Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News

By Tom Spurgeon

image* missed this preview of Jillian Fleck's Lake Jehovah, up at Conundrum Press for about a month now. This book will be out in October.

* the great comics statesman Paul Gravett walks his readers through solicitations and promised comics coming out early this Fall, including the Emil Ferris book that Fantagraphics is publishing, a debut with a nice amount of conversational buzz.

* missed this: the Captain Marvel character will be re-launched with Ramon Rosanas and Margaret Stohl as two of the new creatives. I'm sure it will be a fine comic book, although I'm also still certain there are long-term negative effects to constantly relaunching titles.

* did I know that Jon B. Cooke was working on a massive history of Weirdo for Last Gasp? Maybe I did but forgot. Weirdo is due some serious examination, given how good it was and how much harder it is to discern its influence on today's comics.

* let's get this out of the way, then: a big list of what Marvel Comics will look like this Fall. I suppose the story here is the benching of some traditional Marvel properties, like a traditional X-Men title.

* all the Kurt Russell vehicle comics versions you can handle under one cover.

* finally, reaching back into his DIY roots, artist Nate Powell informs us of a way to buy March Vol. 3 straight from him in valued-added form.
