Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked

By Tom Spurgeon

image* through a tweet we get word that the Paul Tobin/Colleen Coover effort Banana Sunday will have a newly-colored iteration out through Oni Press in October.

* my failure to get news of We Shall Fight Until We Win out of the morass of my bookmarks during its eventually successful crowd-funder -- sorry -- means I can use it as a coming-up bundled news item.

* speaking of that morass, I pulled this elaboration of the Sandman Comics Group announcement that ran at The Beat, but I can't remember exactly why. I'm not sure there's an appetite for a clustered group of titles like this right now, but fans definitely want a reason to buy something, and a group can sometimes provide that better than individual comics. I remember the fact they announced with no artists sent a groan through portions of the creative community, as comics aren't wholly formed as creative endeavors by even the most liberal argument without some idea of the art team that will be working on those comics.

* one more: Zack Smith talks to Tom Scioli about his ongoing Jack Kirby biography project.

* here's the PR for a new UK-based comics magazine debuting May 1: ComicSceneUKPR031918.pdf.

* finally, this video came on immediately upon my clicking over there and scared the shit out of me, but it was worth it to learn we get a Farel Dalrymple series soon.
