Danielle Corsetto is the brains/boobs behind "Girls With Slingshots" - www.girlswithslingshots.com - a slice-of-life comedy webcomic about two girls, a bar, and a talking cactus. Danielle now does GWS five times a week and strives to keep the comic subscription- and micropayment-free, paying for the domain & workload with donations and merchandise sales. She's been a self-employed freelance cartoonist and illustrator since March 2005, and doesn't plan on wearing a nametag/khakis/uniform ever again. She also wrote & drew "The New Adventures of Bat Boy" for the Weekly World News after Peter Bagge, until the mag went tits-up. Besides drawing comics (which she's been doing since she was eight), Danielle likes to travel, camp out, hike, drink tea, sip girly drinks at the local bar, sew and photograph. She has two cats, a fish and a Girl Scout troop.

GAREB SHAMUS, WIZARD ENTERTAINMENT CEO, BUYS TORONTO COMICON
Shamus expands brand internationally by buying critically acclaimed international convention!
Posted 6/24/2009
New York, NY (June 24, 2009) - Gareb Shamus, CEO of New York based Wizard Entertainment, announces today that he has purchased the Toronto Comicon, a show that has been consistently awarded The Best International Comic Book Convention (non-USA) by ComicBookConventions.com, for the last five years.

Peter Dixon, owner of Paradise Conventions and former owner of the Toronto Comicon, will still be intimately involved in the show production, his friendly manner ensuring the continuation of the trademarked relaxed atmosphere of the show.
"Wizard brings greater industry recognition and star power to the show. I'm excited about having the fans get this bigger experience," said Dixon.
The next show dates have not been set yet, but the newly managed Toronto Comicon is expected to debut in 2010.
