* not comics: I wasn't aware Zack Snyder is trying to do a Cobalt 60 film. I think they've finally found Mark Wahlberg's comics movie.
* the writer, comics historian and longtime San Diego con fixture Mark Evanier suggests that maybe people should drop the nerd jokes about Comic-Con International and its attendees. I would settle for someone telling a funny one.
* another day, another review site. I prefer this to last week's "another day, another massive and I expect reasonably well-funded group blog."
* I have no idea what the hell people are talking about when they talk about content and vertical platforms or whatever, but I guess if you're one of those creators that shares in a property with DC Comics, an article like this is good news.
* this short piece on L'Association's disclaimer regarding putting bar codes on their books killed me.
* a new comics exhibition will open in Illinois this October -- it looks like you could arrange for it to visit your museum, if you have one. RC Harvey consulted.
