Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Tom Devlin and Peggy Burns conclude their Angouleme Odyssey long after anyone would think people might remain naturally interested with a day in Paris, include a must-see visit to, well, several places. Lots of people dressed casually and well and looking put-together.

image* the writer and critic Sean T. Collins looks at the work of Uno Moralez, and points us to this Tumblr account.

* don't forget Team Cul-De-Sac.

* not comics: Jeet Heer provides a look at Canada Reads, the program from which Jeff Lemire's Essex County was recently eliminated.

* the cartoonist Gabrielle Bell has a really big poster to sell you for cheap.

* in brightest day, in blackest night, free speech is always worth the fight. Something, something, joke about the film maybe bombing.

* Dan Nadel explains Fort Thunder. Well, somebody had to.

* finally, the always reliable Chris Sims looks at comic books' finest romantic relationships. It's a fun list, although someone needs to get that guy some Harvey Comics to look at: "Casper and Anyone That Will Have Him" was sorely missing from that list. Also, I was startled by the blackout of curse words in the Preacher selection, mostly because it made those word balloons look super-filthy. When it comes to crappy relationships in comics, no one out-hustles the Legion Of Super-Heroes.
