Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I can't imagine anything comics-related you'll read today will delight on the level of this Roz Chast interview at TCJ.com.

* Ryan Sands took a few months off after Japan's earthquake/tsunami from posting at his Same Hat! blog. It's posts like this one and this one that make me really happy he's back.

* Colin Smith talks about an Uncanny X-Men panel and how important nailing certain craft elements can be to a comics-reading experience like that one.

* the cartoonist Julia Wertz provides a sneak peek page to a longer project she's working on.

* manga-focused reviewer David P. Welsh takes a walk through the Prix Asie 2011 nominees and discusses maybe getting some of those titles into print over here.

* you have to scroll down a bit, but I liked Augie De Blieck Jr.'s genial review of the latest Lewis Trondheim autobiographical work in English, Approximate Continuum Comics. I think that kind of review captures the abundant pleasures of reading comics the way Trondheim makes them here and in the Little Nothings series, and I think there are a number of people that might enjoy them if they were to try.

* finally, I'm not quite cool enough to figure out the tone and nature of the commentary being made here, but I always like to see comics depictions of small children being hurled through the air.
