Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's the first lengthy take I've seen of what I'm sure is going to be an overlapping reality of lengthy takes on the Grant Morrison written, many artists drawn Multiversity project.

* Francois Vigneault talks to Eleanor Davis. Sean Collins profiles Rocket Raccoon.

* kudos to ICv2.com on catching a news story that I sure as hell as didn't: that Nancy Silberkleit showed up at and then was led away from the Archie San Diego booth, no doubt because of the ongoing legal back and forth between Silberkleit, the company, and, as I recall, some of the people working there distinct from the company itself. I hope that situation resolves itself as fairly as possible; no one looks happy here.

* Dana Jennings on a bunch of different comics.

* not comics: the Portland Mercury is looking for an arts editor. I would imagine that with its cartooning talent that some knowledge of comics and cartooning would be helpful although I imagine you have to be able to engage with all of the arts. I think I'm more interested in the fact that a primetime editing and writing job has opened up in a city where no jobs of any kind ever open up ever ever ever.

* Ted Naifeh draws Namor the Sub-Mariner.

* finally, one thing this particular site design is ill-suited to do is to run notices of forthcoming classes -- something that happens on a day other than the day you should sign up for that thing. I noticed that Tom Devlin is teaching a comic course this August. I imagine it's very good. I also imagine that if I put it up on those dates and someone goes and finds out that it's full or the sessions started weeks ago someone will flay me. Something to consider, though. I'd love to take a class like that. I'm going to be one of those super-old people that takes classes, if I'm lucky enough to make it that far.
