This past Wednesday, we at rgbFilter went to the Toronto launch party for the new comic The Apocalipstix by writer Ray Fawkes and artist Cameron Stewart. Ray and Cameron were kind enough to give Alex some time to talk to them about the comic, and other projects they have coming up.

It was a great night, presented by Chris from The Beguiling. After an intro and book signing session, the party continued with a couple of great bands, Dame and Terror Lake. There will definitely be more coverage of the night in the next regular episode of rgb Filter.
