* I've been intending to find a way to call special attention to this Steven Heller profile of and interview with Elham Atayi. Its own starred section in this random news will hopefully do. It's really interesting.
* a student editor and a non-student editor write about the decision to run images of Muhammed related to the Charlie Hebdo story. That's a tough decision.
* Mike Dawson talks to Zack Soto about Kingdom Come.
* Ron Marz writes about the DC offices closing up. I only ever visited them in New York three times. There was a curious energy there the first time I got a tour, enough so that even some of the people I was visiting asked me about it. I got to meet Archie Goodwin there. I hope everyone has landed well.
* I'm enough to the side of mainstream comics anymore I thought there might have been 250 consecutively numbered Deadpool comics.
