Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* The Foxing Quarterly has announced fall prizes, including one in comics.

image* Jonathan Baylis on Cartoon College. Justin Giampaoli on Star Wars #6. Grant Goggans on Nikolai Dante: Sympathy For The Devil. Kaitlyn on Wayward Girls #1-2. Hannah Means-Shannon on Fashion Beast #1-10.

* Joe Gross reminds that Superman doesn't have to be boring. Speaking of Superman, Tom Scioli reviews the new movie in stream-of-consciousness fashion.

* I have no idea what the hell is going on here, but I have to admit I'm dopey enough to be enamored of the idea of pop-up shops. I will likely deny this in five years' time. Wait, Steve Morris found the graphic that explains everything. Hey, that's nice.

* there are a few nice photos of comics pros squirreled away in this flickr set.

* Brigid Alverson talks to Lucy Knisley. JK Parkin talks to Ryan Claytor.

* missed this piece on comics to read on Bloomsday.

* if I'm reading this article correctly -- I'm not reading it really closely -- then the comic in question has sold over two million copies?

* I quite enjoyed this more modest edition of the Robot 6 feature "Shelf Porn."

* whoa, Richard Sala.

* congratulations to the writer Mark Millar for the national honor he received, as described here.

* here are a bunch of court cases from the comics -- and I guess cartoons -- involving superhero characters.

* finally, I'm not certain I've seen "The Beckett/Bushmiller Letters" on-line before, although I guess I could be wrong.
