Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Gary Zidek talks to Jessica Campbell.

* not comics: Laura Hudson on Ready Player One and how its fantasy of the Internet as a safe, free place really works. I'm glad I'm old and missed any mention of the book and barely heard of the movie. I was a kid in the 1980s in the whitest, most cornfed suburban high school and even our relationships to pop culture were way more complicated and interesting than using its broadest elements as badges of imagined glory.

* I am pro new Nancy, although I get that it breaks sharply with any traditional values of Nancy and works differently, and I find legacy strips kind of gross as a general rule. I wish all the strips still produced like that were as odd yet immediately graspable. Also: I suspect that no one knowing the creator means that they are young, or are coming at this sideways from another career/pursuit, or both. Give them time.

* finally: how things are.
