Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital
By Tom Spurgeon
* the return of Thien Pham's I Like Food. I don't know if that's in print locally; I'm just happy to read it.
* Lauren Davis on Beauty And The Beast and Never Satisfied.
* Erna Mahyuni profiles a selection of webcomics from Malaysia. I'm surprised there isn't a John Lent of webcomics out there tracking this stuff down. Someone get to work on that.

This Isn't A Library: New, Notable Releases Into Comics' Direct Market
*****
Here are the books that make an impression on me staring at this week's no-doubt largely accurate list of books shipping from Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. to comic book and hobby shops across North America.
I might not buy all of the works listed here. I might not buy any. You never know. I'd sure look at the following, though.
*****
*****
The full list of this week's releases, including some titles with multiple cover variations and a long, impressive list of toys and other stuff that isn't comics, can be found here. Despite this official list there's no guarantee a comic will show up in the stores as promised, or in all of the stores as opposed to just a few. Also, stores choose what they carry and don't carry so your shop may not carry a specific publication. There are a lot of comics out there.
To find your local comic book store, check this list; and for one I can personally recommend because I've shopped there, albeit a while back, try this.
The above titles are listed with their Diamond order code in the first field, which may assist you in finding comics at your shop or having them order something for you they don't have in-stock. Ordering through a direct market shop can be a frustrating experience, so if you have a direct line to something -- you know another shop has it, you know a bookstore has it -- I'd urge you to consider all of your options.
If I failed to list your comic, that's because I hate you.

Random Comics News Story Round-Up
 * AJ Frost on Captain America: Steve Rogers #4. Sean Kleefeld on Your Favorite Superhero Sucks.
* here's Paul Gravett on the worldwide manga movement.
* a case for Head Lopper. I liked that comic, and I'm not usually fan of comics that have those kinds of narrative limitations.
* Erin O'Brien talks to Derf Backderf. Angela Boyle profiles KL Ricks.
* look at this Rick Griffin. Whoa.
* the descriptions of these " clues" about where the Watchmen characters created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons fit into present DC Universe licensed property land are just agonizing for me to read. It's just so not anything I enjoy about creativity or art.
* the reason we've all had such a weird 2016 is because Superman is having the weirdest one.
* finally, Anthony Acri wrote in twice suggesting this article might be of service to CR readers. I will have to come back to it, but don't let me stop you.
