Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* in case you missed it, TCAF Director Chris Butcher responded to Sunday's TCAF 2013 report here, and cartoonist/former con organizer Dustin Harbin added commentary here.

* Chris Marshall talks to Fred Pierce and Hunter Gorinson. Ryan Ingram talks to Graham Chaffee. Some nice person talks to that good man Pat Moriarity. Josie Campbell talks to Geoff Johns.

* not comics: hey, I suppose congratulations are due Keri Butler and Gabe Fowler.

* DC's co-op advertising plans have long seemed like a pretty good deal... I've always thought there was a good son/favorite son thing with DC and Marvel and the shops with DC doing all of these responsible things so that shop owners can then spend the money saved on carrying more Marvel titles. This isn't backed by anything except a wild hunch and cynical nature, however. Anyway, I'm glad DC does that for the shops that can use that kind of thing.

* not comics but also comics: Cracked points out some of the uglier truths underlying basic superhero stories.

* Jennifer Cheng on Fatale #14.

* a commenter on Graeme McMillan's blogging efforts for Newsarama comes close to articulating a universal truth of comics blogging.

* finally, Tom Bondurant takes the time in his solicits report to kind of take the temperature of modern Legion Of Super-Heroes fandom, one of the most celebrated and oddly impotent in terms of hit-making ability of all the superhero comics fandoms.
