Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library could use some volunteer-type help on the 27th.

image* Brian Gardes on Diosamante. Todd Klein on Swamp Thing #18.

* not comics: here's a handmade animated video from Matt Silvie's friend Chris Garrison.

* Alex Dueben talks to Joelle Jones and Ann Nocenti. JK Parkin talks to Paul Cornell. Michael Cavna talks to Simon Tofield.

* not comics: I don't know if sending you there a few days after it was posted changes the offers made or the promotion discussed, but Kate Beaton endorses a Canada-centric book effort.

* go, look a pair of themed rooms.

* I guess some comics fans are upset that a movie was developed from a graphic novel that may or may not actually be an existing graphic novel? I think that's what this means. I don't know, Hollywood is so engorged with bullshit it's hard for me to settle on one thing as beyond the pale.

* finally, DC apparently introduced a transgender character into one of its comics recently. At this point it's less difficult to imagine a transgender character in a DC superhero comic book than it is to tacitly engage with a conservative baseline against which this kind of thing becomes news.
