Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Levon Jihanian wrote in to mention that Danger Country #2 will be out in time for APE. The first issue was nominated for a pair of Ignatz Awards.

* in the "comics' nice guys" department, Zander Cannon will be the cover illustrator for the next Lutefisk Sushi effort, while Gene Yang has since January been working on writing the next Airbender: The Last Avatar comic book. That latter announcement should have driven its own announcement as Yang has a long history as an involved fan of that property, and has fashioned a nice career for himself with his own work, but I kept forgetting to put something up. Sorry, Gene. That one's from Dark Horse, and looks like it's being published in digest form.

* I hope this John Martz book from AdHouse Books doesn't get lost in the Fall Books crush.

* the good news is that Optic Nerve will have a new issue out soon. The bad news is that if you stop to realize how many years Optic Nerve has been around you may develop a tiny headache. It's still way better news that a new issue is coming out, though.

* Paul Rainey is serializing a new series on-line.

* a discussion about restoring Simon & Kirby.

* Dean Haspiel is apparently about to undertake a new Billy Dogma storyline.

* this Facebook post from Barry Deutsch indicates he's finished script work on Hereville 2.

* Johanna Draper Carlson parses an IDW press release about having acquired the Magic: The Gathering license, looking for how they negotiate the fact that this was a much more popular endeavor 15 years ago. I'm not suggesting you click on this link without turning down your speakers -- there's some dramatic music there and I don't know how to stop it -- but it's a report that indicates IDW did okay with at least the first issues of its latest license that may have been more popular years ago.

* here are details on November's Wally Wood sci-fi collection from Vanguard.

* this site doesn't mention as many new on-line efforts as it probably should, so consider this a step in that direction: Matthew Badham directs our attention to a site devoted to cataloging and reviewing stand-alone stories from the long run of 2000 AD.

* finally, a brief mention at the D+Q blog notes that Brian Ralph's zombie comic Daybreak was pulled aside by customs officials, and that this has delayed the US debut in shops until after SPX. The book will be at SPX, however, as will Ralph.
