Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* substantive reading of the day:
two posts from Gary Tyrrell about a presentation at the NCS meetings last weekend where people talked nuts and bolts of how to make a living as a cartoonist right now.
* Greg McElhatton on
Mind MGMT #1. Sean Gaffney on
A Certain Scientific Railgun Vol. 4. J. Caleb Mozzocco on
Star Wars: Darth Vader And The Lost Command. Johanna Draper Carlson on a bunch of different comics and
Dance Class Vols. 1-2. Sonia Harris on
X-Statix Omnibus. Ken Parille on
Are You My Mother? Sean Rogers on
Nancy Is Happy.
*
Kurt Busiek on Why Batman Is Not Green Lantern.
* Alan Gardner
points out through dramatic example that the Team Cul De Sac auction could use your attention.
* if you're reading this, you still have time to get ready and buy one of the few remaining Comic-Con International badges,
going on sale today. I think I said in the
CR guide that this had already happened. My sincere apologies.
* Toth. Toth, Toth, Toth, Toth, Toth.
Toth.
* I've made some printing errors when I've worked at publishing companies, but I've never made a
Holocaust Printing Error.
* I love the way Jack Kirby's Scott Free
looked. I don't think any comics character has looked like that ever again, and it's not like it's an unfamiliar look if you wander around some small town somewhere.
*
Jordan Hurder on the Building Stories book design.
* Michelle Ollie talks to
Blaise Larmee. Shaun Manning talks to
Nicolas Mahler.
*
Matt Bors notes one weird-ass depiction of a Syrian child.
* Evan Dorkin
writes about his work on the
Predator franchise. Well, of course he does.
* finally, the writer Warren Ellis
muses on the shape of long-form webcomics. I find it interesting we're still having very basic conversations like this several years in, and I don't mean that to antagonize: I'm one of the people responsible for directing comics conversations, after all.
