Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* missed this article from Paul Gravett about a big BD original art sale from Sotheby's, but it's still fun to read now.

image* Sean Gaffney on Servamp Vol. 1. Abhay Khosla on why he hasn't read The Shadow Hero.

* not comics: this article is mostly about Spider-Man as a license getting a boost for the character being returned to the Marvel Studios people for his movies but it's also a general reminder that the movies and the hype machine that surrounds movie culture has a real-world impact.

* Tom Brevoort uses a Stan Lee soapbox to answer an anonymous missive directed to him about the nature of bigotry.

* hey, look: it's BellCAF.

* I thought this was the case for Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane as gone-but-not-forgotten comic work re-exploring, but the comparison made here between it and Gotham Central seems to be about recasting a universe according to the perspective of a supporting character -- which, while true, is a bit drier than what I was originally thinking. It can be both, but I've never read the Marvel series.

* finally, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum is starting a graphic novel reading group, and it will have its first session at the end of the month.
