Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* joint press release yesterday from comiXology and the CBLDF that the former has joined the latter as a corporate member. That's good news all around: the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund can use all the support it can muster, and it's nice to see comiXology become an active participant in various aspects of current comics culture.

image* someone at the Winston Salem-Journal talks to Frank King. Alex Thomas talks to Russell Willis.

* Tucker Stone reviews a bunch of comics. Michael Dooley powers through some of the Graphics Classics.

* here's something I totally missed: a nice bunch of photos from a nice event: a Gone To Amerikay launch party. I don't do enough with the nice events, really.

* there was very, very little in terms of major media coverage of the Kirby and other creators aspect of the Avengers film; one noted exception was Chris Mautner's opinion piece in his region's biggest newspaper on why he's skipping the movie.

* the photographer Seth Kushner talks about rights in the digital age in an on-line essay here.

* speaking of photos, Peggy Burns is right: this D+Q FCBD report featuring various cherubic comics readers is indeed adorable.

* finally, Caitlin McGurk pulls out a handsome-looking Gordo. Then again, it's sort of impossible to find an unattractive Sunday Gordo.
