Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* CCS students set to graduate will hear a commencement address from Nate Powell. Nate, if you're reading, consider working on some pages while you give the commencement speech: scare the shit out of those kids.

* Joe Gordon on Mary Wept Over The Feet Of Jesus. James Kaplan on Dept. H #1.

* J Jonah Jameson, insult comic.

* the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum has added two first-year print runs of key Arab comics magazines: one from Egypt, one from Lebanon.

* Andrew Weiss on his comics habits in the 1990s, that most terrible of mainstream decades.

* bundled extra: I made a joke on twitter the other day about YouTube stars and their massive audience having comics made about them and then someone sent me this link. It make sense they'd try to do comics with these very popular video makers. I'm not immersed in that culture in a way I can tell you who's who, but they're coming. One thing that's always interesting when comics runs up against something with vastly greater numbers -- fans in the millions, not in the dozens -- is that it should allow us to recalibrate the entire industry and culture according to other values comics may have. It rarely happens.

* I guess just about any return to comics for good ol' Rom would be triumphant.

* finally: on sketchnoting.
