Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Mike Lynch has a nice link round-up on the Afghanistan trip being taken by Matt Bors, Steven Cloud and Ted Rall. The jokes about "if you have to, leave Ted" from several weeks back aren't as funny now that they're all on their way, and we wish their safe return.

* Matthew Surridge has a little history post up on the initial Conan The Barbarian comics. I do think that Conan's reputation as a startling direction for comics at the time has a lot to do with the way comics was so not-mindful of anything other than what was going on in the exact area that interested the reader, and how the whole medium had been re-defined in terms of its superhero history.

* the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com has a short post up saying that Top Cow has hired comic store co-owner Atom! Freeman to be their direct market liaison. He will split time between the Top Cow gig and the things he does for his retail operation.

* Grant Morrison is almost always interesting, but I've never been more confused about any phase of his career than the one that involves him doing a bunch of Batman comics.

* Dustin Harbin looks at MoCCA and wonders about the price they're charging for tables.

* just a massive craft post here from Gareth Ewing: bookmark, save, savor.

* finally, one of the most prolific comics bloggers on the Internet still hasn't found work and could use a donation.
