Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Todd Klein on Autumnlands: Tooth & Claw #6.

* the arts writer and longtime alt-industry mainstay Robert Boyd is getting back into the publishing business with Exu Magazine. It's mostly not comics, but the comics choices are interesting: fellow Texans Mack White and Scott Gilbert. Boyd writes about the project here and has an Indiegogo campaign going here. That's not a crowd-funder but an advance orders mechanism. Boyd made sure he had enough money in the bank to pay everyone and pay them well before proceeding.

* the cartoonist Molly Ostertag muses on working at home over long periods of time and how to keep productive.

* David Harper talks to a small group of retailers about their business. It's such a small group that it's hard to extrapolate anything, but the results are interesting nonetheless.

* a visit to the Valiant editorial offices.

* Jim Lee and Dan DiDio do one of those annual summer interviews with comics business news site ICv2.com. Start here. There's an interesting couple of graphs on their problems with talent relations and what they're doing about it, and Milton Griepp presses them a bit on their resetting their retailer terms to match Marvel which many consider a step back from the previous arrangement (an idea with which the DC executives seem to agree, although they see it as conforming to industry standard).

* meanwhile, the third member of the DC editorial trinity, Geoff Johns, reached out to Tony Isabella.

* finally, Deb Aoki presents a Gengoroh Tagame-featured panel from TCAF.
