Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Johanna Draper Carlson says that advocacy group Friends Of Lulu has had its tax-exempt status revoked going back to 2010, in a story she's pretty much owned beginning to end.

image* the cartoonist Kevin Huizenga has posted the cover image to his Ganges #4.

* there's a reasonable amount of Kirby stuff posted here at CR, but Bully is really good at presenting the King's artwork on-line and this post is no exception.

* this probably deserves its own post, but it's going to get a link here and in next week's "Festival" column instead, mostly because of the threat of rolling blackouts for the next couple of days due to the Arizona wildfires has me trying to put up this Friday "random" as quickly as possible: Chris Butcher gives us the official post-TCAF post, including news that it was a record-breaking show and that next year's event will by May 5-6. I adored attending this year's show, and hope to attend the next one.

* now that's a headline that makes you put a link to an article up on your blog so you can revisit it tomorrow morning.

* Fred Pierce and Warren Simons are two key members of the new Team Valiant.

* the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates follows up his New York Times Op-Ed piece on the new X-Men movie with a lot more in the way of general thoughts about the mutant superteam: here.

* that's an odd-looking promotional item.

* finally, it's nice to see Jeff Lemire have such a nice week.
