Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* do you even need to read the comments on something like this to know what they're like? I think the weirdest thing at this point is how many people get worked up about the kind of objection Alan Moore is making in a way that suggests they feel they have some sort of significant -- or even equal -- interest in perpetrating their consumption habits exactly the way they'd prefer to maintain them as he does reacting to what he perceives as a cycle of abuse over a quarter century of his professional life. It seems to me like there's enough material out there to enjoy that doesn't involve an aggrieved creator. I guess some folks disagree with that notion, though.

* this link opens up a PDF version of Nick Offerman's Seventy, Never Sixty-Five. Free comics!

* someone at the charity Nerdyshirts talks to Dean Haspiel about his involvement with that group. Andy Burns talks to Chris Ryall and Tom Waltz.

* for no particular reason, here's Hergé and Andy Warhol (via Devlin Thompson). If that's not random enough for you, how about a Red Sonja 45 RPM slipcase? (via John Firehammer)

* Jeff Flowers would like for this site to mention a forthcoming Marada The She-Wolf collection. And now it has. Thanks, Jeff.

* check out this super lovely-looking page from James Sturm. It's apparently a comic about aging. Christian Maiwald sent in that link.

* here's an international silent-comics competition.

* I totally missed Marc Goldberg being named Chief Technology Officer at comiXology. Is that a thing that companies have? That sounds like something from Star Trek. I'm sure this specific position is very real, though. That seems like a successful company to me.

* finally, Steve Lafler sent along a note that Dog Boy #5 has started free serialization. I'm not totally sure why all of this out-of-print alt/indy material isn't available for digital download right now; it seems like that's a business opportunity for someone. Not a great business opportunity, mind you, but very few of those available in comics are.
