Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on Sweet Blue Flowers Omnibus Volume Three. Lynda Barry on Brazen.

* not comics: I watched that Jessica Jones 2 TV series over the weekend. Well, I had it on. It had to wait for Collateral and enough time in my grotesque work schedule of the moment for me to have enough viewing time not to forget what happened between episodes. It was a narrative mess, like a lot of these Marvel shows, particularly in that always-rich area of characters conflating length-of-time within the relative progression of a show for actual length of time. I did sort of like that everyone was a selfish asshole, though, and that characters were motivated by sex. Some funny lines in there, too, although Death Of Stalin owns 98 percent of that space in my head right now. I bet those viewers that desire a character for which to root had a tough time with this one.

* Veneta Rizvic profiles Matt Kindt. John Siuntres talks to Gerry Duggan.

* finally: I have a secret crush on Spain's lettering.
