Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Jessica Abel writes about her family's one-year stay in France.

* Sean T. Collins talks to Simon Hanselmann. Noel Murray profiles Zander Cannon and Kevin Cannon. Zak Sally begins an epic interview with Peter Bagge. Some nice person interviews Vanessa Davis.

* Bob Temuka discusses hating.

* the writer JM DeMatteis has a lengthy post up about the fluid boundaries between art and hackwork. I like DeMatteis, but this strikes me as arguing a bunch of points that no one other than some sort of made-up elitist bogeyman would hold.

* Roderick Ruth on Astro City #1. Bob Temuka on Watchmen read in the context of its own hype. Matt Derman on a bunch of 1987 comics. Sean Gaffney on Umineko: When They Cry Vol. 3. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on Trinity.

* I would suppose that this is the iconic portrait for the comics series Nexus. I'm a middle-aged guy now, and when you're middle-aged the world hilariously conspires to remind you of this fact. I don't think I've ever felt as old as I did a few years back when I realized that I'd pretty much seen the entire lifecycle of that particular series. I'm not sure I can articulate why that on struck me, but it did.

* Brian Hibbs notes that no crowd-funded comics has gained retail traction in his store.

* this looks awfully cool.

* finally, if you're in Chicago this month, you should make the special effort to meet John Porcellino.
