Bundled, Tossed, Untied And Stacked



By Tom Spurgeon

* missed that Richard Thompson released the imagery that will accompany the complete Cul De Sac collection coming out next year. It's hard for me to imagine a much bigger publishing event for 2014 off the top of my head, and there won't be one I'll enjoy as much. Petey Otterloop 4-ever.

* Gene Luen Yang talks to collaborator Sonny Liew about his work, with the 2014 publication of their collaboration The Shadow Hero as the hook.

* the release date on Clifford Meth's Comic Book Babylon has been pushed back to President's Day.

* Jillian Tamaki writes about the other parts of putting together a publishing project with This One Summer.

* received an e-mail from Ari Jayaprakash, the creator of the forthcoming Kuru Chronicles about early promotional efforts on behalf of the massive, forthcoming book: here and here.

* here are all the covers for the Pretty Deadly launch in one place. It does look like variant covers are pretty well ensconced in that part of the market for that kind of book debut.

* great to hear that Bob Fingerman signed a three book deal with Les Humanoides Associés.

* Warren Ellis will be writing a Moon Knight comic book for Marvel Comics. I think Ellis is a really solid writer on slightly off-center mainstream superhero comics and it's to Marvel's credit they find a place to employ talent like that in a way that serves their own interests in developing certain properties. That sounds like damning with faint praise, but I mean it, that's what publishers do when they work: match talent to need.

* finally, I don't think I'd seen an image from Nick Abadzis' forthcoming Cigar That Fell In Love With A Pipe, or, really, heard much about it at all. I always enjoy reading Abadzis' work. That is from this dedicated Tumblr site.
