Assembled, Zipped, Transferred and Downloaded: Digital News

By Tom Spurgeon

* the alt-comics veteran Jose Neufeld is beginning a series of stories about those whose lives felt the impact of Hurricane Sandy over at the Nib on Medium.com. Neufeld has something of a history with the subject of hurricanes.

* Viz taking making its catalog available via iBooks completes a digital-offering strategy that pretty much covers all the major, standard ways work like that is distributed, including from the publisher itself.

* I don't exactly know what this is, but I wanted to mention it here so I could go back to it at a later date. It looks to be some sort of clearinghouse for on-line work and parts of same.

* a CBLDF fundraiser on the Sunday after CAB (making it November 10) at the Society of Illustrators will encompass a debut for Jeff Smith's much-anticipated webcomic Tuki Save The Humans. That is one high-profile webcomic launch.

* the last item in this post by Gary Tyrrell goes over the Megan Rose Gedris situation regarding taking down a bunch of webcomics in support of a project she created because the comics-as-launching-point-to-movies company Platinum has turned out to be such a rotten partner in terms of developing anything regarding that work, and that there is no rights reversion so she's basically supporting an enterprise that is not hers and will never do what she hoped. It's worth mentioning in this site as many times as possible if it leads to one person lawyering up or otherwise thinking through a deal for the sake of a deal.

* finally, I'm going to "go look" it at some point, but the e-mail from Dan Berry suggests this collaboration with Nate DiMeo will be the first of a series rather than a one-off, which is great.
