Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Isha Bhattacharya talks to Nicole Marie Burton. John Adcock talks to Ron Ferdinand.

* not comics: this succinct NYT article on the rhetorical judo that Netflix in announcing their decision to cancel the virtuous but asserted-to-be-low-rated One Day At A Time is interesting to note. We're at a high point for maximizing profit in all facets of every commercial endeavor but also for valuing the virtue of decisions of support that are much more difficult to quantify. Comics will have to deal with this as well on more occasions, with the same construction of logic that a single line of licensing for Guardians Of The Galaxy could probably pay for two dozen low-selling but admirable comic books.

* finally: Barry Pearl on Empire Of Monsters.
