Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Tim Hodler leads a discussion on the auteur theory in comics.

image* the writer and reviewer David Brothers talks about writing black characters in mainstream superhero comics and provides a sample that breaks one of his rules but does so in such stylish fashion that he doesn't care.

* that Panther's Rage discussion moves into a part three.

* seriously, this new trend of sending me personal messages on Facebook about your Event listing in addition to your Event listing? All it gets you is blackballed. Tagging me with pictures or with comments that don't exist except to get me to read something that hypes your Event? Same thing. Contact information is on the site, and nothing there suggests you press me via social networking tools. I greatly, greatly, greatly appreciate being informed as to what's going on, but I only need it once, and I appreciate the respect inherent in your letting me decide what I can use and what I can't.

* Gary Tyrrell muses on the Ignatz webcomics category nominees in terms of when they were made/published.

* did I see a review of the new Superman original graphic novel effort by Brian Hibbs that's no longer up at Savage Critics, or am I slowly going crazy? He didn't seem to like it very much.

* finally, a symphony of Aacks.
