Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* best wishes and good luck to Ian Brill, who has left his editor's position at BOOM! to try his hand at writing full-time.

* you're keeping up with the increasingly odd fantasy series Destructor, right?

* I know this won't be accessible to everyone, but Jay Lynch has a nice post up on Facebook about Filipino comics.

* check out these cool-looking Wally Wood pencils.

* Mike Rhode gears up for this weekend's Small Press Expo by talking to various cartoonists hitting the area: Alexis Fajardo and Keith Knight thus far. Tim O'Shea keeps marching to the beat of his own drummer, presenting an interview with color artist Elizabeth Breitweiser.

* I really do enjoy these old promotional images, even when they're not exactly promotional images.

* those Kim Deitch memoir-style essays through music over at TCJ have all been vastly entertaining; you can read this one as a stand-alone if you want, as it's stuffed with intimate details of the underground comix era.

* Josh Kopin reviews Justice League #1. As does Christopher Allen. Todd Klein looks at Legion Of Super-Heroes #12, Adventure Comics #525 and Green Lantern #67. Rob Clough dives into recent volumes of Graphic Classics. Greg McElhatton looks at Wandering Son Vol. 1. Don MacPherson is crazy. So is Steve Sunu. Ed Sizemore gets into Tank Takuro.

* Marc-Oliver Frisch picks up on a massive DC failure to publish a recent month's worth of books as they said they would according to the solicitations. This should end with the New 52 initiative, and I imagine that it was the cause as well.

* the veteran comics industry pundit Alan David Doane has one of his semi-frequent, comics-related auctions up and running.

* the writer and critic Chris Mautner recommends six books from Sparkplug Comic Books as part of the ongoing effort to direct people to consider buying books from its ailing, highly-regarded publisher Dylan Williams.

* I can't imagine there will be much more fun out there to be had on the comics Internet the next several days than following stuffed-animal blogger Bully on a scan-heavy trip through Atlas/Seaboard.

* finally, Martin Wisse looks at Tim O'Neil's look at cartoonist Dave Sim and Cerebus.
