Go, Read: Abraham Riesman On Jim Starlin's Cyclical Relationship With Marvel Comics
Here. It is worth being reminded that many creators' complaints about the big companies aren't moral/ethical battles but concern issues of treatment and recompense.
I would assume that Starlin's deal with Marvel has something to do with show Thanos pre-existed the work in that issue of Iron Man, but I'm no lawyer.

By Request Extra: Direct Aid To Bill & Nadine Messner-Loebs
Here. The previous fundraiser was by a group in Michigan looking after the couple and other people in a similar state. I hope the writer and cartoonist gets the buffer the couple needs and that there will be some assistance to them in managing their affairs.

Random Comics News Story Round-Up
 * Gary Zidek talks to Jessica Campbell.
* not comics: Laura Hudson on Ready Player One and how its fantasy of the Internet as a safe, free place really works. I'm glad I'm old and missed any mention of the book and barely heard of the movie. I was a kid in the 1980s in the whitest, most cornfed suburban high school and even our relationships to pop culture were way more complicated and interesting than using its broadest elements as badges of imagined glory.
* I am pro new Nancy, although I get that it breaks sharply with any traditional values of Nancy and works differently, and I find legacy strips kind of gross as a general rule. I wish all the strips still produced like that were as odd yet immediately graspable. Also: I suspect that no one knowing the creator means that they are young, or are coming at this sideways from another career/pursuit, or both. Give them time.
* finally: how things are.

The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Shows And Events
By Tom Spurgeon
* here's some more advance press for the ACE Universe show headed to ECCC-serviced Seattle. I think that's a pretty easy feature to seel a newspaper. One thing that discourages me about this becoming a competing model is that name is so terrible. It's like a hardware show name.
* just noticed that Wizard moved its Columbus show back to June from post-San Diego Con. I wonder if that means the show has done well enough that it's no longer on the rumored chopping block. Two years ago in particular that looked like a show they were running out there to return lousy attendance figures.
* there's been a lot of regional and local press coverage of smaller shows recently, but it's all celebrity guests and drooling-over-cosplay pieces so I'll pass.
* finally: TCAF TCAF TCAF. That's all my friends are talking about, anyway.
