Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Leela Corman and Tom Hart on Molly Rose Corman-Hart.

* looks like the folks at DanielClowes.com are having another contest in conjunction with the release of another print.

image* Rob Clough on The End Of The Fucking World and Digestate. Tucker Stone on a bunch of different works. Richard Pachter on various comics. Stephen Walker on TV Action #64. Dan Hill on Wild Children. John Kane on a bunch of different comics. Jordan Smith on a bunch of different old comics. Sean Gaffney on Bunny Drop Vol. 9. Grant Goggans on a bunch of different Legion Of Super-Heroes comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comic-store comics.

* the very good writer-about-comics Hayley Campbell has left Gosh Comics and is pursuing a specific opportunity elsewhere.

* Bob Temuka writes about Ghost Rider's fabulous flaming head.

* indeed, I am very much not laughing.

* Corey Blake bemoans the relative lack of diversity in the efforts of market leaders Marvel and DC. I'm sympathetic to the points being made, although in the end I tend to be confused by these sorts of criticisms, I think because for me this kind of material tends to fail in a lot of different ways and not just -- or even primarily -- this one.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco on two moments in one of those Red Lantern comics, where one of them is cool and one of them isn't. The thing I can't figure out is how a comic where people vomit blood on other people and make testicle jokes isn't at least entertaining to me. Because I read that comic, and it was kind of a chore.

* finally, Shannon Wheeler has an Etsy shop.
