I did not see the point of this story except to show how insufferable Annie is.

It's really interesting to see Verity through Antimony's eyes, especially in a setting like Comic-Con. I would have loved for the story to go a little longer so I could see how things resolved, but it was still a solid bit of storytelling.

Singing The Comic-Con Blues is included at the end of Calculated Risks, the most recent InCryptid novel by Seanan McGuire. As you might guess from the title, this is a fun and light story, especially in comparison to everything that Sarah just went through.
This short features (as you can probably guess) Annie, Sarah, and Artie, and is set nine years before the events that take place in another dimension. It makes an excellent contrast, and really gets us back into the fun and quirky parts of the Price life. It also makes me want to go and read the rest of the short stories, in hopes of getting more moments like these.

This story was included as a bonus novella at the end of Calculated Risks, and tells a story that's referred to in passing in the novel but not important to the novel. I enjoyed spending time with the characters in this story. I felt, however, that the story didn't live up to its initial promise. Based on the title of the story and the opening paragraphs, I went into the story thinking it would mostly be about addressing a cryptid problem at a comic-con. Instead, it was mostly about navigating family issues in order to get to the con in the first place, which meant my enjoyment was tempered by the fact that I kept waiting for the "real" story to start.

This was a little about Comic-Con and a lot about Antimony's relationship with Verity. It was nice to see them together for more than a brief scene, even if most of it was tense with Antimony reacting to the idea of Verity as much as the actual person.
