Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* not comics: Heidi MacDonald notes the departure of the sympathetic driving force behind Legendary Pictures could have a significant impact on how they use their comics arm, currently run by industry veteran Bob Schreck. I'm happy for the jobs created by that line although none of the comics seem to have taken a dynamic life of their own within comics, save perhaps for that Frank Miller Holy Terror book that many people hated.

* dinga ding ding ding ding ding ding ding...

* not comics: I enjoyed the work of the late character actor Miguel Ferrer: he was a man better than the bad material he was given and as good as the good stuff. I'm certain you can read at various points around the comics Internet about his comics fandom; he was a San Diego con-goer back when noteworthy Hollywood actors there could barely fill out a bingo card. He even co-scripted a series for Marvel. I'll be happy if I make 61, but I bet very few folks 61 feel that way.

* finally: go see Roz Chast if you're in Tacoma. She's great.
