Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* sorry about the erratic posting recently; I've been on vacation. Okay, not really. That's an awesome-looking place, though.

* Johanna Draper Carlson is first out of the gate with an analysis of the difficulties facing the probably-about-to-be-euthanized Friends Of Lulu advocacy organization.

* not comics: the hobby business and news analysis site ICv2.com brings word of various licensing announcements for Phil Foglio's Girl Genius property, another seeming success story for the open initial release model made possible by the Internet.

* not comics: I think the language of this post about Top Cow teaming with a film company to develop a property will become commonplace as more and more comics companies contribute to the development end of things.

* I quite enjoyed the idea behind this essay from Michael Cavna, connecting John Callahan to Harvey Pekar as favorite-son cartoonists linked to specific places.

* wait, the Hero Initiative charity is using a budget person whose name they don't know?

* the funny thing about Therese O'Neill's article on graphic novels for people who hate comics is that as much as I like the books she recommends, the one I want to read most is the imaginary bad one she describes in the first paragraph. It sounds awesome.

* finally, several of you sent along this Wil Wheaton essay about Comic-Con from over at Techland. He has more of an investment in nerd culture as its own thing than I do, but it's an intriguing point of view.
