Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* did everyone except me know that Milton Knight, Jr. has a new Hugo out this summer? Here's a preview.

* Koyama Press announced its Fall 2012 titles this week, and since I lost the e-mail press release, I'll draft behind Heidi MacDonald's earlier post of same. It's a new Lose from Michael DeForge, a new collection of short stories from Julia Wertz and something called The Big Team Society League Book Of Answers that involves talented Toronto people. I think that's quite the fine line-up, and I look forward to reading all of these works. DeForge is a potential generation-defining talent and Julia Wertz makes me laugh. Whatever I get from Team Toronto is a bonus. My understanding is that Koyama will be well-represented at this year's Small Press Expo.

* not comics: cartoonist and illustrator Jeremy Eaton has launched a YouTube channel for his animated work.

* this isn't exactly comics, but I didn't know until I ran into Mike Baehr in San Diego that Cathy Malkasian has a big ol' on-line shop.

* speaking of Heidi MacDonald like we were a few entries up, she went with the tweet over the Facebook posting from Box Brown about him doing an Andre The Giant book for First Second, which means she didn't have to sit there and wonder how to report something that wasn't going to show up when people hit the link. So much I can learn.

* I bookmarked this Christopher Allen analysis of Marvel's forthcoming line refashioning, but haven't read it. Christopher Allen is always fun for me to read. As I've written before, I think Marvel doesn't have a lot of room to maneuver with something like this in terms of a) having to respond to what DC is doing, b) having to respond to what DC is doing but still use the creators they've come to trust, c) not being able to replicate exactly what it is DC is doing. So all the stuff they've announced sounds like it lines up with those principles.

* finally, I'm happy to see Domino Books has released their fifth book: Space Basket. All hail Domino Books.
