Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Don MacPherson on Afterlife With Archie #1. Johanna Draper Carlson on Survive!: Inside The Human Body Vols. 1-3.

* Rob Salkowitz analyzes the Fantagraphics crowd-funder.

* Robert Boyd mentions that same crowd-funder in the midst of a lengthy review of some newish books from the Seattle-based publisher. Boyd doesn't do a whole lot of comics reviewing these days, but when he does it's a treat to once again read his voice in that mode. I really like the local focus of his arts blog, too.

* Joe Gordon talks to Martin Steenton. I can't quite figure out both of their last names, but this is two guys interviewing Craig Yoe.

* the retailer and foundational comics blogger Mike Sterling reports the fascinating-to-me tidbit that people are being inspired by those shows about folks buying storage units unseen to do this themselves and then bring the comics they find into Sterling. Spoiler alert: they're almost always ruthlessly terrible collections.

* someone out there will name this their comic of the year.

* finally, Gerry Giovinco continues to express his displeasure with that superhero-centric PBS comics documentary.
