Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Frank Santoro buys comics, $1 a pop.

image* Grant Goggans on Zenith Phase Three. Matt Little on The Fox #1.

* not comics: I thought these were some practical tips that some of peers might be able to use.

* OTBP: Gillis.

* not comics: a few of you sent me a link to this piece, about the futility of social-media based, self-directed marketing. I think there are some good points in there, particularly in that it's very difficult to find a toehold on any platform unless you time it right (very few of the successful ones ever admit this) and you're suited to the particular culture that surrounds that platform. Right now it seems like the best you can do even with tons of followers is put something out there and hope it triggers something that gets it moving.

* stories like this make me deeply uncomfortable I think in part because I grew compartmentalizing my media consumption from the rest of my life, so to find people not doing that is always an astonishing thing.

* Brett White talks to G. Willow Wilson. Bart Croonenborghs talks to Bastien Vivès.

* not comics: this is the first poem I've seen inspired by game culture turmoil.

* finally, that's a lovely Daredevil sketch.
