Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Johanna Draper Carlson notes that Viz has gone to same day digital releases, or whatever string of words is being used to describe digital comics coming out the same day as print comics.

* missed it: Dave Lasky has a little Frank King gallery up here.

* Rob Clough on various mini-comics. Ryan Holmberg on Abstract Comics. Christopher Allen on Troop 142. Grant Goggans on Nikolai Dante.

* I scanned this article on that terrible-looking Stan Lee documentary, saw that the writer claims Lee helped create Captain America, and didn't feel the need to read the piece. Well, actually, I know I should have read the piece but I don't need the blood-pressure issues. That's just terrible; there are literally dozens of pretty good to excellent writers about comics right now and I'm sure the Chicago Sun-Times would have access to several if they wanted them.

* Derik A. Badman discusses comics and poetry.

* I'm not sure I agree with the definition of graphic novel vs. comic book expounded upon here or the need to expound upon it, but I'm always happy when people take such issues seriously.

* Brandon Graham draws the Koyama Press logo. Jim Blanchard makes a great-looking trashcan. Faith Erin Hicks draws Dazzler.

* Dean Mullaney profiles Dick Moores. It's like Gasoline Alley Day. I'd complain, but every day should be Gasoline Alley Day. Roger Ash talks to Eric Reynolds and Philip Nel. Michel Fiffe throws some love in the direction of Kerry Gammill. Kieron Gillen talks to Adam Cadwell. Paul Gravett talks to Glyn Dillon.

* this extended set of musings from Frank Santoro is a lot of fun.

* Josh Kopin has written a longish essay about Ed Brubaker's time at Marvel and his approach to superhero comics. Brubaker will likely do work at Marvel in the future, of course, but this phase of his career has definitely ended.

* not comics: a John Porcellino mug and plate.

* Sonia Harris on male superheroes as rock stars/drag queens.

* here's a sneak-peek photo of the new MoCCA space. If all the MoCCA stuff this summer made you wonder what Kristen Siebecker is up to these days, Gary Tyrrell will inform you.

* finally, Kevin Wilson loves Dick Dillin's art.
