Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I hope all of Laura Knetzger's days this week are better than this one.

image* Alex Hoffman on Angel Of A Rope. Robert Boyd on Crawl Space. Douglas Wolk on a bunch of stuff.

* Charlie Jane Anders writes about Wonder Woman comic books. I came to comic books from fantasy prose so Wonder Woman was my favorite when I was very young. She had the best stuff, and the coolest friends. I don't identify with characters the way a lot of people do but the characters I usually did identify with in some fashion were female characters. This isn't remarkable in any way, it's just that Wonder Woman's so obviously a really good character, totally in the pantheon, and there a lot of fine characters in comics that are female characters, and that we treat anyone's identification or joy or pleasure with those comics as this oddball thing is terrible and hopefully ends.

* Lynda Barry on appearing as a character in Family Circus. Great week for her.

* finally, Rina Ayuyang talks to Eric Haven, while Alex Wong talks to Guy Delisle.
