Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* Aw Yeah! adds a third retail location. Congrats to them. I like the Muncie location, and try to stop by every time I'm in town.
* this idea of paying authors according to how many pages are read strikes me as fundamentally wrong, but I suppose we're way past any system I might prefer. I think artists or publishers to whom artists cede control in this specific area should set a price according to however the hell they want. People can either sell it or not, buy it or not. That's not what we have now except in a few broad circumstances, and it sounds like it will lurch even further in the other direction. It should be interesting to see if there's a different reaction in comics than there has been in prose.
* finally, another bit of not comics: a couple of folks sent in links to this piece, where an artist suggest a donation to charity of a discount on art work rather than a donation of art work outright.
