Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on So I'm A Spider, So What? Vol. 5.

* Hussein Al-Wasiti talks to Jason Aaron.

* this list of comics industry job openings intrigues on a lot of levels. Surely gone are the days -- despite there being plenty of "comics people" out of work -- where comics jobs are going to be automatically filled by longtime industry folks. I thought this shift would be beneficial, in that an infusion of talent with DC moving to California would bring in a bunch of differently minded people. At this point I have to wait until one of these waves of hires knocks it out of the park. There's opportunity there, for sure. The Marvel and DC position are fingers-in-a-lot-of-company-pies type position, while the publicity gig at Random House should be at the center of that company, whose editorial director is an ex PR guru. A high degree of risk comes with that responsibility, too, as there's always a chance that accounting strategies could -- not likely, but could -- make any of these positions the last in an era.

* finally: Rick Kogan hangs out with Monte Beauchamp.
