Bundled, Tossed, Untied and Stacked

* I hadn't realized there was more Mister X material being released, most of which I'm guessing is out as we speak. I guess it's good to have that material in one place, although the comics themselves seem to have been available for pretty cheap over the years.

* here's a post about AdHouse's ambitious-sounding plans for 2009. Chris Pitzer admitted to me that if their eyes end up being bigger than their stomachs as the ongoing recession deepens and spreads they can always cut back, but it's full speed ahead for now.

* it's unclear to me whether Del Rey's acquisition of something called Ninja Girls is such a big deal it gets play in the slow-down that is the immediate holiday season or if it's only getting play because of the slow-down of the immediate holiday season. There it is, though.

* I've received an e-mail I've been unable to confirm suggesting that the long-running hardware retailing comic Mister Oswald is no more. The strip is best known for the long run it enjoyed by initial creator Russell Johnson from 1927 to 1989, and the limited nature of its subject matter -- something much more common in the late twenties than the late eighties.

* I wanted to make note of these lead-up comics IDW is doing for the forthcoming Star Trek movie. Has anyone done exactly something like that before? It seems that in the old days, you went to the comics to supplement an experience you had with a movie you probably wouldn't get to have again until three years later when it might or might not show up on TV. Now the room for a supplementary experience is in that period of quivering anticipation before the movie comes out.
