Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Chris Sims explores previous DCU/Sandman crossovers in light of news that the Death character will be making an appearance in an issue of Action Comics.

image* Paul Gravett on the new-found respectability afforded British comics.

* there is a good deal of material on Inez Townsend in the comments section supporting a post reprinting/profiling her comic, Gretchen Gratz.

* my cheat sheet of comics-related panel listings for Comic-Con International 2010 has all four days of programming up now and while things may change I'll use something like it on the floor of the show as I don't have the kind of Internet calendar/scheduler skills to make use of an electronic option. That's a lot of potentially good panels, especially given the multiple interests the show has. You could make a pretty good day's worth of panels out of panels that you'll have to skip due to being at other good panels.

* Kurt Busiek answers his mail.

* former critic and I'm guessing still a writer Jesse Fuchs writes in with a link to this Internet phenomenon picture of about six months ago, only wondering why Sally instead of Lucy is paired with Schroeder?

* nobody discourage Eric Reynolds from doing this.

* manga specialist Kate Dacey recommends five works of shojo manga that are in her opinion underrated.

* finally, seeing this post by Mike Sterling makes me realize I've likely reached the limits of my lifetime's allotment of Swamp Thing comics. Maybe one the size of a very thin wafer. But that's it.
