Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the nominations for this year's Eagle Awards are open.

* Chuck Wells talks about 2008's Legion Of 3 Worlds. My first reaction is to note that it's already been three years since Legion Of 3 Worlds, which 30 years would have been half the expected lifetime readership of a comics fan. My second reaction is that I remember wanting to like that title, but there weren't enough arms being pulled off to my taste. I renew my call for DC to make the Legion universe public domain reserving the rights to publish non-exclusive versions of anything anyone comes up with; Marvel should do this with Dr. Strange or the New Universe characters.

* this is always distressing to hear.

* Scott Edelman provides a look at a few excellent newspaper photos from an event years back celebrating the 75th year of the comic strip.

* Daryl Cagle pulls out another group of cartoons related to Egypt from one of the international cartoonists syndicated through his site.

* both ICv2.com and The Daily Cartoonist hint at new sites/major re-designs in the offing. Alan Gardner has already gone ahead and announced he's closing comments for good. I'd say I can relate to the desire, but having comments for as long as Gardner had them would have driven me batshit insane several months ago, so I can't really speak to getting rid of them.

* a digital comic in conjunction with a Super Bowl commercial makes perfect sense to me.

* doing a kids comic doesn't mean you get to be lazy.

* finally, here's a lengthy appreciation of Sin Titulo -- the current Cameron Stewart webcomic, not the Paul Pope standalone from 1993.
