Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Michael May
revisits some of the recent not-comics links on paying creators that you may have seen here and adds a few of his own, as well as his own take on the subject. I think all of this asking of questions is super-healthy; if you're only making a modest amount and you're paying a modest amount, I can't see that there's any harm in the subject being explored. In theory and in practical, historical terms, there are reasons that creators may work for free -- but none of those reasons is "because sometimes people work for free."
* that very same Michael May pores over
Lookouts. Johanna Draper Carlson on
Superzelda,
Message To Adolf Vol. 2 and
Lizzie Newton: Victorian Mysteries Vol. 2. Henry Chamberlain on
Action Comics #18. Paul O'Brien on
a bunch of X-Men comics. Kelly Thompson on
Fearless Defenders #2. Sean T. Collins on "
His Face All Red."
*
I like this Spider-Man cartoon.
* not comics: Moleskine
opens up a US store. There will be some drawing on some of those pieces of paper that are to be found in that store.
* Ryan Burton talks to
Patrick McEown. Padraig O Mealoid talks to
Eddie Campbell. Bill Baker talks to
Manuel Auad.
*
HeroesCon needs volunteers.
* Johanna Draper Carlson
notes Entertainment Weekly's cursory coverage of the Orson Scott Card writing Superman controversy at DC Comics.
* there are so many things to buy that aren't exactly comics, like
one of these prints, or
this print specifically or
this t-shirt.
* don't really know why there are three Thors
here -- I would assume time travel, but it could also just be a fanciful picture united by the fact that it's the same dude -- but I liked this picture. Thor should be full of pretty pictures like this, like an endless series of never-before-seen heavy metal album covers.
* RW Watkins
teases the early
Spider-Man out of
Blue Velvet.
* finally,
Laura Park is the best.
