Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the comics news site Newsarama talks to James Turner about Warlord Of IO and the decision by Diamond not to carry it past the issue #0 special. The killer line is "I didn't think it'd be in danger of cancellation until issue 2, so it was a bit of a shock." Oh, comics.

* the writer Scott Edelman shares a pair of 1970s memos regarding reprint payments, and gives comics historians assembled a heads up that he kept all of his memos from those days.

* you should go vote in David Welsh's Eisner/Manga straw poll.

* a couple of you e-mailed me this piece about a comics shop in Roanoke closing. I'm glad to hear there's a comic shop that's remaining open to take their business. I went to school in that area of the country, and at least back then it wasn't exactly stuffed with Direct Market shops.

* not comics: I quite liked this post by Neil Gaiman on fan entitlement, although the fan writing in served up one heck of a softball there.

* finally, Jeet Heer describes his review of Guy Delisle's Burma Chronicles as "substantial," and that works. It's also good. I agree with Heer that Burma Chronicles is the author's best book.
