Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the Skyliner project looks like it's going to be up against it in terms of making its funding goal. I hope you'll consider it.

image* Jay Hosler writes about the specific joys of his work.

* Mark Voger talks to Stan Lee. Paul Gravett profilies Maciej Sieczyk and Keiichi Tanaami. Chris Butcher talks to Jocelyne Allen.

* this isn't a kind of fan interest I find personally compelling, but the idea that by extending a popular brand you also dilute it is something I imagine people that manage entertainment product must consider.

* congratulations to Matt Lubchansky, who got the editorial assistant job at Medium for which Matt Bors put out a call. I know at least two other people that said they applied, so I'm going to assume Mr. Lubchansky was an excellent candidate who has a significant chance of doing a really good job.

* not comics: Kelly Sue DeConnick and Laurenn McCubbin share with you information on how to be productive. I'm hesitant to link to that because I can't imagine reading articles at this blog fit into any conceivably productivity strategy.

* Shawn Starr on a Hellen Jo work with which I'm not familiar. Everything Hellen Jo does is worth tracking down. AaronFG on Blast Furnace Funnies.

* Chris Sims writes about Batman's love affairs. I only remembered the ones from the 1970s. It's hard with superhero characters to partner them up more than once or twice because they don't really ever have sexual motivations.

* Domingos Isabelinho writes about Chester Brown as a gothic artist.

* finally, Alan David Doane re-presentes his 2004 interview with the writer Alan Moore.
