Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Disney Publishing has launched its comics app with a 50-comic backlog and two new comics a week, a program described here.

* over at the site The Adventures of Mr. Phil, you'll find another two pages from the rare David Mazzucchelli short story "Beer Bottle Blues."

* Scott Edelman catches up with Marie Severin, and lets us partially in to see how that comics great is doing.

* not comics: Peter David is asking potential buyers how much he should charge for a forthcoming prose e-book, which may also set the standard for other creators working at the site.

* the DWA site has added a page featuring the late Martin Vaughn-James.

* the folks over at Savage Critics finish their extended roundtable on the big companies' event series in progress: Flashpoint and Fear Itself. That one gets real wonky real fast, but I enjoyed it as much as I did the other two. Jog reviews Super 8 along the way.

* the judge overseeing the Borders bankruptcy has given the beleaguered bookstore giant an extension on a certain drastic deadline, although the general outcome looks no brighter.

* Jeff Trexler is revisiting the Comics Code at TCJ, starting with this piece.

* Kevin Melrose is one of the all-time great comics linkbloggers for posts like this one: a look at DC's new swank-ass headquarters in Burbank.

* finally, I'm not sure why no one has thought about this before, or why I haven't noticed, but I think I'll steal it for next year: Michael Rhode provides a summer comics gift list. Now that I think of it, I guess TCJ used to to the summer reading lists of various pros and comics people, which even as a lad struck me as full of lies. A gift list for the Mothers' Day/Fathers' Day/Graduation Day triumverate seems like a good idea no matter what's been done before.
