Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

* Christopher Hastings has closed down the practice of Dr McNinja, a stalwart of webcomics since the mid-2000s and I think a representative comedic voice of its time. Hastings is a working creator with a variety of projects, all of which you can learn about here. Congratulations to Mr. Hastings.

* Jon Erik Christianson talks to Kathleen Jacques.

* totally missed that Scribd stopped offering comics. I have no idea what that means, but I assume the popular guesses are that the category has limits and that comiXology is kicking ass. Both of those things are likely true although I think the first one may be the most pertinent. Comics' gains are usually made against a poor previous performance; we don't know that things can keep expanding in all sales channel just because a few indicators go way up every now and then, like comics as a bookstore category or whatever.

* I'm having a hard time keeping track of the various programs, but any addition of Megahex and Kaijumax is going to benefit any line being offered. Actually, even if you're not a customer it's intriguing to see how these company are building these lines/packages.

* finally, the review site Sequential State has its new header up. This one is from Tommi Parrish.
