Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the good folks at Creators have apparently relaunched their web site. The e-mail that accompanied the press release was kind of interesting because it described what the syndicate does in general terms and then presented the web site as a place not to achieve that end but to achieve the end of putting creators in touch with fans. That was my reading, anyway. It's a weird thing, an Internet strategy.

image* I am totally not the person that should be asked to pass the word on stuff like this, but I think it's worth noting in a general way, too: apparently word went out in late August that Jim Steranko was seeking to do some commissioned work. You'd probably have to double-check that both from a "I got around to this too late" way and a "I have no idea if this is true" way, but there it is.

* Rob Clough on Garage Band. Kate Dacey on Mahatma Gandhi. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Prophet and Glory. Sean Gaffney on Bunny Drop Vol. 6. Sterg Botzakis on Wizzywig. Shannon Smith on Life With Archie. Andrew Mansell on various comic strip collections. Matt Seneca and Sean Witzke on Solo #11. Rob Clough on Birdseye Bristoe.

* I love this panel.

* Ryan Ingram talks to Skottie Young.

* it's nice to hear that Elfquest will get a high-profile platform to do what sounds like a "final chapter" comic. I was wondering just the other day if in all of the Elfquest comics that had come out if there was an ending for the general group of characters from the first series.

* Alan David Doane is having Ed Brubaker- and Alan Moore-related auctions.

* well, duh.

* not comics: Sean T. Collins writes a bit about the work he's been doing covering the Game Of Thrones property. I've rarely been happier for someone not to follow my advice. While I might enjoy a Little, Big site, I doubt it would lead to a gig with Rolling Stone.

* finally, here's a preview of tomorrow's big gallery opening in Richmond.
