Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* looks like the store attempting to rise from the ashes of Comic Relief has a name: The Escapist.

* this discussion between Kiel Phegley, Tom Brevoort and Ed Brubaker proves fascinating for how it unpacks the decision to bring the character of Bucky back in the pages of Captain America, and how a decision like that is reached at a company like Marvel.

* Frank Santoro has a Tumblr account now. Meanwhile, over at Comics Comics, he's written a longish post about cartoonist day jobs.

* Evan Dorkin reads and reacts to a bunch of comics. Dustin Harbin writes a similar "what I've experienced and what I thought about it article," although it's more focused on a range of material processed in a bunch of different places rather than print comics.

* this made me laugh.

* Oliver East sent along this link to a Flickr set from the recent Manchester show displaying for sale his art and that from like-minded artists. "It was a good turn out and I sold at least 12 Santoro's, 3 Porcelino's and a Badman to people who "don't like comics,'" East wrote CR. Speaking of comics-related exhibits, here are photos from the Henry & Glenn Gang Bang 1.

* not comics: go here to see a collage made by artist Jeff Keen from an old issue of The Shadow. (thx, Mike Everleth)

* here's a review of the Viz iPad app.

* they don't make cartoons much more classic than this one.

* David P. Welsh asks after manga you'd like to see come back in print, and notes at least one title where demand has made prices shoot through the roof. Not a title I would have expected, either.

* not comics: a Huffington Post feature puts Dylan Horrocks in Madison.

* that collection of Big Questions is sure going to be something. Speaking of future publishing projects, someone needs to get on these cool-looking, Bastien Vives-drawn adventure comics and get them over here, stat. I need more cool-looking adventure comics, and so do you.

* not comics: every time I went to the site my screen seized up, but I like the idea of a site where you remix existing comics art.

* finally, this article about the most frequently re-launched mainstream comics companies is both fascinating and distressing, mostly for the same reasons. It's like watching someone cut themselves.
