* Bruce Canwell announces Star Hawks as a LOAC project, starting with a first volume in 2017. That's great news. The Goulart/Kane space saga was one of the better adventure strips out of that genre's heyday.

* James Whitbrook previews Ether and notes that the Jack Kirby and Stan Lee character Iceman has an ongoing title planned. Almost all the Jack Kirby concepts are fun, and so it's interesting to see if a modern creative team can do something with one of them.

* the Mockingbird series has been canceled. That one seemed well-liked by those reading it, and the unwillingness of a company with Marvel's resources throwing in the towel on non-hits early on has been a distressing reality for years now.

* this article tells us that Jaime Hernandez did a variant cover for that Archie/Ramones thing. Who doesn't love Jaime Hernandez?

* finally, you can't count on Amazon.com listings for exact information or even 100 percent for basic information, but an appearance by a book on the site usually means something is planned for it. Thus we are likely to get Border Worlds next year, with a conclusion. A lot of people exactly my age liked that title when it came out, and I was one of them.
