Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this letter and post from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund about what retailers should do to manage an aggressive media inquiry is quite the fascinating document.

* Tim O'Neil comes out swinging at the latest Marvel comics.

* David Brothers pays tribute to Sergio Aragonés. Mike Dawson talks to Zak Sally. Tom Nealon profiles Ann Nocenti.

* Graeme McMillan questions whether or not lower-priced promotional comics work well at all.

* the author and comics-maker Neil Gaiman has a letter up to which he's signed on, protesting the proposed SOPA/PIPA regulations. It sounds about right to me, although I've certainly encountered people shouting "Nuh-UH!" at some of the statements the letter makes. I believe it's possible to have better legislation on the matter, and that it's important enough to do so above and beyond some of the really strident rhetoric in play.

* Chris Mautner on that new Barney Bear book. Richard Bruton on Solipsistic Pop #4. Dan Morrill on Newave!. Brian Hibbs on one comic that showed up and one that didn't. Greg McElhatton on Prophet #21 and Steed And Mrs. Peel #1. Evie Nagy on Tarpé Mills And Miss Fury.

* Joe Field talks about ComicsPRO and their forthcoming meeting.

* P. Craig Russell has launched an intriguing-sounding Kickstarter campaign here. It's not a publishing project but an educational one.

* here are some of the webcomics that took part in protests yesterday against SOPA.

* can you identify this comic book?

* finally, saying you're sorry always goes better with art.
