Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* add Creators Syndicate to the list of comics business launching apps for ipod and iphone.

image* man, they need to print a giant Eddie Campbell book every year if it means he regularly blogs like he has been lately.

* the great Jeff Smith will be either the Guest of Honor or one of select few Guests of Honor (I can never tell with these shows) at the forthcoming C2E2 2010, Reed's foray into Chicago comics conventioneering.

* we hope that Sean Phillips continues to feel better.

* today's must-listen: the first "Conversational Comics" panel done on behalf of the CBLDF. It features David Heatley, Lauren Weinstein and Julia Wertz.

* I think I may also cover this under its own posting if I can find something about between now and then, but in case I don't: longtime staffer Mike Cotton has been named Editor of Wizard magazine. Cotton has been around long enough and has enough of a reputation as a kind of core Wizard person he's the person I think of when I think of a random Wizard employee. It's likely he was already doing an editor's job there given all the cutbacks and who's left and who among who's left has experience, so good for him.

* World's Not-Finest. (via Gil)

* finally, the critic Tim Hodler talks out loud on a variety of subjects, including why cartoonists don't go for a fine arts figure other than Philip Guston.
