Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* not comics: this will have probably been linked to death by the time this post rolls out, but Art Spiegelman has been collaborating on a dance-based, multi-media extravaganza based on the older comics he so dearly loves.

image* the always-intriguing Matthias Wivel looks at Tintin and the lack of inquiry into comics as a sophisticated system of visuals.

* two from Devlin Thompson: grief ain't good; Tim and Spidey.

* when Jeet Heer goes to war with a book, he doesn't do it on his site, he does it on their site. That's why he's Jeet Heer. Speaking of critics battling other critics, this post lost me.

* every superhero created after I stopped reading them is a dope; every supervillain a douchebag.

* Frank Santoro with the Pittsburgh scene report. Speaking of scenes, look at all the happy comics folk.

* apparently, there's a two-minority character death minimum.

* Ted Dawson is looking for the smallest printing of a current comic strip, I think just to depress the crap out of everybody.

* finally, the writer G. Willow Wilson is profiled at Boston.com.
