Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked

* a couple more Strange Tales 2 previews have surfaced, from Farel Dalrymple, Rafael Grampa.

* Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett have signed a deal with Boilerplate publisher Abrams for a similarly-formatted companion work to be called Frank Reade: Adventures in the Age of Invention.

* the Dinette Set moves to United Features. As Alan Gardner points out in the linked-to post, Larson had left Creators recently, ostensibly to self-syndicate.

image* did I already post a link to this short article on various new works including the forthcoming second graphic novel by Olivier Schrauwen? Even if I did, I don't mind posting it again.

* what Jason Aaron is writing.

* more Josh Simmons forthcoming comics news to delight and make one nervous, maybe at the same time.

* in anthology line-up news: Solipsistic Pop Vol. 3; that Inkstuds book.

* catch one for me, Grant!

* in Kickstarter news, Shaenon Garrity and Jeffrey Wells are raising money for the next Skin Horse print volume. Wait... what? Okay, news just in: in just about the time it took me to write that first sentence, Garrity and Wells raised all the money they were looking for. Holy crud, indeed.

* in publishing juggernaut news, they've announced the Fall release date for the next Wimpy Kid book -- not exactly comics, but still.

* Paul Gilligan is going to try a one-year-long narrative at Pooch Café.

* finally, Richard Thompson posts a cover rough for the third Cul-De-Sac book, by which he and I both mean the original series of books as opposed to the new treasury-sized series of books (many strips run multiple series). What's interesting about Richard's post is he gets into where he got the idea and that kind of image-making.
