Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Jake Grubman talks to Alec Longstreth.

* Hillary Brown on Maakies: Drinky Crow Drinks Again.

* this is the kind of thing I miss out on seeing because of taking a summer away from Twitter: Marvel is doing a bronze statue of Captain America/Steve Rogers and is going to put it in Brooklyn. Further, some people -- I can't imagine who remembers and who cares -- are mad because the Brooklyn-born part of Steve Rogers' past isn't in the original conception. I hope they're taking the statue across country and taking photos at every stop along the way. I'd volunteer to drive it, but DC never responded to my offer to drive Lobby Clark Kent to Burbank, so a pox on both of their houses.

* Garry Tyrrell digs into the riches of the Comic-Con programming schedule.

* debating the greatest comic-book kiss on a made-up holiday. Most of the top 10 of comic-book kisses are kisses drawn by Jaime Hernandez (like Hope and Maggie's first kiss), and the best comic-strip kiss is by Milton Caniff. I do like that Ross Andru Peter Parker/Mary Jane Watson kiss, which I will argue nerd-style to the death is the final page to the original run of Amazing Spider-Man as a single, cohesive unit.

* it was a smaller subset and a smaller percentage of the country's economy was at stake, but there was once a character that Star Wars fans of the moment hated more than Jar Jar Binks.

* finally, James Whitbrook looks back at Marvel's adaptation of the original Star Wars.
