Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Sean Kleefeld writes about the new Superman logo unveiled DC Entertainment or whatever gathering together of Warner Brothers assets did that.

* Cory Doctorow on the latest edition of Watchmen. Rob Clough on a bunch of different mini-comics. Todd Klein on Swamp Thing #20. Don MacPherson on various comics. Johanna Draper Carlson on the Tamara Drewe movie. Grant Goggans on Dandridge: The Copper Conspiracy. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Supermag and Gambit Vol. 1.

* Katie Skelly redraws a page of Mod Wheels.

* I thought this article on the Kindle Worlds effort fairly interesting but kind of fundamentally wrong-headed. You worry when a specific platforms is taken over by a new corporate owner because a new corporate owner can put that platform and what works about it at risk. I'm not sure you can worry about the world of fan fiction when someone tries to monetize it, because having an effect on the entirety of that enterprise is far out of the reach of the person trying out the new avenue for profiting from it. At least that's how I see it. I have to imagine that there are some people that will want to make money from their efforts writing about other people's characters, and other folks that will want nothing to do with it or simply won't have the skill set to appeal to the people providing that service.

* finally, Erica Friedman talks to Takemiya Jin.
