Random Comics New Story Round-Up

* what does it take for Cagle Cartoons to kill a cartoon? This.

* nice placement for Jon Adams in The New Yorker.

image* the writer Craig Fischer reviews inaugural titles form DC's crime comics line: Dark Entries, Filthy Rich.

* here's a video from Lewis & Clark profiling graduate Aron Nels Steinke and his new graphic novel Neptune.

* there's been a bunch of great stuff up at Comics Comics recently, including but stretching far beyond these last few efforts. Dash Shaw uses a book about the forthcoming (to US audiences) Evangelion movie as a springboard for discussion of animation influences in comics. There's also a pair of posts on Nabokov and comics (one is more of a general link post), as well as the presentation of an interview by Dan Nadel with Paul Karasik.

* so I take it we're going to see a bunch of publishers announcing their Kindle launches now?

* the publisher Kim Thompson has a fascinating post up about how Fantagraphics using a different archival resource for their new Prince Valiant book has led to them publishing an instance of violence that was originally toned down for newspaper publication.

* finally, I very much liked this article, although I'm not sure I can describe it.
