Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

* I don't fully understand a lot of the new sites about comics that pop up, and
I don't understand this one beyond the fact that seems like it would be an expensive URL. I did get
the usual e-mail from someone at the site talking about how I should be assisting them to do whatever, and how it will benefit me to do so.

* the latest iteration of the
Legion of Superheroes will end at issue #50. That's the cover image from #49, by the way. Anyway, not that DC canceling stuff or a
Legion title biting the dust is ever news, but I had to wonder: how many times out in official fashion is that for this series? Six? Seven? Eight?
* the publisher Del Rey has announced two manga series from a newly-formed partnership with Cartoon Network:
Bakugan Battle Brawlers and
Ben 10 Alien Force. The first book will be December's
Bakugan Battle Brawlers: The Battle Begins, and will employ stills from the animated shows. The
Ben 10 Alien Force series will begin in April. Original works in both series will start the next season: Summer 2009 (
BBB) and Fall 2009 (
B10AF).

this seems like a pretty ambitious on-line endeavor man-hours wise for a promotional thing. Hadn't heard of the book before now, so I guess the announcement part worked.
* finally, if you're ever really, really bored you can always look at a bunch of forthcoming (mostly) small-press work by going to a blog search engine and typing in the phrase "my graphic novel." Here are some from the first page that pops up today:
