Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I hadn't thought about this before, but it makes perfect sense: one way to potentially jam up a crowd-funded project is to pledge a bunch of money from a bogus account that doesn't come through. People who might back the project if it weren't meeting its goals might commit elsewhere. People are randomly and severely assholes these days. The pettiness involved in doing something like that is astonishing.

* Henry Chamberlain on The Completely Unfabulous Social Life Of Ethan Green. Doug Zawisza on Ant-Man #4. David Press on Zero Vol. 1.

* congratulations to Mark Smylie, the creator behind Artesia and the founder of the publishing house Archaia, for finding room in his life to return to primarily creative pursuits. We should all be as lucky.

* go, read: a Peter Bagge Star Wars one-pager.

* it's great to hear that Roger Langridge is working on a long-form Fred The Clown story. It's also great to learn that he refers to the character as "old Idiot Pants."

* the straight-forward nature of this headline cracked me up. It seems to be working for them. I suppose there's an argument to be made that if you set a not-exactly-hopeful baseline than the thrust of your shared univers can be about the actions of the characters pushing against this grim reality. I'm not sure why people love depressing superhero comics, but they certainly do.

* finally, birds in the home.
