Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Michael Buntag on Star Wars: Shattered Empire. Jennifer Cheng on Injection #6. Greg McElhatton on Huck #3.

* Heidi MacDonald weighs in on some recent, minimal information on page rates. I read a lot of these articles and they always seem to be nestled right up against Change For The Ages, but people have been migrating from the big cities for decades now and one way of looking at page rates has seen them stagnant since the Bicentennial. I'm all for being practical about professional opportunities available in comics, while challenging the status quo to provide better ones.

* not comics: hey, look what's out.

* Rebekah Campbell photographs and profiles Austin English, among other NYC artists from various disciplines.

* oh, to be rich. Okay, maybe not rich, but loaded with discretionary income.

* finally, this impulse is starting to hit comics shows and has the potential to transform them in the next half-decade. I'm not all the way convinced it hits as hard as it needs to to gain traction, but it's a possibility.
