Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked

* Retrofit Comics debuts with James Kochalka's Fungus. Retrofit is cartoonist Box Brown's fond nod to the heyday alternative comic books.

* IDW places some of its graphic novels into the iBook store. I have no idea what that really means, but it sounds important. Actually, I do know that IDW has been quietly pushing at digital options for a much longer while than many publishers, so this is an announcement worth noting.

* via the Wright Awards site comes news of and a trailer for the forthcoming Pascal Blanchet book.

* Gabe Fowler announced on Facebook that Smoke Signal #10 will have 7000 copies printed and feature a John Severin cover.

* the writer Graeme McMillan suggests that the world is already conspiring against this new Spider-Man kid.

* the retailer and blogger Mike Sterling is happy to see that new Sugar & Spike hardcover.

* this interview with Gabrielle Bell includes talk of two forthcoming works.

* via Gary Tyrrell comes news that Dean Trippe's Butterfly has returned.

* I'm glad to see that the series Twin Spica got to a ninth volume. I'm not sure that was always guaranteed.

* Mark Anderson takes his panel cartoons to GoComics.com.

* it's not comics, it's trading cards, but it's for a good cause.

* the anthology Chameleon will apparently debut at APE in a couple of weeks.

* it looks like Tokyopop may use a partner to co-publish a third volume of Hetalia, but apparently that's because production was completed -- it's not a return to publishing or anything.

* Johanna Draper Carlson asks after the sales on Life With Archie and notes a likely silent cancellation.

* publisher Chris Pitzer and creator Tom Scioli announced American Barbarian at SPX.

* Cable is going to shoot a lot of superheroes.

* finally, it's not really comics, but a children's book can be too close to call, and it's always nice to see his work. The book is the first in a series called Everything Goes, and featuring various modes of transportation. He has a bunch of posts about it here.
