Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Michael Cavna has a proposal for Disney.

* Pádraig Ó Méalóid pulls at one thread of the vast LOEG narrative and ends up with a pile of material up to his waist. This is one reason that I can't even conceive wanting to go near something Alan Moore wrote, or at least anything beyond the basics of a character he created.

* Peter Arno really was cooler than all the other cartoonists.

* Alex Pappademas on why Marvel's gay wedding and DC's mystery gay hero are big deals.

* aw, look at the CCS graduates.

* I tend to list openings-only, but this CAKE-related (well, somewhat) show isn't going to be open much past that opening, so maybe mark it down right now.

* I love the look of late-period Kirby-drawn Fantastic Four, and I'm grateful we live in an era where these have routinely dropped under $5 (in good to fine condition, even) that I can buy them when I see them. The structure of the stories tends to be a lot more simplistic but the pages themselves are frequently beautiful.

* Rob Clough on a bunch of genre comics. Dan Morrill on FLCL Omnibus. Greg McElhatton on Bloody Chester. Don MacPherson on Batman, Inc. #1. Ben on Goliath. Corey Blake on three new comics.

* Christopher Bird responds to criticism of the tone of his piece critical of Scott Kurtz's arguments surrounding the Jack Kirby Estate and the material rewards of the Avengers movie. (Basically, it's a defense of sometimes responding to an extreme point of view with extreme flourishes of rhetoric.)

* well, somebody had to make this joke.

* finally, Charles Reece doesn't like Wonder Woman.
