Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* whoa, look at that cover for 2010's Prison Pit Vol. 2!

* speaking of Fantagraphics, I take it that Derek Van Gieson is a new addition to their webcomics offerings. I like the work, and followed their link back to his web site.

* Arthur has three pages up from Michael Deforge's Lose #1.

* the mighty Jim Woodring lets us see a panel from the project after the project that's coming out in Spring 2010.

* Darryl Cunningham of the forthcoming Blank Slate effort Psychiatric Tales (February 2010) wrote in about future plans.

"There will be a second volume [of Psychiatric Tales], as there are a ton of things I couldn't get around to covering, including ECT, staff burnout, forms of dementia, substance abuse, the homeless, and about a million other things. There's no end to subjects I could cover. I'm aiming for early 2011 for a completion date for the second volume.

"I'm also restarting my San Diablo strip for Activate at the end of November. This should finish sometime around April."

I'm looking forward to both volumes.

* the great Drew Friedman provides a stunning cover to a New York Observer collection.

* according to a press release they sent out on November 5, Arcana Studios is launching a quarterly comics and pop culture magazine to be called Arcana, based on a re-design of the on-line magazine Extra Sequential. The new magazine will debut in late January and has the Diamond Code NOV09 0599. It will be 96 pages long.

* the writer Brian Bendis spent a portion of the weekend on twitter answering questions about forthcoming projects. He'll be doing a Daredevil book in summer 2010 with David Mack to be called Daredevil: End of Days. He may or may not do an Alias mini-series with Michael Gaydos next year. He has a creator-owned crime book in the works with Alex Maleev. There's a bunch of stuff about plotlines in his current Avengers-centric slate of book as well.

* so I guess Chuck Dixon and Gary Kwapisz have started a comics imprint devoted to historical comics. Sounds good to me.

* finally, NBM has a third Little Nothings volume out in the new year, and is serializing the sometimes beautiful on-line strip on its blog.
