Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the artist and writer Frank Santoro finishes up his Craft in Comics report; an earlier part of this same report was where the big Alex Ross throw-down occurred.

* David P. Welsh talks smart on expectations for the development of a manga audience.

* from Bryan Lee O'Malley comes word on the status of Brandon Graham's King City Vol. 2: apparently, he's publishing some of the sequel to the Eisner-nominated first volume on-line because it won't be published by Tokyopop nor will they allow him to take it someplace it can be published.

* the editorial cartoonist Charlie Daniel celebrates 50 years on the job.

* here's a review of Ganges Vol. 1-2; I'm not sure there have been more important books published this decade in terms of a major cartoonist finding his creative voice.

* a few of you were nice enough to send me a link to this post indicating there will be a blog-style examination of Douglas Wolk's Reading Comics. I get a little lost once I get there, but I guess one should just bookmark that post and hope that it develops from there.

* the writer Laura Hudson takes a look at the codes in Bottomless Belly Button. (via The Beat)

* the writer JK Parkin is excited to learn about IDW's project with the cartoonist Darwyn Cooke, likely one of the two projects without a publisher he discussed at his San Diego Con spotlight panel in 2007.

* finally, the longtime editor Tom Brevoort suggests that the Wizard Awards Ceremony didn't happen this year because of hurt mainstream comics company feelings regarding an acceptance speech video, which has to be the saddest thing I've heard all day. Granted, it's early. I figured it was just the con's date switch.
