Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* David Chelsea writes about mixing comics with immersive panoramas, something he calls "immersive comics." I can't do justice to the execution with an image here, although that should give you a rough idea of what he's talking about.

* the veteran cartoonist Steve Lafler wrote CR to say that his Bughouse is now being serialized at CO2 Comics.

* I missed this preview of a forthcoming work from Nicolas Mahler.

* it's good to see preview pages up for a new Jeff Lemire alt-comics book.

* they're trying something with the X-Men. Or maybe not. It's hard to tell with the way mainstream comics publishers announce things what constitutes a new direction and what is another weird mini-series you'll see ads for five years from now and wondered if you actually read the comics involved.

* the writing team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray will take a shot at Phantom Lady and Doll Man. Any superhero that goes by the name "Doll Man" would have to be the biggest bad-ass in the room, right?

* hey, here's a free newsletter.

* this article about Cullen Bunn taking over the Venom title kept popping up everywhere, so I guess it's reasonably big news in that corner of comics. I liked the one Bunn-penned comic book I read.

* this new Matt Seneca column will apparently deal with Seneca's choices for greatest comics of all time.

* finally, I may have mentioned this before, but it's nice to see preview pages up for the next Joe Daly book, due in June. I think that stuff looks beautiful, and Daly has an odd and unsettling way of telling all of his stories but particularly this one. He's kind of like a cross between Tim Lane and Josh Simmons, and I like both of those guys, too.
