* there are a bunch of SPX debuts listed here. One such book is the next So Buttons, which sports a Tom Scioli cover seen above that parodies the "crying, blind, helpless" Captain America cover we pulled and talked about last week. Anyway, that's an astounding list, and you could have an entire show merely based on the D+Q and Fantagraphics books showing up that weekend.

image* I was just talking about these comics in "Random News" to discover about a half-hour later that Richard Thompson has alerted us to a place to buy his I guess out-of-print collection of Richard's Poor Almanack.

* Paul Gravett's profile of Glyn Dillon drives attention to the fact that there's a Glyn Dillon graphic novel imminent -- The Nao Of Brown. For a lot of folks out there, that's all the publishing news they'll need for the month.

* here's a launch page for a new, alternative-comics focused podcast. It has one of those name it's hard to believe no one squatted on.

* I assume that even though this post from Classic Comics Press talks about books due in December 2012 and 2012, what they really mean is December 2012 and 2013.

* this is the comic a bunch of us are waiting on right now.

* you knew that Sin Titulo is still updating, right?

* couple of great links on the top of the Reprodukt blog right now. It's hard to argue with a free PDF copy of a new, appealing-looking 'zine. It might be harder to argue with the named-on-the-cover line-up from the new Strapazin.

* Comics Bronze Age has announced its return after nearly two years on hiatus.

* finally, this Genevieve Castree cover is imminent so it's hard to argue a publishing-news hook to it, but just look at the darn thing. That's very striking.
