Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

* a new magazine, SuccoAcido, launches promising articles in a variety of languages and from a variety of countries.

* the much-lauded writer/artist team of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips will debut their creator-owned Incognito in December, from Marvel's Icon imprint. Called "a twisted mash-up of noir and super-heroics" in the solicitation copy, Incognito likely recalls the Brubaker/Phillips team name-making effort Sleeper more than it does the straight-up crime book Criminal, although the book looks to be in the same, extras-stuffed format of the latter title.

There's a nice-looking cover and a couple of pages with the announcement that I'm running here so you can see them at actual full size rather than crammed in here. I enjoyed Sleeper, and I enjoy Criminal, so I'm looking forward to this.

* great news for magazine cartooning fans: Fantagraphics will be doing a giant, fancy, slipcased Gahan Wilson collection, due October 2009. That's great news for fans of cartooning, period.

* finally, Tom Crippen has joined Noah Berlatsky at the blog Hooded Utilitarian. A long-time writer about comics, Crippen is probably best known as the author of the Comics Journal's current superhero column. As for Berlatsky, the writer debuts a new column here.
