Bundled, Tossed, Untied & Stacked: Publishing News



By Tom Spurgeon

* Ron Regé Jr. will have a new collection and a reprint of an older collection out from Fantagraphics next Spring.

* not sure I'd seen a cover for the next Mimi Pond book. I don't know if it's the final version, but it could be. I liked the world created in that first book.

* speaking of things I've seen on Amazon, it'll be good to have more translated Dupuy and Berberian.

* I mentioned this project when it was initially announced -- I'm a fan of Tara Avery -- but here's a reminder the all-trans comics anthology We're Still Here is looking for submissions.

* I like the Inhumans characters, although I'm not sure I've liked any of the post-1970s comics featuring those character. Still, hope springs eternal, and Christian Ward is a strong artist.

* a new Wasp series previewed. I share Gilbert Hernandez's fondness for the character in the original '60s comics as having some life an interest and humor to her, but have no idea how she's been used since and no experience with the current character bearing that superhero mantle. I like that there are superhero comics for a variety of people now.

* Colleen Coover's Small Favors will enjoy a collection published by Oni's naughty offshoot Limerence Press, "limerence" being a fine SAT word. Those comics were the highlight of the last period Eros Comix had a little market presence.

* this comic that represented a good job for some people I'm sure although it looks light on a human touch to me has been canceled. That's always sad.

* I did not know about Jillian Tamaki's picture book, but I bet it will be something to see.

* finally, Keeli McCarthy's art direction on the next Fante Bukowski book is pretty great. Author Noah Van Sciver agrees.
