I started Verse Chapter Verse because I wanted to bring a party atmosphere to literary events, and this could be the partyest one yet. Cartoonist Bryan Lee O’Malley will present Seconds, his long-awaited follow-up to the beloved Scott Pilgrim series, in a rare Seattle appearance. And! He’ll be sharing the stage with Seattle’s Favorite Band with a Stranger Music Editor in It™, Tacocat. O’Malley and Tacocat both investigate the world with a fun, poppy, intelligent spirit, meaning we might get to watch a love connection blossom between the author and the musicians onstage.
