Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Mike Sterling makes his monthly list of things that are more important to the Direct Market than James Turner comics.
* Tim Hodler offers up a few initial notes on The Art Of Jaime Hernandez: The Secrets Of Life And Death. A pretty rigid but enlightening fight breaks out in the comments thread on the idea of cropping art for an "Art Of" book, and whether or not this can at times represent an art director's intrusion into the work itself.
