Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Michael Buntag on Noah.

* not comics: Jim McLauchlin looks at the Disney purchase of Marvel and asks if it's been worth it. It seems that the answer is such a resounding yes that you don't really have to quantify a whole lot of anything. I would imagine the only counter-argument is that Disney is now tied into movie releases that reflect a formula that each in its own way is past an earlier prime: superheroes, Pixar, Star Wars. This leaves other studios to pick and choose according to newer models, like Universal has. Of course, the Hulk of Universal's all-star 2015 movie rollout is Jurassic Park, the same kind of older property Star Wars and Spider-Man seem to be.

* I've mentioned this once before but I was led to the link again; who wouldn't want a panorama-style effort with a lot of variations being offered, all from Tom Gauld.

* Kyle Baker draws the greatest television character of all time and the 41st.

* Mark Frauenfelder enthuses over the Artist's Edition of Kamandi, with a ton of art used to help supplement his point.

* finally: Papercutz turns ten, which is a stop and go "Whoa" moment. I would have guessed four to six years. I'm glad Mike Lynch caught that, because Papercutz has sold a lot of books the last ten years and doesn't get credit for that as much as they should. That's a very successful imprint.
