* you gotta love the comics Internet; I can't even imagine getting to see something like this change of address flyer from years and years ago without it.

* Brigid Alverson talks to Tomo Maeda. George Tramountanas talks to Brian Wood. Albert Ching talks to Nick Bradshaw. Lauren Davis talks to Spike Trotman. It takes an entire library to talk to Rob Jackson.

* the Sergio Argones site has been updated.

* happy birthday, Superman.

* finally, I'm not all that interested in the argumentation that led to this post from retailer Brian Hibbs, but the reminder that it's sort of scary when Marvel is only selling comics up to a 63K level is worth seeing if you haven't, particularly in terms of Hibbs' claim that there are more than enough readers in the market right now to support a better performance from Marvel's books than that. I think he's right, even though I think there aren't enough readers in that market.
