Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Sean Gaffney on The Irregular At Magic High School: Enrollment Arc Vol. 1.

* I laughed when I saw this Dan Nadel commentary for Paul Up North in his "substitute Jog" role this week: "Paul Up North: Conundrum Press has continued Michel Rabagliati’s Paul series, once a kind of Quebecois curiosity from D&Q, but always pretty dull. I would read the books (back when I read nearly every comic that came my way) and think, 'This is what French comics are like,' and I was half right. 184 pages, $20.00 -- DN." Oh, Dan.

* Bryan Pierce on why straight men should care about gay superheroes. I care enough about gay superheroes I'm linking to a piece at Huffington Post.

* bundled extra: a nine-page preview of the new Bone story coming out this summer.

* the writer James Moore wrote in to mention that May 4 is the Kent State shooting anniversary, and Katherine Wirick's comic might be an appropriate thing for folks to check out.

* finally, Bruce Chrislip wrote in to drive attention to this absolutely rare, Rick Griffin-covered, Craig Yoe-published fanzine from the early 1970s. The comics collectible market will always be weird for its element of things not rare at all being treated that way, but the honestly rare material tends to fetch a good price.
