Signing & Talk: Ales Kot at Mission Comics July 22

01-ales-kot.nocrop.w529.h861.2xMuch like the character on the cover of his new series, Wolf, Ales Kot is on fire. In recent months the creator of the critically acclaimed Zero has been taking the topics he deftly tackles in his writing straight to his twitter feed and acting as a blunt catalyst for some rather lively discussions. As highlighted in a recent article on Vulture, Kos has taken to using his rising star to shine a bright light on both the prevalence of white cis-gendered males in comics and the tendency for comics to buy into the military industrial complex.

This evening, you can discuss these issues and more when Kot visits Mission: Comics and Art at 3520 20th Street in San Francisco. The comic shop and art gallery will be hosting a signing and talk starting at 5 p.m. The first two hours will mostly be a meet and greet followed by the talk starting at 7 p.m.

Before Oakland, there was Madison, Wisconsin. In Madison, the hours that weren’t filled up by my day job were typically devoured by event planning and running the city’s popular arts and politics news site, Dane101. Some of the events I organized include an annual two-night cabaret/carnival/masquerade party called the Fire Ball Masquerade, Madison's biggest non-city sponsored Halloween party, the geek culture focused MadPubQuiz of Awesomeness, and the first Whedonesque Burlesque in the country. Having successfully reshaped the reality of Madison, Wisconsin I packed up and moved to the Bay Area in February of 2013. In addition to comics, I enjoy imbibing cocktails and beer, exploring foreign cities, consuming food of various temperatures, hearing music performed live, losing at board and card games, and getting caught in the rain.
