Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* there's some push back against the push back about Comic-Con some ten days in the rear view mirror now. That's like 10,000 years in Internet time. Still: Corey Blake spotlights comics stories, including a few I've completely missed out on. Megan Byrd tells the haters to shut up.

* Kelly Thompson on Batman: Li'l Gotham #2. Rob Clough on Best American Comics 2007. Justin Giampaoli on a bunch of different comics. Johanna Draper Carlson on Stan Lee's How To Draw Superheroes. Kelly Thompson on Avengers Assemble #17. Sam Costello on The Strange Tale Of Panorama Island.

* Scott Edelman documents an extremely old -- but very high-profile -- case of logo theft.

* not comics: Kevin Melrose walks us through a significantly-funded Kickstarter project that pulled a Vinko Bogataj, and I can't imagine a better, more thorough tour guide.

* I love this particular face that Robert Kirkman occasionally makes in photos. Neil Gaiman has this great face, too, that he employed at the Eisner: kind of a Buster Keaton combined with Harpo Marx just-about-to-gulp look.

* a reminder that Samuel Beckett and Ernie Bushmiller were pen pals.

* I don't even know what the hell is going on here, but I sure do love me the Super-Sons. There's something about the ubiquity of Superman and Batman -- sort of an assumed dominance, really -- that made all sorts of stupid things make sense. It's Superman really -- he's super-everything; Batman is just like the not-exactly-Superman control group.

* have to imagine that any Johnny Bacardi tumblr tage with "Thriller" in it will yield a bunch of fun stuff.

* this artists drawing Batman with eyes closed thing was in a bunch of places last week, but I'm just now catching up because, unlike Batman, sometimes I fall down on the job.

* finally, trouble for the Paul Conrad Chain Reaction Statue is one of the enduring, recurring stories in comics.
