Missed It: Bleeding Cool Survey-Style Article On Rhetorical Fallout Post-Charlottesville
Here. There's a lot to consume there, and even more to be considered in general, but I'm not deeply enmeshed in the world of back-and-forth commentary anymore to follow all of it or even a cogent sampling. Your opinion about some comics professionals in good or even privileged standing is subject to change any time you go and look at such matters, and should be. These are public statements and thus may have public consequences.
I've always believed if people make thoughtful, moral decisions about what they do/consume/support on a consistent basis that we'll be better off in the long run than we are when they don't. I still think that's more true than false. I'm certain I'll have thundering disagreements with individual positions along the way -- I struggle with any concept of running around and protesting a voted-upon effort while armed and acting as if you get $1000 cash for every inciting incident you perform as a free speech event, for instance -- but I welcome the serious attention to these matters of fundamental American meaning that too frequently assert that a stalemate is a settled matter. We should continue.

Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Philippe Leblanc profiles books from
Peow Studios and Pow Pow Press.
* bundled extra: I guess from reading
this that there are some new creative teams on some of the titles coming out in this soft not-a-relaunch. That sees smart, given all the continuity elsewhere. I like the sci-fi paperback quality of that She-Hulk image.
* struck the next day how pretty the art is
in this Cathy Malkasian tweet.
*
what Dan Clowes remembers loving about late 1970s New York. I was just trying to explain to someone what 1975-1984 felt like in terms of absent civilization, and failing. This comes close.
* not comics:
Michael Tisserand's Johnny Cash story is pretty great.
* finally,
here is today's big-media company with easy comics comparisons piece. I remember that all sorts of fundamental changes to the system were proposed as Marvel geared up to distribute through Heroes World, and what we got was far from that and
still a failure.
