Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on Aquaman #33. Carla Hoffman on Thanos: The Infinity Revelation. J. Caleb Mozzocco on The Fox: Freak Magnet.

* ... and a near-endless supply of chicken companions.

* this Gerry Alanguilan essay about the passing of his mother is very touching, and starts off with a wonderful detail that I think will resonate with a lot of my writer and artists friends, the way he initially notes hearing the news.

* not comics: they're really just a PR organization there to boost the side other than the one they're taking; they have to be.

* I enjoyed how unsparing this profile of Epic Comics was in terms of its appraisal of what got published, although I wish they had qualfied its contribution to the reality of creator-owned comics to designate this a creator-owned imprint owned by a mainstream company, because certainly there had been creator-owned books for twenty years at that point, exactly as we now understand them. Marvel even did some.

* Kristi Turnquist talks to Brian Michael Bendis. Charlie Chang talks to Van Jensen and Rob Venditti. Patrick A. Reed talks to Chip Kidd and Wendy and Richard Pini.

* finally, that is the best name for someone convicted of crimes related to insider trading, although that probably doesn't make the lives of his friends and family any brighter right now, or excuse the crime.
