Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* hooray! Marvel is reinvesting in its retailers with a formal support program. Boo! It sounds like it has severe problems.

image* the great Drew Friedman will be a guest of Jerry Lewis at the MDA Telethon this year. Explanation here. This is the best week of comics news ever!

* not exactly comics, but certainly as strange as everything else that's been put out there this week: Jeff Smith meets Wonder Woman. Because the question may flash into your head, Ms. Carter is 58 years old.

* when in doubt, read Killjoy.

* the art appreciator Robert Boyd explores why one Chester Gould strip has an asking price for $175,000 when many others can be had for less than $1000.

* the writer Brigid Alverson takes a longer than average look at the nominees for Best On-Line Comic.

* there's something about this that says "CCI overcrowding solution." Seriously, though, that's a nice thing for the NCS to do and a great experience for the participating NCS members to have.

* it makes sense that there are Naruto stamps, but that doesn't mean it's not weird. (I forget where I got this, sorry.)

* not comics: I think I'm with the terrifying lady on this one.

* this is the first post-release look at the Lewis Trondheim phone comics effort that I can recall seeing.

* the First Second Editor Calista Brill talks about what an editor is, as it's come up.

* finally, Sean Kleefeld digs into the Zuda interface, and it sounds like it's still as screwy as when many of you went there the first day and said, "Um, okay... yeah... hope the good ones come out on paper."
