* advice on how to become a superstar from Brian Michael Bendis.

* Hillary Chute talks to Jules Feiffer. Caleb Goellner talks to Gene Yang. Joe talks to Johnny Ryan.

* Andrew Wheeler writes about the fragile state of existence for many of the gay and lesbian characters in the Marvel Universe.

* this site is a lot of fun, and I'll probably do a "go, look" with it at some point. I'm interested in the Dave Cockrum and John Byrne as it intersects with their major X-Men runs, and in the works of others like Steve Rude more generally. I think this is something the Internet does pretty well, this kind of scattered dive into the deep end of the pool, arrangements of material by certain organizing principles that might not sustain book or magazine production.

* Sean Kleefeld, t-shirt marketer.

* not comics: Sean Collins' piece on The East Meets West Portfolio runs a lot of the work, so you can see for yourself.

* if you've been following the Image Comics "Who's Next?" photography campaign, this is pretty funny; if not, it's at least pretty odd.

* finally, Jeffrey O. Gustafson engages with Alan Moore's take on comics.
