Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* new TCJ in full effect: Ken Parille interviews Ivan Brunetti about his new book.

* Greg Burgas argues for formal audacity in mainstream comic books. Tons of art samples.

* this seems like a potentially fascinating avenue for a popular newspaper strip to explore, at least for the novelty of not being able to remember any move quite like it.

* Boom! has apparently stopped soliciting its Disney titles.

* a Ben Grimm Passover Special. "Let my people go, ya mook" is a lot of fun to say out loud.

* I'm enough of a nerd to look at this humorous drawing of Wolverine at airport security and remember that those X-Men books in the late '70s and into the early '80s were some of the last to figure travel time into their plots. I liked that when I was a kid, and when I was an older kid reading the same books and Marvel's mutants got their own instant-travel mechanism I remember being disappointed.

* I know, I know. But hey, it's my blog.

* Pascal Girard's daily diary at TCJ looks like it will be a lot of fun. The first episode is.

* Abhay Khosla on The Sixth Gun.

* finally, there was a setback in the latest reorganization plan submitted by Borders, this time in the form of having a plan to retain executives rejected by a judge. Apparently, the trustee didn't support the plan, either. I can imagine there's some case to be made that money to retain executives is a necessary thing, but I can't imagine anyone making that case to anyone who isn't standing there with their arms crossed ready to pounce on any perceived weakness in that argument. The article suggests that it may be this general lack of faith in the reorganization that will doom the company, and it's difficult not to give that notion some credence.
