Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* as has been the subject of reminders all week, any donation to the family of the late Seth Kushner will be put to good use.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco on a selection of Vertigo's comics. James Kaplan on Apocalyptigirl.

* Frederic Potet talks to Luz. Paul Gravett profiles Hervé Di Rosa and Sonny Liew.

* I don't know if this article is an accurate description of what Marvel plans after its imminent-if-not-already-started Secret Wars event, but just by existing it's an example of how the genre press will treat encountering that news. It's not... positive. Nothing that I've heard about what they're up to in a line-wide sense is appealing to me, but I'm not the target audience. I still think it's something of a risk for the traditional strong-seller, though. People turn on things now.

* his unique power is hating Mondays.

* where the "Foggy" in "Foggy Nelson" comes from. I have to admit, I didn't know that one. If asked I would have said, "Short for Fogworth" and run out of the room.

* I don't remember any articles in 2008 about the potential difficulties in caricaturing a female POTUS, but I expect a bunch of them this time around. Here's WaPo.

* finally, Jeph Jacques vs. Wal-Mart. The winner is... I can't tell, but probably not the American Worker.
