felt honored to be back in my home state this past weekend. A little sad the Boston Comic Con was postponed, but understandable under the circumstances. I think the time was actually better spent with my family and friends. There are many victims who need assistance. To find out how you can help, visit The One Fund Boston.
