Random Comics News Story Round-Up

A smattering of articles and features out there on a Friday morning:

* In what seems like fairly major news but also self-evident and dependent on execution so I don't mind putting it here, Publishers Weekly reports that the significant retail company Trans World Entertainment Corp. (TWE) has contracted with Bookazine to create manga sections for its mall-friendly stores, an effort that will be carried by that company's Popazine initiative.

* You can go here to see photos of Craig Thompson drawing in collaboration with band Menomena.

* I'm not totally sure what's going on in these videos of Jose-Luis Munuera at Angouleme, but I've seen so little video from that show's floor, I thought the background details made it worthwhile.

* Hopefully not betraying some subconscious disdain for manga, I skipped posting links to this two part interview at the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com. The stuff in part two about digital downloads of manga, and how the American and Japanese markets differ, caught my attention.

* Alan Gardner celebrates a second anniversary at Daily Cartoonist and takes stock, including some hit numbers.

* Here's a video I haven't watched yet using the comics holdings at VCU as its revolve-around point. Since multiple people e-mailed this to me, I'm guessing someone posted it this morning or yesterday, and my apologies for not knowing who that is.
