Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Top Shelf scoring a Bill Clinton pull quote for its forthcoming John Lewis book is a notable get.

* Todd Klein on Legion Of Super-Heroes #19 and World's Finest #12. Rob Clough on a bunch of different comics. Don MacPherson on Green Lantern #20. That's an even stranger comic book if you read the written tributes interspersed throughout as part of the funnybook narrative. Justin Giampaoli on X-Men #1. Johanna Draper Carlson on Mrs. Weber's Omnibus. Grant Goggans on Judge Dredd -- Day Of Chaos: The Fourth Faction. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Avengers Assemble.

* a two-week hiatus for One Piece, notable because it's One Piece and because of the thought that anyone would notice a two-week hiatus on a North American comic of any kind is fairly hilarious.

* yeah, they should be able to move some of these.

* David King is having a garage sale. I like that David King; I think he's a criminally under-appreciated cartoonist. We should all go and try to appreciate his garage sale items. It's the least we can do.

* Kevin Maguire and Valiant are now cool.

* Gabe Roth has the comic shop blues.

* Michael Cavna talks to Reuben winner Brian Crane. I have almost no experience reading Pickles, Crane's strip, and at some point I'll have to rectify that. Steve Sunu talks to Rick Remender. Susan L. Rife profiles Nick Cardy.

* Brandon Graham tells it like it is.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco makes the very astute point that the Invincible Iron Man series is the rare Marvel effort that kind of works as the comic book go-to for the Iron Man films.

* finally, here's Bhob Stewart with the full text of an historical article he wrote about the lettering used in EC Comics.
