Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Dave Eggers would like you to know that print is not dead. I think he has a point -- a lot of the newspaper collapse was due to a lot of publications growing used to having high single figure or double digit growth in profits every year and a general bloat across the board in terms of staffing.

image* the writer and reviewer Johnny Bacardi has posted some smooth-looking pin-ups from Tim Truman's Scout series.

* dueling Superman. Speaking of which, there has to be something in here somewhere about wishing for one's own death.

* not comics: I forgot to congratulate Dean Haspiel on the work he did that snared an Emmy nomination. Congratulations, Dean.

* the always-impressive Jim Woodring draws our attention to an art-focused monies-raised type site of the kind that seem to be quite popular right now.

* here's a write-up on medical issue graphic novels, focusing a bit on Brian Fies' work.

* Bryan Lee O'Malley posts information on a bunch of Scott Pilgrim events related to the release of the final volume in the book series and the subsequent movie premiere.

* finally, Dan Nadel reviews Asgardian fashion.
