Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the mainstream American comics giant Marvel has announced one of its bigger project follow-ups to the latest Secret Invasion project: a third go at the Marvel Zombies project, where the denizens of an alternate world invade our own. Luckily, they're only attacking Florida.

* speaking of sequels to mega-successful projects, Marvel has also apparently entered into a licensing agreement with Doubleday to do a comics adaptation of Stephen King's post-apocalyptic fantasy The Stand. I really liked The Stand when I was a kid (I had the cover that looked like Spy Vs. Spy meets Luke Skywalker), although the TV adaptation kidney-punched any desire to revisit that material right out of me. It's also nice that this is announced as a straight-up adaptation and there's no futzing around in terms of phantom promises about King's potential involvement like there was at one point with Dark Tower.

* that Peter David sure can bowl.

* a lot of comics fans will probably recognize a part of themselves in this Luc Sante article about having a large collection of books. (from Gil Roth)

* that's one fancy fashion book.

* finally, Chris Butcher picks the Eisners as he'd like to see them unfold. If for nothing else, it's worth it for the Achewood strip he uses.
