Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Steve Ditko answers a kid's letter. There's a lot that's admirable about the way Steve Ditko conducts his professional life.

* Joe Gordon on Airboy #1. Todd Klein on Positively 4th Street. Rob McMonigal on Murder Mystery Superfan. James Kaplan on The Disciples #1.

* this article from retailer Brian Hibbs is interesting because it looks at Kickstarter through the prism of a bunch of assumptions derived from his role in the marketplace. In other words, I think it's more interesting as what a retailer thinks of as being wrong with a crowd-funded project than what people that are really invested in crowd-funded projects would think of as being wrong.

* here's a site to watch, and I can't remember how I found out so apologies to that person: Helene Parsons has written gags for several cartoonists; I don't know that I've read much from someone working that very specific cartooning job.

* that is a couple of honorable, dignified human beings trading books right there.

* Ken Parille on that recent New Yorker cover from Chris Ware to which many people had a strong, mostly negative reaction.

* I would never think of dissecting a superhero line based on the looks given the characters, but that's a perfectly reasonable give how much the look of a character reflects the general creative direction of one of these properties. It's hard for me to remember a good run of a superhero comic where the character also looked ridiculous.

* finally, Andrew Wheeler talks to Asaf Hanuka. John Parker profiles Alex Toth.
