Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Rob Clough on Pope Hats #3. Colin Panetta on The Badger #46. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on Resident Alien, Unterzakhn, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, Nemo: Heart Of Ice and a bunch of different comic books. Robert Boyd reviews five different comics.

* it's still very odd in a sense to see coverage like this emanating from major news organization. That's also worth reading for the eclectic group of artists assembled as representative of Thompson's career. That is not the group I'd put together, but Kim's been involved with so many books there worlds of interpretations there.

* Bill Baker Talks to Keu Cha. Adam Witt talks to Brandon Graham.

* Batman hasn't been reacting well to the latest tragic storyline.

* the retailer and foundational comics blogger Mike Sterling notes that a long-time customer at his store passed away, and talks about him a bit. Noticing someone is gone and then googling them and finding out the bad news is something we all do a lot of these days, and it's only going to get more frequent until it's our time to go.

* there was a press release late last week put out there by Diamond where the distributor reported well over four and a half million comic books were ordered for the forthcoming Free Comic Day 2013. That's a lot of funnybooks.

* Josh Kopin applauds Jeph Jacques for keeping a story moment a story moment rather than making a big deal over what's not all that big a deal.

* finally, here's a super-fun Saul Steinberg article, about re-assembling a lost work.
