* Sean Witzke writes about the DC re-launch. I disagree with a lot of what he argues, but it's the most articulate presentation of its basic stance we're likely to see. The writer James Vance comments briefly on the "war" titles here. Don MacPherson analyzes a new Marvel announcement in light of DC's moves, which isn't a mode of analysis I thought we'd see quite yet.
* not comics: intriguing post by Jillian Tamaki about the public art aspect of certain kinds of commercial illustration, and how an artist might orient themselves towards that kind of material.
* congratulations to Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson for seeing their fun Beasts Of Burden series sold to some Hollywood folks for adaptation purposes.
