Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Alex Hoffman on Megg & Mogg In Amsterdam. Tom Murphy on Carpet Sweeper Tales. Svetlana Fedotov on She-Wolf #1. Jannon Calloway on She-Wolf #1. James Whitbrook on Hellboy In Hell #10. James Kaplan on The Revisionist #1.

* Mike Sterling at length on Legion Of Super-Heroes. The conventional wisdom on that title is that its most fervent fans have hugged it to death, but I always wondered if that title suffered the same way that Fantastic Four, by just maybe exhausting its appeal after 50 years or so. That's not a bad run, you know.

* here's a shot of Dean Mullaney's work station.

* the writer Ed Brubaker's newsletter has a preview of his forthcoming next work with Sean Phillips and a long, thoughtful response to being dragged into the Internet brouhaha about Captain America, a corporate-owned characters with which he's had nothing to do for a half-decade or more. I'm sure for some people this is the wrong way to reply; that's where we are right now.

* Anthony Spataro talks to Steve Lieber. Brian Cronin writes in praise of Javier Garron's artwork.

* David Betancourt provides a fan-friendly preview of Marvel's summer event, if that's something you track.

* Scott Cederlund digs into the first Superman comic of the post-Rebirth editorial initiative. Whenever DC makes their comics about telling you how great their characters are, they tend to be in trouble. A superhero-loving friend of mine and I were chatting via text about the last Superman story that got people talking, the last moment, and except for some stuff in All Star Superman, they were all plot points from years and years ago. Even that title wis a full decade in the rearview mirror now.

* comics superstar Ed Piskor draws various teams of Marvel's X-Men franchise. Bless his heart for drawing the Werner Roth-era mutant team, the one that I remember buying up in the late 1970s at an astonishing-to-my-friends $2 a pop.

* finally, you really don't need any twitter icons except for the icons supplied here.
