Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* great to see Bernie Wrightson did receive his Eisner Hall Of Fame trophy, even if it was a full year and two days later than originally intended.

* Desiree Rodriguez on Starfire #1.

* Zack Smith talks to Kate Beaton. Eric Diaz talks to Grant Morrison. Dan Berry talks to Ryan Sands.

* Mike Sterling reacts in positive and only slightly guarded fashion to Berke Breathed returning to his Bloom County feature. I'm all for artists doing whatever they want with the things they own, and look forward to seeing if he can develop a voice in completely different times.

* Chris Butcher writes about all the baby conventions out there and how proud that makes him.

* not comics: don't remember where I got this link but the idea of citizen-archivists may end up being important in comics in the decade or so after the institutional collections begin to coalesce. I don't have a good read on it, though.

* AJ Kuenzi waves goodbye to the Fraction/AJa/Hollingsworth/et al version of Hawkeye, a paradigm shifter in terms of tone and approach.

* finally, Jeet Heer argues that making superheroes out of the recent superheroes-for-adults tradition is a very shallow pool from which to bring to life a lot of work. I always if this material isn't for kids, anyway -- there certainly seem to be enough children in the grim and gritty superhero movies I see.
