Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* submissions are on hiatus at SLG until further notice.

image* here are 25 of the coolest cosmic characters according to Jeffery Klaehn. There's a lot of Kirby art in there, of course, including this underrated gem of a cover.

* it's Leon's world; we just read about it.

* the Wall Street Journal captures the sheer force and size and complexity of Comic-Con International in a few short paragraphs. Okay, no it doesn't.

* Mark Coale reads EW so you don't have to! Getting too upset about what Coale reports is an almost 100 absence of comics content in the entertainment magazine's CCI preview invests that kind of endorsement with way more power than it should have, i.e. any. But it's certainly worth nothing and laughing about.

* our friend David P. Welsh takes a look at what will be offered through Sigikki.com.

* there are very few cartoonists making work as consistently amusing as Vanessa Davis is right now; here's a short interview with her at largehearted boy. Anytime when more than three people e-mail me an interview or other comics-related link I know someone big had it first, so my apologies to that person.

* finally, you pretty much need to stop what you're doing and see this photo of Craig Thompson and Tom Cruise.
