Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on Sakuran. Michael Buntag on Batman: Earth One. Andrew Hickey on Doctor Who. Philip Shropshire on "Fracking." Alan David Doane on A Treasury Of XXth Century Murder: Lovers Lane. Sean Gaffney on I Don't Like You At All, Big Brother!! Vols. 1-2. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of comic-shop comics. Rob Clough on Fox Bunny Funny.

* I'm not sure this isn't a personal attack.

* Steve Morris talks to Val Staples. Rob McMonigal profiles Box Brown and Noah Van Sciver.

* wow, look at this Soft City stuff.

* I followed this guy and I have no interest in the resulting comic.

* a bunch of not comics today: 1) This is pretty cute. I like off-model portraits of stuff generally and would probably buy an entire book of Godzilla portraits done in different styles. Okay, no, I wouldn't, but I would think about asking for a review copy. 2) These should sell pretty darn well. 3) Mark Evanier tells a story about William Windom that makes him a model for an artist negotiating criticism. 4) Hey, new Lightning Bolt.

* you know, I sort of like these ads, too; I don't think I always like the photos used, but I tend to like the campaign entire.

* finally, this doesn't strike me as a controversial cartoon as much as a not-good one that wants to be controversial.
