Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* new R. Fiore is always worth celebrating.

* Patrick Meaney on St. Swithin's Day. Stephen Carlick on Ed The Happy Clown. Austin English on a bunch of different comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Are You My Mother? Jeet Heer on The GNB Double-C and Are You My Mother? Matt Seneca on Light Comitragies.

* not comics: I'd feel better about this Spider-Man ramen if I could tell what those little Spider-Man heads are made of.

* Graeme McMillan agrees with me that DC promoting its creators is worth noting, although he emphasizes different elements of the campaign than I did. Also, Image's publisher responds with a well-deserved zinger. Speaking of McMillan, he picks up on some MorrisonCon news I didn't get included in my festival round-up today. Basically, the top tier stuff has sold out. Like I said, given trends in concert, convention and sports arena buying habits, this doesn't seem like a shocker. I'm sort of surprised no one's tried elite packages within someone else's Comic-Con framework.

* Daryl Cagle shares the sketch he was working on regarding healthcare that a twist in yesterday's news meant he did not end up completing.

* Meredith Woerner talks to Marc Webb. Christopher Irving and Seth Kushner profile the great Peter Bagge.

* Gary Tyrrell breaks down the webcomics presence in San Diego.

* not comics: Fantagraphics has been putting a lot of individual on-line effort into its Significant Objects project, which indicates to me at least someone or a few someone there at the publishing company is very taken with that book.

* he's our favorite Houston arts blogger, too.

* not comics: that sounds like a good property to launch as a movie franchise, although which version of the team is anybody's guess. I always wondered if that concept didn't have some unreached potential in the funnybook shops, too.

* that Captain Marvel makes me want to punch someone in the face, so it has that going for it. They can spend all that energy reverse-developing Alan Moore's characters instead of working with the rich vein of comics that is Captain Marvel?

* finally, this preview of Spider Monkey #2 has been sitting in my bookmarks for a few days now.
