Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on Wonder Woman #13.

* David Carter's sales approximates for Image Comics at The Beat are a fun read. I don't know what to make of the Walking Dead 25-cent issue popping like that. Sure it's cheap, but I'm not sure who isn't reading that comic who would want to. I'm not suggesting that as a counter-reality, I'm mentioning it because I'm clearly wrong but it's a way the Direct Market functions I can't figure out. Mostly, though, it's some of the book by book stuff that's most interesting, which series seem clearly profitable and which maybe aren't. You always have to be careful inferring too much, though.

* go, look: Easter Egg visual puzzlers.

* by request extra: this Weird Al-related comic looks well on its way, but some of you might want to get on board.

* if you have chance to make it happen, go see Ed Koren before a live audience. Very strong cartoonist and a delightful man.

* finally: Kate Wills profiles Angelica Hicks. Chloe Veltman profiles Lisa Benson.
