“We envision it as Lord of The Rings, but set in a world of candy”

what is this I don't even

We don’t see it as a movie based on a board game, although it has characters from that world and takes the idea of people finding themselves in a world that happens to be made entirely of candy where there are huge battles going on. We are going for real comedy, real action, and real emotions at stake.

— Jonathan Aibel, one of the creators behind a big screen adaptation of Hasbro’s Candy Land.

Wait. Wait, I think I’ve seen this.

Susana Polo - Editor at Large

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
