Random Comics News Story Round-Up
*
it's a comic and a beer. How Tony Millioniare didn't do this first, nobody knows.
* I'm saving up
this discussion between critics Jog and Matt Seneca about movie adaptations focused on Steranko's version of
Outland and Kirby's take on
2001 for a long coffee break. I can't imagine it not being at least pretty good.
* after I finish that, it's onto
this list of 50 essential manga for libraries.
* not comics:
you'll get no argument from me.
* Fantagraphics
reports there may be slight shipping delays to their moving their warehouse/shipping center.
*
Tim Kreider on Cathy. Tim Kreider's writing about comics is always very welcome.
* not comics:
another look at how box office flops are made, a subject that applies to a lot of comics-related films this year.
* not comics: I'm not sure what's sadder, the fact that I spent a bunch of time reading
an interview with the wrestler Kane about libertarianism when I had other things I should have been doing, or that I initially thought he made up the phrase "
Austrian economics." Okay, you're right, it's definitely the latter. Bodyslammed by Kane!
*
Cliff Chiang talks about other artists.
*
Charles Hatfield remembers the great and difficult Paul Conrad.
* fun comics scan find at
Robot 6 concerning Steve Ditko.
* finally, Mark Millar
is auctioning off another character's name for charity, this time the lead in what sounds like some slight spin on Superman that will immediately be sold to a movie producer. It's hard to be too snarky about it when PR and charity meet and make a little press-ready baby, though.
