Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Milton Griepp (I'm guessing) talks to Jack Katz. Fiona Duncan talks to Lisa Hanawalt. Alex Dueben talks to C. Spike Trotman.

* I went to this page expecting by the title to read a parody comic, so I started reading and I was laughing and then I realized that without knowing it I was reading the comic being parodied rather than the parody.

* Andrew Mansell on Star Wars: Purge. Rob Kirby on The Understanding Monster Vol. 1. John Kane on a bunch of comics. Rob Clough on a bunch of comics. Jog on the late-period comics of Steve Ditko. Sean Gaffney on Oresama Teacher Vol. 14. Sean Kleefeld on Frank And His Friend Collectors Edition Vol. 1. Johanna Draper Carlson on Zits: Chillax, Beginning Pearls and Ghostbusters Vol. 5. Richard Bruton on The Silver Darlings. Sarah Horrocs on So Long, Silver Screen.

* not comics: this guy looks like he's having fun.

* pretty much every Hulk comic as I remember it.

* Warren Craghead drew his family.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco writes about Mark Millar's use -- noting that its Mark Millar's characters' use -- of the word "retard." He also writes about DC's crossover "Trinity War" for ComicsAlliance and made me laugh with his line about the hats.

* jumpstart that comics career. In 2009.

* when I was a child, I loved features like this one. The relative complexity of all the different characters and false starts was enough to engage the clever parts of my brain, but it was about people in costumes beating other people up so there wasn't a lot of unpleasant subtext to bum me out or confuse me in my undeveloped social state.

* not comics: I am totally stealing JR Williams' backpack. My backpack has a $200 computer, an E-Man comic, three socks and a bunch of Hostess apple pie wrappers.

* finally, it's not what it used to be, but I like that there's still love for the various X-Men teams, even and perhaps especially modern permutations of same. I'm not really a fan of anything in that way, but I always thought the most appealing part of fandom is when it pushes people to make their own art response. That can quickly get weird, but I like the idea of it.
