Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Eisner voting for 2015 ends over the weekend. Good luck to all the nominees and good fortune to every votess

* Zainab Akhtar on R.A.T. Todd Klein on The Sculptor. Sean Gaffney on Kagerou Daze Vol. 1. Henry Chamberlain on Fertility and Tuff Ladies. Noah Berlatsky on Ranma 1/2. Johanna Draper Carlson on Lumberjanes #14. Michael Buntag on Thor #8. Richard Bruton on Hollow Girl. Kim Jooha on How It Happened.

* Hillary Brown talks to Nate Powell. Abraham Riesman talks to Dan Clowes. I like the idea he entertains here that something like plagiarism shouldn't be forgiven, but that also doesn't mean an active, festering grudge.

* Sarah McIntyre draws various Mad Max: Fury Road characters in a style akin to a child's. It's a sign how solid those designs are that they withstand all of these different treatments.

* Bob Temuka suggests that DC had three paths they could take in the late 1990s. I do think one of the more prominent earths out there has Mark Waid running that show at some point, that seems like a really divergent reality that could have happened but didn't.

* I'm very fond of the idea of things like sketchbook collections finding a frequent home on-line.

* I quite liked this Brian Nicholson piece on two very different comics that utilize the two panels on a page approach -- a distinctive and under-used form of comics making.

* what a lovely portrait of Don Knotts by Ronald Searle.

* finally, I totally missed Jilian Tamaki's Worm Comic.
