Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* Top Shelf launched two digital apps yesterday. The best and most succinct round-up is here. There's a lot of that work that I'd enjoy reading in digital iterations. I think we're on the other side of whatever tipping point there needed to be to get everyone involved in some sort of digital comics strategy, with only a few key players left to do something at least semi-major.

* Sean T. Collins caught word that the fourth issue of the alt-comics anthology pood will be its last.

* now this is interesting: DC is going to start doing digital-first comics. The announced titles still have a monthly print iteration, but with as much anecdotal evidence and conventional wisdom of the crossed-arm-and-pipe variety out there that suggests that the on-line comic book replaces the serial print comic book, a lot of folks are going to be watching this one closely.

* the next season for Abrams gets profiled at the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com. I'm looking forward to what looks like an all-systems-go Carter Family Comics. You know, this is a really good week for publishing news when Abrams announcing a whole season finds itself this far down the page.

* CCS is apparently reprinting How To Draw.

* Domino Books previews Face Man.

* Chris Oliveros makes one of his infrequent appearances on the D+Q blog to talk up their last release of 2011, a new volume from their sterling Walt & Skeezix series.

* Boom! announces its creative team for the new Peanuts work they're doing. I don't have any opinion on this at all. I mean, I should, but I just don't.

* Sequential is very excited about the Spring 2012 release of Guy Delisle's Jerusalem.

* Alan Gardner caught that Pibgorn is going to published at GoComics.com with commentary from creator Brooke McEldowney.

* finally, Floating World Comics is releasing a limited edition of a book by Kilian Eng, Object 5. It will make its public debut at the forthcoming Brooklyn Comics And Graphics Festival.
