* the biggest news of the moment is the release yesterday of a first book from the mega-popular xkcd, from Randal Munroe.

* it looks like DC is going to do a hardcover book series of its Fables property.

image* they are some of the most thrilling words you can hear about comics, and it's been that way for 20 years now: "There's a new King-Cat out." Okay, maybe it's not all the way out for a couple of days, but it's basically here.

* the cartoonist Joey Weiser has launched a new webcomic called Monster Isle, a version of which appears in Jake. It looks adorable.

* here's another one of those Kickstarter things, this time on behalf of the Gordon McAlpin comic Multiplex. I think I'm going to do all future, similar announcements in this column rather than in their own post. Definitely, if you're a fan or you just like helping cartoonists out generally, check it out.

* the talented Cameron Stewart will take over from Philip Tan for the next art stint on the Grant Morrison-written Batman and Robin.

* there's a tenth issue out of the Paul Rainey title No Time Like The Present.

* the Kuti Kuti folks have a bunch of new stuff hitting the stands: a 13th issue of the same-name anthology, a silent comic from Roope Eronen, a 52-page Aapo Rapi color comic and Tommi Musturi hardcover. Check it out.

* Daryl Cagle's popular editorial cartoonists web site is adding Bill Garner.

* finally, on-line comics commentary veterans Alan David Doane and Christopher Allen are editing a new group blog called Trouble With Comics. In addition to their own writing, they'll be acting as editors on selection of writers that includes Johnny Bacardi, d. emerson eddy, Mick Martin, Marc Sobel Diana Tamblyn, Alex Ness, Matt Springer and David Wynne.
