Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

*****

* over at Domino Books, Austin English previews several pages from Spider Monkey, a project he's working on with Jesse McManus.

* DC Women Kicking Ass tracks the relatively short but extremely tortured road for the Batwoman character to launch in her own issue #1. Speaking of DC Comics, they're apparently bringing back their Ray character, and there are already some creative team changes on other "New 52" projects.

* here's a bit of news I can't say anyone expected: Archaia will release an English-language version of Marjane Satrapi's illustrated book with Edward Gauvin The Sigh in November. Satrapi has a ton of fans, particularly those that will buy her in bookstores, so that has to be a fine opportunity for Archaia. The article mentions that Archaia will be doing similar book-release projects from European publishers in the coming months. Satrapi should also be doing a bunch of promotion in support of her Poulet aux prunes movie.

* occasional writer about comics Ed Howard has moved his comics writing to a devoted site, Thinking In Panels.

* Broken Frontier profiles a book I hadn't heard a thing about, but might be of interest out there to music-loving comics folks (both readers and publishers): Hervé Bourhis' Het Kleine Boek Van De Beatles.

* the cartoonist Billy Tucci is re-telling the story of the birth of Jesus in comics form. I take it from the article that this has a very evangelical Christian thrust, but I'm not 100 percent certain.

* Toon Talk has migrated to Facebook.

* finally, I keep on forgetting to mention this graphic novel from New Zealand or as a OTBP, if only for the relative novelty of new work from that wonderful place: Kimble Bent: Malcontent.
