Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on Astro City #19. Johanna Draper Carlson on Gronk: A Monster's Story. Richard Bruton on The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Nemo: River Of Ghosts.

* go, look: Jim Rugg draws from ET: The Extra-Terrestrial.

* Chris Bechtloff talks to Erik Larsen. Paul Gravett profiles Malcy Duff and Ken Niimura. Team Biff Bam Bop! (I think) talks to Bryan JL Glass. Gary Tyrrell talks to Holly Rowland about the forthcoming con to be run by Topatoco. That could be a giant on the calendar. Shawn Starr talks to Raighne Hogan.

* Michael Cavna looks at a recent deal struck by Valiant and how that should greatly benefit their publishing efforts. He also looks at the superheroes-oriented episode of The Nightly Show.

* surprise guest teacher Scott McCloud.

* Mark Evanier reminds that Tuesday morning is the hotel sign-up period for attendees of Comic-Con International. That is something that has changed very, very much over they years. Most of my advice is outdated. For instance, there was period where every browser but Explorer was causing those using them to be delayed. I can't imagine that's true now -- and in fact, I remember the one person who benefited from my advice and that person probably hasn't found their own hotel room in seven years. I recommend getting as many in your party as are going to try and sign up. I recommend researching and having hotels picked out on a list before the registration period. I recommend starting about five minutes early. I recommend prayer.

* not comics: damn, indeed.

* finally, I quite like this image of the Incredible Hulk.
