Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Comic-Con Friday, Saturday and Sunday programming is up. I look forward to seeing the Kim Thompson panel on Friday, that should be a good one.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco on Ariol Vols. 1-2. Brandon Thomas on The Saga Of The Swamp Thing #21. Rob Clough on a pair of musical anthologies. Sean Gaffney on Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Vol. 2. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of comic-shop comics. Michael Buntag on Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan's Hope. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on Satellite Sam #1. Henry Chamberlain on The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation. Richard Bruton on Grand Gestures and Windrush #2. Nicola Love on The Amateur Astronomer's Journal. Kelly Thompson on Daredevil Dark Nights #2 and Suicide Risk #3. A bunch of different writers on Catalyst Comix.

* I like the looks of this big, orange print that Darryl Cunningham is selling. Ditto this Alan Moore t-shirt.

* I hesitate before people to Huffington Post, because I think creators of content should be paid first if there's any money available to pay them, but Katherine Brooks interviews Nick Cardy here and there's some nice art in there. JK Parkin talks to Evan Shaner.

* Bob Temuka writes in praise of that Mount Rushmore of Comics Interview Subjects member late '80s/early '90s Grant Morrison. I agree with Temuka that few people hold forth in interviews any more. People are much more conscious of creating offense, and they do a lot more interviews as a general rule which a) kind of dilutes the effect of wanting to get things off of one's chest, b) creates less of a reactive marketplace even when an interview is really remarkable.

* Sean Kleefeld notes that Johnny Hart presaged a new transportation device.

* not comics: Seattle is where 'zine culture and rock culture collided.

* finally, Chris Arrant uses the Archaia/BOOM! deal to write about how the modern DC Comics was born out of a merger-happy early comics publishing enterprise.
