Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Alex Hoffman on Coyote Doggirl.

* not comics: I can never tell what percentage of these articles are that old saw about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but every suggestion outside of teaching local experts to write makes sense to me. I would also caution against giving the audience too much of what it wants, no matter what the research indicates.

* Brigid Alverson profiles Spike Trotman.

* one of the weird things about have 40 year plotlines in comics is that in team comics like X-Men you end up creating waves of characters that get lost when the older one assert their presence. The solution seems to be to kill them. It's kind of weird and sad, and they burn off a lot of pretty good characters that nonetheless can't make an impression outside of their initial narrative cycle.

* go, look: a preview of A Fire Story.

* finally: David Mazzucchelli on his friend Ted Stearn.
