Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* TCAF 2013 has dates: May 11 and May 12.

* Matt Seneca on Wayward Girls. David Brothers on Star*Reach Classics #1. Rob Clough on The Wrong Place. Philip Shropshire on Prophet #25. Greg McElhatton on Double Barrel #1. Ng Suat Tong on The House On The Borderland. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Green Lantern Corps: Revolt Of The Alpha-Lanterns. Johanna Draper Carlson on a variety of comics. Greg McElhatton on Saga #4. Jeet Heer on Cruisin' With The Hound.

* Domingos Isabelinho went to the Oslo Comics Expo.

* I quite liked Heidi MacDonald's tribute to Life In Hell. Here's LA Observed, USA Today and one of the NYT blogs. I'm confused by this analysis -- it's not like Groening shut it down because it wasn't making with the cash. Heidi unpacks that notion a bit here; hey, maybe it was the cash. Everybody likes to feel their work has value.

* Kim Jarvis talks to Joe Quesada. Vaneta Rogers talks to Robert Kirkman. Jim Rugg and Jasen Lex talk to Box Brown.

* Johanna Draper Carlson provides advice on how to pursue a kickstarter campaign from her point of view as a consumer and potential donor. My advice to get me to donate to a Kickstarter campaign is to be related to me or provide a premium so awesome and not available anywhere else it's worth the risk of giving you money without knowing if I'm going to get it back or not. Basically, though, I'm a buy-something-well-after-it's-out guy, usually via the act of placing my hands on it and exchanging money with a person. Even Amazon.com makes me nervous. Seth Godin, who probably has no problem ordering stuff he hasn't seen yet, talks about tribes and stuff.

* the CBLDF will be offering a new, cute t-shirt starting this weekend.

* it's bad enough that Bully's mind works like this. It's worse that he has access to all that material to scan. I have a hard enough time finding a cover when my text calls for a specific cover.

* I like that future Riverdale visitor George Takei has assumed control of the phrase "Oh My" just by saying it in that funny way for a long time and the culture just deciding he should have it.

* ICv2.com follows up on news of a massive-selling issue #100 for Walking Dead by reporting that retailers to whom they spoke have sold their regular customers for the Robert Kirkman/Charlie Adlard zombie series on buying sets featuring all the covers.

* who wouldn't want to have a drink with Jim Rugg after putting eyes on this photo?

* wish I were in Charlotte. Lot of good comics there, too.

* finally, a sneak peek of Pippi Moves In.
