Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* Julia Wertz announces a return to posting diary comics on-line, at the same time she has news of a collection of the work that makes the first part of this sentence news.

* You know what buy comics at comiXology reminds me of? It reminds me of the early to mid 1980s when a bunch of us music-interested kids -- pretty much all kids -- with the means to do so started converting from turntables to CD players. We didn't convert all of the way, we weren't always convinced that CD's were better, there were storage advantages, we were rebuying stuff, and the sales strategies were all wonky because everything was back on the table again as a potential new purchase.

* Meredith Gran made a note on twitter I can't find now -- it's probably easy to find, I'm just slow today -- that said this latest run of Octopus Pie might be the last hurrah for her doing black and white on that series. I like that work in black and white, although her work holds color very well, too.

* here's a manga resource guide heavy on the digital options.

* if you want to read a ton of interesting work on-line, go here and start hitting the links.

* finally, Gary Tyrrell puts the new Medium/Nib hiring in perspective, noting everything that's happened with that site in the last year. What a year Matt Bors has had over there.
