Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Avatar Press had a bunch of con set-up material in a trailer stolen. I hope they recover some of it.

* just because I haven't been checking in on Chris Wright as much as I did at one time, that doesn't indicate an absence of things being posted to his site.

* Jonathan Liu on Pogo Vol. 1. Mike Sebastian on various new releases. Richard Bruton on Phoenix #12 and 2000AD Prog 1775. Jason Thompson on Hellsing, Pretty Face, Golgo 13 and Disappearance Diary. Erica Friedman on Comic Beam. Carlo Santos on 20th Century Boys. Greg McElhatton on Baby's In Black. Johanna Draper Carlson on Summit Of The Gods Vol. 2. Tucker Stone on a bunch of comics. Grant Goggans on The ABC Warriors: The Volgan War Vol. 1.

* on Green Arrow being named Green Arrow.

* not comics: here's a gallery of Ted Withers' pin-up art.

* Ed Sizemore uses Jiro Taniguchi as a springboard for a discussion on manga and its definitions.

* this blog post on the Avengers movie and Jack Kirby's relative lack of credit confuses me because I see this line of reasoning fairly often and I don't know anyone that supports Jack Kirby receiving more credit for his creative accomplishments has ever said or would ever say other creators don't deserve credit. Further, giving Jack Kirby credit for what Jack Kirby did in no way means that these other artists suffer. I think it's a total non-issue, I think the logic behind it is a weird outgrowth of Internet culture and I think the only thing the kind of argument serves is the people that are receiving millions of dollars to retire on and lavish praise by their peers and in the press that had very little to do with the creation of anything.

* Jim Rugg's very funny poster has apparently annoyed a Pittsburgh-area retailer.

* Carla Hoffman apologizes to digital comics.

* I always liked that so much energy for about 25 years there with the Superman comics was coming up with clever solutions for story-related problems, like some sort of kids' book series where you'd flip to the back and pretend you got the answer, too.

* Chris Arrant talks to Mike Deodato, Jr. Derik A Badman profiles Jaime Hernandez. Steffen Rayburn Maarup talks to Matthias Wivel. Matt Emery talks to Claire Harris. David Brothers on some things he likes about Frank Miller.

* finally, a sea-stories related creator link-a-rama.
