Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* when I was a kid, I really hated the design of teen-aged Bam-Bam, and I was upset he lost his super-strength. Just sayin'.

* I can't quite figure out the nature of this apparent roundtable with Fantastic Four creators about the property, but I imagine no matter where it came from or how it was done it'd be of interest to someone out there.

* usually an objection to an editorial cartoon is a full post, but for some reason this one just made my stomach hurt so that I had to go lie down.

* the writer Sean Collins found all the strips and comics art Kevin Huizenga has put on-line over the years and pretty much pooped himself.

* after this week, cancel your San Diego Con hotel, eat that whole one-day deposit.

* the writer David Brothers talks race and comics. I don't really have a firm opinion on this beyond my already oft-stated desire that mainstream comics companies take matter-of-fact notice of their traditional whitebread qualities, recognize the unique value of any character of color that gains any sort of traction due to the kind of identification they're begging readers to have, and then make informed creative decisions according to their best, long-term advantage. I don't think it's so bad if there has to be a few more minutes of deep and sometimes difficult thought on these matters, just as I trust people over the long haul to make the right decisions once all factors are considered.

* finally, 10 webcomics she loves.
