Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* it's a comic and a beer. How Tony Millioniare didn't do this first, nobody knows.

* I'm saving up this discussion between critics Jog and Matt Seneca about movie adaptations focused on Steranko's version of Outland and Kirby's take on 2001 for a long coffee break. I can't imagine it not being at least pretty good.

* after I finish that, it's onto this list of 50 essential manga for libraries.

* not comics: you'll get no argument from me.

* Fantagraphics reports there may be slight shipping delays to their moving their warehouse/shipping center.

* Tim Kreider on Cathy. Tim Kreider's writing about comics is always very welcome.

* not comics: another look at how box office flops are made, a subject that applies to a lot of comics-related films this year.

* not comics: I'm not sure what's sadder, the fact that I spent a bunch of time reading an interview with the wrestler Kane about libertarianism when I had other things I should have been doing, or that I initially thought he made up the phrase "Austrian economics." Okay, you're right, it's definitely the latter. Bodyslammed by Kane!

* Cliff Chiang talks about other artists.

* Charles Hatfield remembers the great and difficult Paul Conrad.

* fun comics scan find at Robot 6 concerning Steve Ditko.

* finally, Mark Millar is auctioning off another character's name for charity, this time the lead in what sounds like some slight spin on Superman that will immediately be sold to a movie producer. It's hard to be too snarky about it when PR and charity meet and make a little press-ready baby, though.
