Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Politics and Prose, a well-liked DC-area independent bookstore and occasional comics signing host, has a number of buyers interested in purchasing the place.

image* Frank Santoro has a nice multiple-item post up where each one could fill an evening's worth of conversation were you to sit down with a bunch of comics-interested folk. Speaking of Brandon Graham, there's another interview up with him at Ink Studs.

* I'm having one of those mornings where I can't remember if I've never seen this advertisement for Action Comics #1 before, or if I've seen it like 10,000 times.

* the second cartoon here should be funny to anyone that follows editorial cartooning -- unless they're really, really defensive about it.

* that essay that Johanna Draper Carlson wrote about not giving to Kickstarter projects? She says she was wrong.

* how can the economy be doing poorly when people have money to buy all this crap?

* eight cartoonists have launched something called "The Cartoonist Studio" with the idea that you will eventually buy stuff from them. I think that's what's going on there. I don't think they're actually working together.

* finally, the writer Matt Seneca looks at one of those long panels with lots of classic comics characters and wonders what characters of right now might make such a line-up at a future date. It's a lot better than that sounds, I swear.
