Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* J. Caleb Mozzocco on Green Lantern #50. Todd Klein on Rat God. Katherine Dacey on a pair of comics. Johanna Draper Carlson on Master Keaton Vol. 3. Martin Wisse on One-Punch Man.

* Don MacPherson profiles Bernard Chang.

* the great chronicler of the digital comics world Gary Tyrrell writes a bit about Kazu Kibushi's pedigree as a chart-topper with his Amulet series, including the interesting nugget that the sixth volume was released the same day as Raina Telgemeier's Sisters. Now that was an interesting publishing decision.

* here's one of those within-the-book/but-aware-of-that hero histories, this time about Punisher and the Vietnam War. I like how differently he's been drawn over the years, I swear because of the changing perception of what a creep like that might look.

* not comics: I don't follow the movies that closely, but this one seemed a key one in terms of positioning for DC Comics and their ambitions there. The way the fashion has gone since that one has been announced, I wouldn't be surprised to see them direct that one towards TV to better accommodate the sprawl of the original story. Hard to pass up on the glamour and money-making punch of a feature, though.

* finally, I'll try to remember to do a stand-alone post about Bob Beerbohm's auctions on behalf of health care for his family, but in case I don't, it's something you should know about. Beerbohm was an early enough comics retailer of the kind we've had ever since that all of us that enjoy that model likely owe him some thanks.
