Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Todd Klein on Green Lantern: New Guardians #37. Chris G on She-Hulk #12. Tony Guerrero on The Multiversity: Mastermen #1. Jason Sacks on Sock Monkey: Deep In The Woods.

* I wonder sometimes if I'm beyond being able to read and enjoy pop-culture list-making exercises the way I used to, but that shouldn't stop anyone else from liking this comparison of hip-hop and comics.

* Dan Berry talks to Scott McCloud.

* this is true.

* Evan Dorkin draws Bizarro.

* three of you sent me this, an indication that Ben Abernathy will be playing a role at the Burbank-headquartered DC Comics. That role is director of talent relations, according to this very good article by Heidi MacDonald, which sounds promising for them given how much creators are right on top of judging every move they make in terms of how it will have an impact on their overall career. I've said all along that nostalgia aside, this move could be very good for DC, as it will expose them to a completely different hiring pool at all levels. That doesn't mean it will be a good thing, but I think there's an opportunity there to change that division's culture in a positive way.

* finally, here is a repost of Kelly Sue DeConnick's advice on getting started in comics. Comics above all other media has almost no gatekeepers except for very specific expressions in very specific ways. But if my counted on my finding purchase in any field within three to five years, I'd choose comics. Still, it's never easy.
