Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News
By Tom Spurgeon
* the comics academic Brian Cremins sent along some information about Keiler Roberts' cover design for his book
Captain Marvel And The Art Of Nostalgia.
"Keiler's included a lot of allusions in her design: the photos over the desk are all based on pics of my grandparents during World War II (I use my grandfather's experience in the Army War Show as historical counterpoint to Billy Batson's attempt to join the Army in the summer of 1942); the dress on the bed is based on the design of one my grandmother is wearing in one of those old photos; and of course on the desk you see the Mr. Tawny doll and a version of Beck's cover for Whiz #22."
The book is due in early '17 from University Of Mississippi Press.

here's a lengthy article from James Whitbrook about various permutations of the forthcoming
Civil War 2 project. I don't how much information you can glean from something like that about the relative quality of the story to be told, but you can frequently interpret which characters are perceived to have value by the company.
* I goofed up the timing on this one, but
here are two solid-sounding announcements from IDW's Top Shelf:
Cigarette Girl and
The Jekyll Island Chronicles. The first one is by Masahiko Matsumoto and features an introduction by the late Yoshihiro Tatsumi.
* finally,
Vile #1 previewed.
