Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* John Seven on Lou.

* here's an interesting article that somehow ties into the rolling, Captain America inspired re-argument of primary creative culture principles. It's an interesting idea to consider, the underlying thought that there's a hostility towards genre work that appeals to women, including fan fiction that corrects and/or builds upon what is sometimes rigidly conceived material. I love fan fiction; somehow that particular kind of pushback escaped me.

* not comics: Box Brown draws Vince McMahon. Now there's a biographical subject.

* nice crowd for a Zunar-related event in Australia. I have to admit, the notion that Malaysian authorities might use Zunar's popularity overseas because of his status as a free speech cause to push a point that his work is politically disruptive in a seditious way makes me nervous as hell. Pissed, too.

* Kazu Kibuishi: we will get an eighth and ninth volume of Amulet, and then no more. They're both in production.

* not comics: it's pretty standard show business news when prospective TV shows add writers as they head into production, but I've always thought the idea that certain properties like that become viable because a bunch of writers want to write scripts for it a concept that will eventually define a chunk of commercial comic book production. In other words, imagine if a superhero line revamp were driven by the built-up pressure of creators wanting to do one rather than an editorial edict.

* finally, Bill Griffith participates over at the 10 rules site.
