Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I think this is about as formal a launch as we're likely to get for the Kirby family's fundraising efforts surrounding what would have been the late Jack Kirby's 96th birthday. I hope that you'll read the article and participate in their campaign or some other, just find some way to give back on that date or in recognition of that date.

image* Chris Sims talks to Cliff Chiang. Brian Truitt talks to Jonathan Hickman. Patrick Riley talks to Lee Sullivan.

* it's really fun to read Tom Scioli right now.

* I am always charmed by publishers congratulating their artists and writers on awards wins, maybe more than I am charmed by award themselves.

* not comics: D+Q does very well with these.

* Cory Doctorow on On The Ropes. Richard Bruton on I Am Fire. Kelly Thompson on Trillium #1. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on Zenith. Paul O'Brien on All-New X-Men #15. Johanna Draper Carlson on Midnight Secretary Vol. 1. Rob Clough on two by Dash Shaw. Jordan Smith on a bunch of different comics. More from 1987 by Matt Derman.

* these are the recent comics that Richard Bruton liked the most. These are the recent collected editions Chris Marshall says are worth checking out.

* Bob Temuka talks about paper.

* former Alternative Comics publisher Jeff Mason looks so peaceful this way, like he's real people. I also liked this drawing Box Brown did of Hulk Hogan. Please stay tuned for future episodes of "Following Links Off Of Twitter At 2:36 PM On A Monday."

* Brandon Seifert on why he doesn't write rape scenes. That's an interesting perspective. I'm actually more of the mind that absolutely everything is on the table when it comes to art, which is one reason why Millar's practice of using this specific horrifying act as little more than a raise-the-stakes genre tweak seems so deplorable.

* Johanna Draper Carlson caught a process post by Raina Telgemeier so I will send you there through her.

* finally, it's fun to follow the writer-about-comics Jog on twitter.
