Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the reviewer Lori Henderson takes a look at manga you can plug into a Memorial Day-related piece, which is way beyond any agility I have with manga. Also, Bully uses an issue of Thor to explore the same holiday, which is way beyond any agility I have with old issues of Thor.

* blogger prime Neilalien, noted expert on all things Stephen Strange, writes a long and very detailed review of the recent Strange mini-series. That thing looked almost unreadable to me. I don't know why they can't get Doctor Strange over except for the fact that it seems like from the top down they don't really value the character.

* Kelly Thompson and Hope Larson talk about Larson's recent writings on women reading comics. There's a line in there about a tour Larson was planning and why it didn't work that's pretty amazing.

* Marc-Oliver Frisch argues ten inherent, unique capabilities of the superhero genre.

* I don't care, as long as it's whatever they want to happen.

* the five-skill writer-about-comics Paul Gravett talks AX.

* not comics: Michael Cieply writes about Warner Brothers' current attitude towards the rest of its comics properties as films.

* not comics: I'm not exactly very smart when it comes to the film business, but I think we may be in for a disappointing box office summer in a way that will distress and discombobulate that business. I don't have all that much confidence in Toy Story 3, and I don't see any potential saviors out there. I'm probably wrong, but things could get interesting in that field.

* finally, the writer Sean Collins suggests a sameness to the superhero plotting of Jeph Loeb.
