Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Sean Gaffney on Assassination Classroom Vol. 5. Rob Clough on the latest from Jonathan Baylis. Nick Gazin on a bunch of different comics. Jim Dandeneau on a bunch of different comics. Aditya Mani Jha on Fante Bukowski.

* Graham Chaffee does indeed draw an excellent dog.

* Chris Pitzer is looking forward to SPX. Nice photos.

* this person would like you to know all about the Superman comics right now. At some point I'm going to write for TCR about mainstream comics of this general type, but I agree that Gene Luen Yang, John Romita JR, Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder are about as good of a pair of teams across two of those books as DC's had in years and years.

* Ta-Nehisi Coates writes about Secret Wars. That is one heavyweight of a culture writer weighing in. It's a short piece, but Coates makes good points about reading comics in the 1970s and 1980s in order to fight boredom and the way comics written by Jonathan Hickman (in this case drawn by Esad Ribic) can be confusing in a virtuous way.

* not comics: this should make any child of 1980s superhero comics smile.

* hey, it's Ink Panthers Mike and Alex.

* Carolina A. Miranda talks to Leah Hayes. Rocco Castoro talks to Johnny Ryan.

* I have never heard of a blog tour, probably because the way I schedule my part would happen six weeks after the tour ended.

* finally, look at all the stuff that D&Q is doing with their retail space.
