Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on What Is Obscenity?

* there's probably some sort of joke to be made about Randian philosophy and the use of white-out, but mostly I just love seeing any later-period Ditko.

* more recent picks from Team Trouble With Comics. I didn't notice that they were going to split this one into three parts, so my apologies for not therefore waiting until the entire series was posted. You'll get one more link from me on this.

* here's a roundtable on the first issue of DC's DC Comics: Rebirth series, a series meant to kick off a line reboot at the venerable mainstream publisher. One thing that always strikes me as odd about these kind of "weigh in on the entire line and potential across the board" articles is that they seem to end up coming at you from the perspective of people that will be buying or paying attention to these comics no matter what, and thus the range of effect in question is whether those comics with which they're going to be engaged are either enjoyed or not enjoyed. That's not a big sweep of the needle to go from one of those groups to the other.

* Rachel Davies talks to Aidan Koch. Alex Dueben talks to Rebecca Sugar.

* by request extra: congratulations to the Cool Dog Annual Sticker Fund crowd-funder, the only comics-related crowd-funder about which anyone need know.

* finally: boy, that's a good-looking Doctor Strange on the top of Kevin Nowlan's Twitter account page.
