Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked
By Tom Spurgeon
*****
* Top Shelf launched two digital apps yesterday.
The best and most succinct round-up is here. There's a lot of that work that I'd enjoy reading in digital iterations. I think we're on the other side of whatever tipping point there needed to be to get everyone involved in some sort of digital comics strategy, with only a few key players left to do something at least semi-major.
* Sean T. Collins
caught word that the fourth issue of the alt-comics anthology
pood will be its last.
* now this is interesting:
DC is going to start doing digital-first comics. The announced titles still have a monthly print iteration, but with as much anecdotal evidence and conventional wisdom of the crossed-arm-and-pipe variety out there that suggests that the on-line comic book replaces the serial print comic book, a lot of folks are going to be watching this one closely.
* the next season for Abrams
gets profiled at the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com. I'm looking forward to what looks like an all-systems-go
Carter Family Comics. You know, this is a really good week for publishing news when Abrams announcing a whole season finds itself this far down the page.
*
CCS is apparently reprinting How To Draw.
*
Domino Books previews Face Man.
* Chris Oliveros makes one of his infrequent appearances on the D+Q blog
to talk up their last release of 2011, a new volume from their sterling
Walt & Skeezix series.
* Boom!
announces its creative team for the new
Peanuts work they're doing. I don't have any opinion on this at all. I mean, I should, but I just don't.
*
Sequential is very excited about
the Spring 2012 release of Guy Delisle's Jerusalem.
* Alan Gardner caught that
Pibgorn is going to published at GoComics.com with commentary from creator Brooke McEldowney.
* finally, Floating World Comics
is releasing a limited edition of a book by Kilian Eng, Object 5. It will make its public debut at the forthcoming Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival.
