Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Johnny Bacardi has a new comics reviewing gig. If you're a fan, you should bookmark.

image* these pages look attractive, and a quick peek at the CR archives shows that at some point I knew they were re-telling Superman's origin. Again. Still, that can't be the reaction they're looking for: "Hey, look at that attractive comic in a series I've completely forgotten about." Not the target audience, I know.

* a little historical comics love for George Wallace. The segregationist, not the comedian.

* I quite enjoyed looking at this.

* are you ready for... the manga movable feast?

* not comics: those are some fine-looking covers for the next issue of Dodgem Logic, although I feel like the only human being that's appreciative of but sort of bored by modern burlesque. I know, I suck. A big part of it is I knew a lady who recently passed away who worked the clubs in the old days, and I never got a chance to ask her how she felt about it, and was always dying to, so I've always felt like I was holding off on having a full opinion on that world and still feel like I only have a half-opinion on it.

* finally, birthday boy Alan David Doane is selling off some graphic novels and comic books to meet a dentistry bill. I've bought from Alan in the past and will take a longer look at his list sometime today. But I can vouch as far as past experience will take you that you'll get the books with some amount of care in their packaging. Also, Alan tends to offer pretty good deals.
