* there's a new place to buy books and read about books and complain about the way people read and buy books. Here's the page that comes up on a graphic novel search. That's certainly an odd window into the comics medium.
* it's difficult for a link-blog like this one to link to a column that takes on multiple subjects, so I don't expect I'll do a lot of linking to the "Crossing Borders" column, but I thought this one featuring Bastien Vives and Jeroen Janssen worth braving the clumsiness of presenting it here.
* J. Caleb Mozzocco takes a costumed-focused look at a new videogame-related comic. I'm glad he did that, because I got that comic book in the mail and I had no idea what the hell was going on.
