Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Warner Brothers sues Marc Toberoff.

* go, bookmark: Johnny Bacardi starts a look at what I think is the third-best book during Marvel's 1960s heyday: the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby Thor. If nothing else, he promises a lot of visuals. I don't know how I've avoided doing Volstagg for Halloween.

* not comics: Devlin Thompson sent this to me as if this is good news, and so I assume it is: Criterion will be releasing an edition of the documentary Crumb, along with another Terry Zwigoff documentary, Louie Bluie. Or has released. Or something. Man, I don't even own a DVD player. But those are good movies, especially the one about Crumb. I still think about that segment where we follow Charles' descent into creative madness.

* you're probably not in the mood to read another TCAF report, and I feel you, but this one from Sequential addresses some critical aspects regarding the show that others missed. It is an overall positive report, however.

* I can't recall every seeing any photo-driven reports about an event at the Toonseum in Pittsburgh. Here's one by Rina Ayuyang about her own recent trip to that frequently awesome city, including a stop by Copacetic Comics, one of the major ley-line hubs on the Magic of Comics Worldwide Grid.

* Steven Thompson remembers the Annie strip. Basically, he sort of remembers not reading it. I don't know; it cracked me up.

* that jerk James Sturm is still off-line where he won't be reading any insults lobbed his way. You know what's a poopy book? Down and Out Dawg Treasury Edition. I'm glad for a chance to finally say that out loud.

* Chris Butcher takes a look at a giant manga anthology from Japan. This thing looks like the NFL football season-by-season book I used to carry around as a child.

* I like the way Craig Thompson updates his blog with these information-stuffed pictures and notations.

* on the other hand, I was always 41.

* finally, I don't think I can ever recall reading an interview with Warren Miller before. Someone needs to be interviewing all of these Shawn-era New Yorker guys before they pass on.
