Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Alan Gardner at Daily Cartoonist catches a blog post about how to read thousands of comics books for pretty cheap on your iPad.

* missed it: Dylan Horrocks takes time out from theorizing and making the lectures to draw someone a cute robot.

* if you make it past the first blowhard, here are links to a number of concise industry reactions to Axel Alonso being named Editor-In-Chief at Marvel. Erik Larsen's is the first critical commentary I've seen. I haven't looked into it myself, but it seems to me that looking at Alonso's track record with titles he edited at Marvel would be a fair line of inquiry, albeit one fraught with complexity and in need of nuanced analysis. I hope someone with their face pressed against the mainstream comics windshield attempts that article.

* not comics: this is either fantastic, terrifying or both. Jason Lutes is in Vermont, right?

* speaking of things that are fantastic and terrifying, Todd Klein offers up a behind the scenes blog post on the work he's doing with the next League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen book.

* this may be the funniest, oddest thing I've seen all morning.

* another one from Daily Cartoonist: PBS Newshour profiles KAL's exhibit at the Cartoon Art Museum. In the e-mail sending a lot of us media types to that video, KAL (real name Kevin Kallaugher) mentioned that he'll be doing a 2012 calendar for The Economist. His 2010 and 2011 calendars were a lot of fun.

* finally, Fantagraphics runs through its various late titles and previews the cover for the first in their long-in-the-coming Pogo collection series. This interview with Stan Sakai is the first time I've gotten a sense of what that reprint project's design looks like. Snazzy.
