Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* as widely expected, the Quebecor re-organization plans have been approved.

* the very nice and very smart Graeme McMillan interviews Grant Morrison about all things Batman and Robin.

* who says all the Comic-Con hotel rooms have been booked up for weeks? I just re-booked my entire CCI weekend yesterday evening at 8 PM and booked a friend for two days from scratch. This is my way of saying that today's the day you have to settle on a room or potentially get charged for any you're holding onto. I wish I could go to Wednesday's ICv2.com conference, which just added Jeff Smith.

* I was hoping that yesterday being John Byrne's birthday that someone would share an interesting anecdote. Scott Edelman steps up to bat here.

* here's the follow-up essay to what I thought was a pretty compelling piece of writing last time around at CWR on the lack of black super-villains. This new piece is a lot less coherent than the last one, I'm afraid.

* the cartoonist and artist Colleen Doran is detailing one of those protracted publishing horror stories that has to be read to be believed and that everyone should read before fully committing to making comics with any sense of professional devotion.

* Bal Thackeray, who's had what is probably the most interesting post-artistic career of any cartoonist in history, underwent angioplasty recently (that is a video link that pops up and start playing immediately.)

* I am thankful this article sums up all the recent PR-driven articles of the kind that make me feel slightly queasy when I try to read them.

* if Gil Thorp beat you onto Twitter, you're officially old.

* finally, here's something you don't see every day: an interview with Fantagraphics' Kim Thompson.
