Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* that is one ugly ad.

image* this Al Columbia interview at Comics Comics as the dozens of sites linking into it before me have told you. It's interesting to me that an initial reaction is that it's a hoax, which just never would have occured to me.

* from the comments thread of that post comes a link to this fascinating article on empty studios.

* this sounds like an interesting-enough site, although I'm not at the point right this moment where I can take the time to trace anything.

* if you're going to have a review site with a bunch of contributors and nobody seems to contribute anything very frequently, it's good when your infrequent contributions come from Abhay Khosla and Joe McCulloch. Speaking of reviews, Curt Purcell concludes his series of posts on Blackest Night.

* not comics: I have no idea why this is news. It's not even all that great a licensing story.

* I already hate this show more than Starlight Express.

* I might even pay to watch the Joker kill a bunch of Insane Clown Posse fans.

* finally, I'm not one to pay a lot of attention to link heritage, because 95 percent of the time the complaints fail to take into account we all look at the same stuff. I'm sure I'll be posting a link to Joe Quesada's interview from yesterday and a lot of other people will, too, and if someone finds it the tab opened to my site before the tab that opens to the Cup Of Joe stuff it's no skin off my back. But as sore as people get about that kind of thing it's pretty funny to see all the big sites and twitterers that just happened to run across that 2008 Marvel black light poster flickr set a few days after it ran as a Friday Distraction here. You're all welcome.
