Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* you know yesterday was weird when DC could put up pages from the long-awaited Planetary #27 and no one noticed.

image* the cartoonist Bryan Lee O'Malley has a nice post up here about a sequence from Mochiru Hoshisato's Living Game.

* calling Scott Dunbier... so is it going to be "Dreck" or "Drock"?

* remember that odd DC Comics ad that featured the head of Supergirl cropped out of the image in favor of her breasts and midriff being placed front and center in the sight line of not only the reader but a group of DC's creepily over-fit, slightly assholish, 40-something male superheroes? Remember that some people thought it was just cropped that way for the purposes of the ad? It's okay if you don't. Anyway, it turns out that that's the way it's supposed to look. Plus: the character from my summer toothbrush when I was eight years old apparently endorses torture.

* finally, I have at best a very rough idea what Daryl Cagle's getting at in this blog post and cartoon, but the end result is either genuinely funny or he's-a-jerk funny and the nutso comments are choice as well.
