Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* go, look: Katie Skelly after Milo Manara.

* Sean Gaffney on Black Bullet: The Destruction Of The World By Fire. Andy Oliver on Can I Borrow Your Toilet? Tom Murphy on Dept. H #1. Tim Hanley on Wonder Woman: Earth One. Tahneer Oksman on The Complete Wimmen's Comix.

* Claire Armitstead profiles Robert Crumb. The off-hand descriptives in these articles re: Aline are beginning to drive me nuts. Brett White talks to Cullen Bunn. Annie Mok talks to Julie Doucet. Frank Santoro profiles Simon Hanselmann.

* it's hard to believe the Comic-Con imposter story has stayed around this long as an item of interest, but it does reveal a kind of weird checklist of values and procedures where festivals and conventions are concerned.

* I must have really punted it on this week's By Request column, because I've missed four or five major projects, including a Kickstarter for a book from Seymour Chwast and a solid not-comics entry: Graham Annable doing some Grickle films through a Patreon.

* not comics: in terms of my personal take on the newspaper business, this is like the Empire complaining that Mordor has been sending soldiers their way. I don't know what happens if these two juggernauts get into it, but it won't be pretty.

* finally, I wasn't kidding. I really want us to talk about this derivative works of Bill Watterson obsession we seem to have.
