Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Diamond Books presents its Graphic Novels Common Core list, which I guess are Diamond-carried works that are suitable for use in educational settings. This is sort of blogger crack in that it combines listmaking, comics outreach and snap-judgments of books, but as much as I've sat here and thought about it I don't know that I have a lot to say. If that's something that people want to know, then Diamond should tell them. I hope they sell some quality books that way.

image* Allan Holtz on Al Capp: A Life To The Contrary. Don MacPherson on Lazarus #1. Doug Zawisza on Justice League #21. Wrathamon reviews a bunch of different titles. J. Caleb Mozzocco reviews a bunch of different comics. Greg McElhatton on Young Avengers #6. Sean Gaffney on Wandering Son Vol. 4.

* you could spend a lot of time looking at contest participants here. Or you could spend some time with a Thomas Scioli process post here. Or both. Or neither.

* the veteran writer Ron Marz explains how he answers the question of "Will you read my script?"

* Kiel Phegley talks to Axel Alonso. Jeffrey Renaud talks to Robert Venditti.

* I never know exactly how these things work, but I figure you can start here and eventually friend the magazine Mineshaft on Facebook and have access to all that they have to post, which could be awesome. Mineshaft is one of the undeniably good things in comics right now.

* if John Boehner jumps into a metal suit and stars imprisoning Congressional Democrats, I will totally start watching C-Span again.

* finally, if you can, please help the nice piece at OSU identify a few of the mini-comics going into the Dylan Williams collection.
