Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* CBR has Tony Moore's latest Walking Dead-related filing up in full on its site. I've punted pretty badly on that story, although I'm not sure how much more there is there except to say "hey, look" -- at least until there's a decision.

image* BK Munn talks to John Martz. Colin Smith talks to Roger Gibson. Alex Dueben talks to John Shirley. Jamie Coville talks to Richard Kyle. Noah J. Nelson talks to Mark Waid.

* this Bill Sienkiewicz Kingpin image sure is pretty. You know, it's weird that we have a continuity of appreciation to work that appeared two decades ago. It's neat, but it's weird. And it's a recent thing. Like if you put up a Don Heck image in 1987, no one was oohing and aahing. I like that there's an audience for work that looks like it could have been made 25 years ago. That's a strength of comics, not a weakness.

* I like the idea of a column about stuff going on in the backgrounds of comics panels, although I don't really understand the selection of this one to kick off the column.

* the Ignatz nominees are due to be announced on Monday.

* I'm seeing this Luke Pearson cartoon everywhere.

* Rob Clough on Teen Boat. Todd Klein on Green Lantern: New Guardians #9, Snarked! and Love And Capes Vol. 3. Carlo Santos on Bakuman Vol. 11. Sean Gaffney on GTO: 14 Days In Shonan Vol. 4. Kate Dacey on Dawn Of The Arcana Vols. 3-5. Greg McElhatton on It Girl And The Atomics #1-2. Michael May on Cardboard. Paul Gravett in the 1990s, talking about anthologies. Michael Buntag on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Vol. 3. Jen Vaughn on Teen Boat!

* it's impossible to link to without, well, you know.

* wow, that is pretty cool.

* finally, people sure love this Matt Madden cartoon. And why wouldn't they? It's very clever.
