Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* at the end of this shipping report, the retailer Brian Hibbs rips into publishers for something they routinely do, something he and I both think has limited the potential for the Direct Market for years: stacking same-appeal comic books into the same publishing week instead of scheduling them at rational intervals.

* Double Dynamite! Double Dynamite!

* various professionals answer the question, "What Is Your Favorite Al Williamson Work?"

* congratulations to high-end pop culture blogger and frequent comics enthusiast Whitney Matheson on her EPpy win for best entertainment blog.

* this long con report from Roger Langridge is a pleasure because it's a show with which I have zero familiarity: Kids Read Comics. Also, I wanted to type the sentence, "Jim Ottaviani owns an original Krazy Kat."

* Rick Veitch has announced a new poster line.

* I am very much in love with this drawing by Renee French. French posts with such regularity it's easy to take her for granted, but usually one out of every eight all-very-good postings is so good and so startling I stop to stare at it for at least the length of an elementary school lunch period.

* finally, Chris Oliveros files a short and funny report from the D+Q presence at the Printers Row event in Chicago.
