The Unresolved Questions Dept.

* Kiel Phegley at Wizard provides a succinct take of where the rights struggle over the Miracleman/Marvelman series stands today; it sort of looks like that famous blasted-out cityscape scene from one of the series' most popular issues.

* Here's a nugget from a recent Lynn Johnston profile touching on an issue that didn't register with me as something in question until I read the headline: Johnston will resolve her character Elizabeth's love life before pushing the strip into a frozen-in-amber framework role for presenting old material. That plot point has been the subject of much attention because of the line it seems to be drawing between Johnston's view on what makes people happy (staying close to home; marrying close to the family) and the strong disagreement (moving away from home, creating a life for oneself) with this notion expressed by many readers who grew up with the character. I hadn't even considered the possibility the issue might go unresolved.

* With an Iron Man movie in the making, I wondered if any political voices out there would engage with the character's munitions dealer past. Jumping the gun, the recent DVD movie prompted one blogger to write that he misses it.
