Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I think it is unreservedly a good thing that creators like Matt Fraction and Steve Niles are going to that Aurora, Colorado comics shop for their late-August benefit. I hope others join them and do so in the matter-of-fact way that those initial announcements were made.

* Eric Buckler talks to Joe Daly. Rachel Walther profiles Matt Silady. Matthew Harrison Tedford profiles Susan Miller. Jack Rico and Ignacio Torres profile Axel Alonso.

* not comics: this "Confessions Of A Middle-Aged Games Writer" post may speak to many of you out there that are still involved with comics in that way.

* it really isn't, you know.

* Sean Kleefeld on ADD and Bill Finger: The Boy Wonder. Andy Oliver on Harker: The Book Of Solomon. Johnny Bacardi on a bunch of different stuff. Rob Clough on some comics by Colleen Frakes. Bob Temuka on a bunch of stuff including Beyond. Don MacPherson on National Comics: Eternity #1. Sean Gaffney on Soul Eater Not! #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Justice League Of America: Dark Things. Johanna Draper Carlson on Sakuran: Blossoms Wild. Sterg Botzakis on Gingerbread Girl.

* Joseph Lambert pays tribute to a master.

* everything's coming up Gerber.

* Sean T. Collins dissects the Dan Nadel Vs. People That Don't Like What Dan Nadel Said About Kickstarter thing. At the time I'm typing this -- mid-1984, actually, I wanted to see the LA Olympics -- I haven't read a lot of what was out there. To be honest, I have yet to read the second half of Sean's. I will say I was depressed by the number of people that I saw in my super-brief survey that responded by scrambling for perceived hypocrisy on Nadel's part. That just seems like such a sad, intellectually impoverished way of approaching every single argument. I mean, come on: Gandhi, Dr. King and Lincoln were hypocrites by the Internet standard. The only people that aren't hypocrites by the Internet standard are lunatics, shut-ins and coma victims. There has to be a different way of arguing issues. Maybe every person that makes an argument can "jinx" the hypocrite argument by saying that they're a hypocrite. That way at least they won't be a hypocrite about being a hypocrite.

* not comics: I like to back movies that most people don't like, but I mostly remember this one being deadly dull.

* finally, Frank Santoro's comics sale looks like it was fun.
