Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked
By Tom Spurgeon
* I forgot to mention this, but Matt Madden
noted that his mini-comic with Jessica Abel and Lewis Trondheim,
Cavalcade Surprise, will join L'Association's Patte De Mouche series at some later date.
*
here's a look at their catalog more generally. A lot of compelling works there; the Tom Gauld is the only one with which I'm familiar.
*
Mark Waid and Paul Smith will be doing a Spirit/Rocketeer series.
* there will be a new Katie Skelly-edited mini-comic anthology called
Out The Window available this weekend at MoCCA and, one guesses, subsequently through regular channels and directly.
* about 20 minutes after last week's "Bundled" column went live, First Second sent along a press release about their Fall 2013 season. I believe it's a repeat, or at least there was nothing on this list of which I was unaware. So I don't think it's the
announcement of the slate. Still, it's worth repeating that information, as First Second is of general and continuing interest to comics readers. The 2013 First Second Fall season will be:
Battling Boy, by Paul Pope;
Boxers & Saints, by Gene Luen Yang;
Fairy Tale Comics, by various;
Adventures in Cartooning: Characters in Action, by James Sturm, Andrew Arnold, and Alexis Frederick-Frost;
Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant, by Tony Cliff;
The Cute Girl Network, by Greg Means, MK Reed, and Joe Flood;
Tune: Still Life, by Derek Kirk Kim and Les McClaine. That's a super-solid line-up, and I think a lot of people are waiting to see if the Cliff book can be a strong performer in this market.
* the art direction on the new edition of the Gene Deitch music-related cartoons
looks nice.
*
the third issue of Suspect Device is either imminent or upon us.
*
more Baltic comics anthology goodness; that one should be out in about three weeks.
* the title
Quantum And Woody is returning as an ongoing; that was a well-liked comic book serial of its day.
* the writer Warren Ellis
is teaming with the artist Mike McKone on an original graphic novel starring the
Avengers property, initially created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. I like Ellis' superhero comics, and would be interested to see what he would do with the extra pages.
*
here's a report on the launch of a Steve Job biography in serialized manga form.
* finally, Kevin Huizenga put out
a new mini-comic about eight days ago; you should own all the Kevin Huizenga you can.
