Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* Darryl Ayo noticed (I sure didn't) that the writer-about-comics Cheryl Lynn has decided to do other things.

* that superior link-blogger Kevin Melrose notes that The Dark Knight Returns got a bump from a Superman/Batman movie announcement, and that bump came in the form of digital sales. That books see a significant increase in sales from related-media advertising seems like a logical outcome, but it still worries me a bit in terms of what gets audiences buying something. It's like only finding out about restaurants that advertise on the scoreboard at the high school football game.

* the Biebercomic continues.

* Deb Aoki has a wrap-up of this summer's digital manga news.

* Gary Tyrrell writes about receiving a copy of To Be Or Not To Be from the point of view of a patron that is familiar with a lot of the webcomics-makers that were involved in its production.

* Brigid Alverson talks to Jorge Cham on the occasion of his PhD Comics beginning to appear at Tapastic.

* finally, the new Al Columbia site is re-launched here. I think that's the proper re-launch.
