Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on Swamp Thing #1.

* a civil case against Marvel for Iron Man designs the plaintiffs say were taken from their own armored superhero designs of several years earlier has been kicked out of a state court system when it was found there was no basis for having the case in that state's court system.

* Grave Bello talks to Daniel Clowes.

* the front half of this PW article on Angouleme you've seen in dozens of other places: all the controversies. The back half gets into the interesting rights scene, and is a bit more fun.

* there a couple of things to note about this comic shop profile, of a store in Cincinnati: the first is that the design aesthetic backs away from the overload of visual input mode that many stores favor; the second is that the store own as a business for someone late in their career doing a bunch of different stuff. I think that will be a significant percentage of comics retail outlets in 20 years.

* finally, Jason draws Lemmy.
