Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* hey, it's Puke Force.

* Kristy Valenti on Ronin. Paul Di Filippo on Bill Griffith: Lost And Found. David Brother on King City. Don MacPherson on DC Universe Presents #6. Johanna Draper Carlson on Uglies: Shay's Story. Sean Gaffney on Hayate The Combat Butler Vol. 19.

* look at all the pretty P. Craig Russell pages!

* here's something about DC's "New 52" initiative from last Fall that I hadn't thought of -- it makes crossover event-type stuff a little easier to figure out because many of the titles feeling the impact of said crossover will have the same issue number. Not all of them, though, as they add titles. Maybe they should take over for older titles '60s Marvel style.

* art directors: Fantagraphics is hiring.

* love for Blankets on Oprah.com.

* it's neat that there's a Diane Noomin collection out.

* Mike Dawson talks to Dylan Horrocks. Charles Brownstein profiles Ben McCool. George RR Martin profiles Gary Gianni. Someone at Novi Magazine profiles Moto Hagio. David Harper talks to Joelle Jones.

* Graeme McMillan reminds that the Diamond day-and-date digital comics offering will be at $1.99 a pop.

* not comics: this can't be legal, can it?

* I can't believe I missed Prince Valiant's 75th birthday. Imagine I said something that made me look really old and nostalgic.

* the worst Justice League members of all time.

* James Romberger talks about Before Watchmen and Watchmen. I never thought what Romberger discusses was a big flaw of the book; I always thought it was Moore criticizing the ability to engage the entirety of massively complicated and screwed up human relationships in a work of tightly-wound fiction. That could be a way over-generous reading, though.

* finally, I totally missed this beautiful Valentine's Day-related PDF from J. Chris Campbell.
