Random Comics News Story Round-Up
* the
Columbus Dispatch checks in with Jeff Smith post-RASL.
* Philip Shropshire on
Prophet #26. Johanna Draper Carlson on
Hereville: How Mirka Met A Meteorite. Paul O'Brien on
various X-Men comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on
various picture books. Sean Gaffney on
A Certain Scientific Railgun Vol. 5. Dean Mullaney on
American Newspaper Comics. Sonia Harris on
Wizzywig. Gary Tyrrell on

* did you know that Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon
moved their blogging headquarters? I don't think I knew that.
* Phil Seuling talks to
Walter Gibson, Jack Kirby and Steranko. Teresa Messmore profiles
Tom Brevoort.
* Mike Sterling
wonders if they'll re-number
Hellblazer once the title hits issue #300. Three hundred comics is a lot of stories. You know? Like I really enjoy Jeeves and Wooster, but the thought of getting 65 stories featuring them -- or whatever that works out to -- seems like a lot to me. Then again, I've probably read 300 comics starring the Human Torch, and I'm not even particularly fond of the Human Torch.
* the single images in Al Hartley's religious comic book were indeed wonderful, and they can be used over and over in those situations where you need to have a single image. I don't know... party invites?
Oh, just go look at them.
* Rob McMonigal profiles
Koyama Press.
* the writer and artist Rob Liefeld
has quit his work at DC Comics due to what sounds like some really involved editing that made difficult the process of getting work done. Or something. I would imagine that most people that don't need the work and/or are at certain points in their careers would not want to work for a mainstream comics publishing house right now.
* RC Harvey
writes at length on Richard Thompson and
Cul De Sac, pulling a bunch of cartoonists and comics people into the essay with him.
* Bluewater has switched to an alternative distributor for its line of biographies and related works.
Graeme McMillan has the best write-up I've seen. It's hard for me to imagine this having a big effect on things, although this also seems to follow the general trends for and treatment of print comics publication.
* finally,
Marc Tyler Nobleman looks at documents related to Bill Finger's death.
