Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Ken Parille wrote a piece in memory of Alvin Buenaventura, here.

* Elle Collins at Comics Alliance has the basics from the first round of strategies announced for DC's Rebirth initiative, which really is another near-linewide reboot. Part of me thought that was a joke that stuck. It seems there's a focus on cheaper books by copy fewer titles but several titles doubled-up, and a step away though not dismantling of pro diversity narrative strategy. I assume Batman will still be cool. No odd takes on characters seems to be coming back in a major, bet-the-farm way , although I've always been charmed by the Super Sons. I think it's all in the execution.

* good news in that direction would be DC's signing just announced of a few sturdy, younger mainstream comics creators, including the popular Tom King.
