Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Todd Klein on
Green Lantern #43.
* go, read:
Boulet on Georges Brassens.

I liked Graeme McMillan's choices for five Kirby works to read. He's also right in that there are other really good runs -- you could pick
Boys Ranch, two or three other
Thor runs, I think, and maybe an early
Fantastic Four one and definitely the
2001 and also get some idea as to what has made Kirby a continuing solid read forty to fifty years after these comics were made. The
Our Fighting Forces material is probably as little-read a run as Kirby has anymore. Michael Grabowski in my twitter feed made the case for the "return to Captain America" run -- the Mad Bomb stuff, plus some trippy issues afterward -- that so enraged my Cap-As-Super-Spy fellow readers when I was a kid. There's a Kirby for everyone.

this 1969 Kim Deitch illustration is certainly something.
* you should listen to
Alison Bechdel's interview with NPR because all of Bechdel's interviews are good, but also because as Teresa Jusino at
The Mary Sue has pointed out,
she's made a request.

Neil Gaiman talks about free speech, including graphic novels. I'm not sure he makes the
exact distinction about harassment that the subordinate headline says he does (although of course he's strongly against harassment and states why). Mostly he's forthright and knowledgeable and articulate on the subject. I was fascinated by the way he talks about the Mike Diana trial, and how truly freaking horrible that Diana's conviction was in a way that seems to become more clear over time.
* finally, JM Clark talks to
Crystal O'Rourke.
