Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* J. Caleb Mozzocco muses on the Lois Lane character within the period of time bound by the New 52 initiative. Lois Lane's a great character, a potential top five character for that company if handled correctly, and I have no idea what they've been doing with her since 2011 except that she's not dating Superman.

* Michael Buntag on The Star Wars. Rob Kirby on Trashed. Greg Hunter on I Fell Asleep. Eszter Szep on The Motherless Oven.

* Dave Richards talks to Charles Soule. Rob Kirby talks to Robert Triptow. Annie Mok talks to KL Ricks. Julinda Morrow talks to Gerhard.

* like many older comics fans, I wonder if there are similar repositories of comics out there still to be discovered. The most useful, I think, might something fiercely devoted to 1970s and 1980s alt/underground/indie with a dip into minis, which seem to me categories and time periods where things are really hard to find even if you have a ton of cash.

* here's something slightly different: a profile of an original art dealer, with maybe the added novelty that they arrange for commissions. I think that side of the business is fascinating and barring systemic abuse useful in a lot of cases, and I'm super pro library so maybe I shouldn't have such kind feelings.

* hey, new Ryan Holmberg.
