Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Gary Tyrrell picks up on some good news -- the Ted Rall/Matt Bors/Steven Cloud cartooning team is out of war-torn Afghanistan and into politically torn but decidedly much safer Iran. That's nice to hear.

image* as if solely to please me, TCJ offers up a short talk between Anne Ishii and Johnny Ryan on Detroit Metal City.

* are two Batmen better than one? I think every town in the DCU should have at least two Batmen: one to fight crime, and one to get hit in the balls.

* even better than a conference in conjunction with NYCC would be to announce such a thing in a timely enough fashion that the folks who don't live in New York City who have to make their travel arrangements more than five weeks in advance could have attended -- doing so automatically just in case there's a conference could put you in town a day early with nothing to do (as was the case with the conference-less CCI this year). Luckily, no one covering comics lives outside of New York.

* he still talks like this at times.

* I kind of enjoyed this look at the Harvey Awards' best new talent winners. Not a Starland Vocal Band, Christopher Cross or Milli Vanilli in the bunch.

* this is really cute if the reference comes easily to you, and still pretty cute if you have to have it explained to you.

* finally, I'm saving up this Guardian profile of Posy Simmonds until I make a really good cup of coffee.
