Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* this event with JC Menu and Bill Kartalopoulos looks really good.

* Sean Gaffney on A Certain Scientific Railgun Vol. 10. Wim Lockefeer on La Grosse Tete.

* not comics: Warren Ellis on the Mad Max films. Ellis always ends his essay on a really good line. I imagine him typing a sentence like that, pushing back from the table while lifting his hands, and then a bottle of booze and an appropriate glass fly into them: "Wap!" "Wap!"

* I am not sure what the promise being kept in this post concerns, but I'm glad the promise was kept. That should give you some of you at least one or two names with which to go exploring.

* don't think I've ever seen these Tom Sutton psychedelic pages before.

* The Beguiling's original art sales service has added Kate Beaton as a client. I bet those are really cool-looking as original art; we already know about their high quality as comics. They do some mail-order, but they also have that big store and they also sell work at Comic-Con, if seeing leads to believing.

* there was for a while a significant compulsion for artists to do Mad Men art. Someone told me at the time that they thought it was because the cast looked like superheroes in civilian clothing -- they were that handsome and put together so well. I'm grateful when a popular television show ends because I always think of all those people have a work/life highlight working on it, now going their separate ways and in many cases properly rewarded for the time put in.

* not comics: I couldn't wear it in a thousand years, but you might like this sweatshirt Sam Alden is sporting.

* not comics: the idea that fan input is limited in its effectiveness and almost entirely dependent on untrustworthy, immediate context is an appealing one.

* finally, I'm not usually a fan of extreme stylistic re-dos, but I thought this one looked pretty great.
