Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* over at Robot 6 Kevin Melrose has more on the lawsuit against the now-canceled show Heroes and its last-season carnival storyline. I think it would be fitting if there were something to this and some money exchanged hands as the entire show felt like a third-generation Xerox of someone else's work, someone who wasn't profiting.

* this Faith Erin Hicks Wolverine try-out comic is awfully, awfully cute. How is its existence not an overall positive? I think Marvel should open up the X-Men and encourage people to make stories like this and maybe even publish them concurrently while allowing the fans to do so with impunity; DC should do the same with the Legion of Super-Heroes. That would really open up a couple of moribund franchises with a lot of juice left to them, just not necessarily the kind of juice that gets squeezed into glasses solely at editorial meetings.

* this Cliff Chiang drawing of The Archies is adorable as well.

* not exactly comics: the writer Kevin Church has spent a week with an iPad, and he has enjoyed the experience.

* happy 10th anniversary, Narbonic!

* not comics: I'm trying to figure out the specific appeal of a film version of Tamara Drewe. Watching this film clip I think I have a pretty good idea, and then I have a really good idea at about the 41-second mark, and then it escapes me. I better watch it again a couple of times.

* finally, Sean T. Collins presents the comics-related arguments that one never wants to hear again.
