Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Todd Klein on Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1. Bob Temuka on Aama and DK3. Jerry Smith on Captain America Epic Collection Vol. 1.

* IDW is looking for an experienced comic book editor. That'll be a good job for someone and might be a source of frustration for a lot of people who would like such a job and think they'd be good at it but don't have the asked-for experience. I hope they interview widely, and trust they will.

* Chip Zdarsky has powerful friends.

* this is a fun comics page. I prefer both action-oriented pages and gigantic panorama-style vista to this kind of posed shot, and comics that rely on posed images tend to be some of the worst in world history. That's still a fine character design, surrounded by a number of very comics-y visual flourishes.

* I guess people are still debating plot points in comics with Captain America in them and how comics work and such? I picked a good summer to skip Twitter.

* this is how you create 1000 gags in a year. I love old books about gag cartooning. There's never been revival for that kind of comics-making that's gone very deep, and I don't expect one any time soon. This is fine with me until I have all the Chon Day paperbacks.

* Abraham Riesman picks the best comics of the year to date. That's a really broad list in terms of genre and approach, and there are a lot of good comics on it.

* Zack Smith talks to Tom Scioli. Someone at the Creators Of Written Sins site talks to Victor Dandridge, Jr. Derek Colanduno talks to Darryl Cunningham.

* here is a run of cartoons about Brexit. Here is another. Here is something related that I can't see because WaPo wants subscription money now.

* finally, here are Matt Kindt's 10 rules for drawing comics.
