Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* that's super-nice. Congratulations to the happy couple, one of comics' most-liked.

* John Seven on some different comics, including Darryl Cunningham's. Sean T. Collins on Abyss. Don MacPherson on A User's Guide To Neglectful Parenting, various comics and the "Whatever Happened To...?" feature. Greg McElhatton on Monster On The Hill, Usagi Yojimbo Vol. 27 and Big Plans. Henry Chamberlain on Sandcastle. Seth T. Hahne on Genius. J. Caleb Mozzocco on the DC summer annuals. I don't really all the way understand why there are DC summer annuals when it's not like the regular series are crushing it on the charts right now, except in relative terms. I suppose there are any number of creative uses to which a stand-alone issue for a series can be used, though. Augie De Blieck Jr. on Wolverine. That was quite the event for a lot of us kids that loved the Chris Claremont/John Byrne X-men. It also might have been the last time we got psyched for an X-Men related event.

* Jakob Free profiles Matt Seneca. John Hogan talks to Karen Green. Tim O'Shea talks to Tim Gibson.

* a massive comics collection profiled. I have to admit, I dream of throwing all of mine away.

* people always love unsold pitches. "Sprout" seems to me a terrible name for a superhero.

* somewhere at the Hicksville lighthouse in heaven, Paul Pope's Kamandi sits on a shelf next to Al Columbia's Cave Carson. Although in both cases, I'm happier to have read the projects that filled that professional creation time.

* Brigid Alverson reports from the Boston con held last weekend. I'd totally forgotten the original was canceled because of the bombing at the end of the Boston Marathon. That's a terrible thing to happen to your event, although not as terrible as actual bombing at your event. Still, I'm glad it went well, or at least that it sounds like it went well.

* finally, Justin Giamapoli talks backmatter.
