Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I linked to this from Twitter and Facebook, but forgot to on the site: a slightly foul-mouthed boy making his opinion known to the editor that droppped his favorite newspaper comics.

image* KC Carlson on Marvel: The Avengers Fault. The Comic Books Are Burning In Hell guys apparently go after The Sculptor pretty hard here.

* missed it: John Parker has love for the way Sean Phillips draws cars.

* no idea where I saw this first, but that's a cool piece of art.

* not comics: I didn't follow this particular articles/facebook/twitter thing at all, but it seems to be one of those minor controversies where people seem super-charged about the issues involved and where every individual is coming from a place that is probably a bit more nuanced, or at least less certain, than sessions of Internet-shouting might communicate. As someone raised watching plays as much as movies, I have a hard time processing the investment that people seem to have in how films must embody a certain expected reality.

* look at this fun William Stout art.

* look at these two beautiful limited-edition books by Simon Roussin. Hyper-limited editions is going to be a big component of comics buy five years now, and sort of already is.

* finally, Mike Sterling looks at how the comic book adaptation of Star Trek dealt with continuity between installments of the then-concurrent movie series.
