Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Joe Izenman takes a look at issues surrounding that depiction of South African President Jacob Zuma where they show him with exposed genitals. You heard me.

* Sean Kleefeld writes about Sky Masters and color.

* Paul Di Filippo on Birdseye Bristoe. Johanna Draper Carlson on Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales and Guinea Pig Pet Shop Private Eye Vols. 4-5. Paul O'Brien on various mainstream comics. Sterg Botzakis on Five Fists Of Science. Jennifer Cheng on The Shade #11. John Parker on Prophet. Rob Clough on Annie Sullivan And The Trials Of Helen Keller. Jeet Heer on Journalism. Michel Fiffe on Bruce Timm's He-Man mini-comics.

* I enjoy these old-school link-a-thon posts that Shannon Smith has been doing. I enjoy them because I steal from them, but I also enjoy them.

* it would be easy to make up some sort of facile analysis, but I'm not sure exactly what to do with this ugly-seeming profile of Ike Perlmutter. One way to look at things like that is to suggest they're pretty simple and straight-forward, while another way to interpret an article like that is as a salvo in a game far, far removed from my areas of interest. It's worth noting, though.

* Alex Dueben talks to Rick Remender. Jeffrey Brown talks to Marjane Satrapi. She's on the Mt. Rushmore of comics interview subjects; hard to have a bad time talking to Marjane Satrapi. Some nice person whose name I can't find talks to Dave Roman. Ken Eppstein on RM Rhodes. Rob McMonigal on Rich Barrett. Jonah Weiland talks to Joe Hill. Ed Piskor talks to Joshua Glenn. Bill Radford on the hyper-competent Amanda Emmert. Rob Tornoe profiles Matt Groening.

* this article on the Aomushi Showa Manga Library is the kind of thing for which I depend on TCJ.

* here's a profile of a West Virginia comics store people keep sending me.

* finally, I don't care which character dies as long as some character dies. The important thing is death. Death, death, death.
