Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* there are a bunch of photos of the flood-threatened Schulz Library at The Center For Cartoon Studies here, and again in Jen Vaughn's report here.

* David Hyde runs a bunch of links to general media coverage of DC's imminent re-launch.

* the writer and critic Rob Clough finally gets around to naming his top 50 from 2010. This is something I could make ample fun of if I had published mine in a reasonable time period instead of "not quite yet." His number one is a surprise (and not the book pictured at left).

* a Big Questions review round-up, in honor of the book's hometown launch. Keith Knight provides a bunch of links to recent interviews.

* the retailer and foundational comics blogger Mike Sterling celebrates one of the fun features in recent comics publishing history, the exhaustive indexes in the Complete Peanuts series.

* SLG publisher Dan Vado has done some self-inventory and would like your questions.

* Craig Thompson announces the artists to whom he once sent postcards tangentially related to their work, something I think stumped everyone.

* I thought it was weird at first to read the writer JM DeMatteis saying a quick goodbye to his JLI work in the context of DC's present universe fading, but the more I think things through, the more that comedic Justice League stuff could be argued a signature book of that quarter-century era, with little before or after that was like it.

* Todd Klein reviews John Byrne's Next Men #4. Sean Gaffney delves into Dorohedoro Vol. 4. Greg McElhatton takes a look at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 (another one?). Don MacPherson explores All Nighter #3. John Kane confronts Jack Kirby's The Losers. Johanna Draper Carlson flits from manga volume to manga volume and unpacks Little Nothings Vol. 4. Finally, Kate Dacey shakes Cage Of Eden Vol. 1 until it drops something.

* Michael Cavna posts his favorite Hurricane Irene-related cartoons.

* finally, a spot of nerdcore: a Michael Kupperman neck tattoo.
