Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Brian Doherty looks at the art of curating comics.

* the Fairfax Connection profiles Carolyn Belefski.

image* go, bookmark: Vice now has a page devoted to its comics-related articles.

* this Matt Fraction interview with Laura Hudson escaped my attention until someone e-mailed me about it, but it's quite long and involved and, as is usual with the writer, stuffed with insight and compelling asides. There's a new Love & Rockets out?

* you may be familiar with the Kirby Crackle, but have you ever seen Joe Maneely's?

* Rob Clough on three new anthologies. Tucker Stone on a few issues of last decade's intriguing and I think two-series run with the Cable character. Greg McElhatton on Troop 142. Brian Hibbs on the new #1 issues of Justice League and Action Comics. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Two Face: Year One. Johanna Draper Carlson on My Boyfriend Is A Monster: Made For Each Other.

* oh, so that's where that went.

* not comics: Adrian Tomine illustrates Haruki Murakami.

* Jared Gardner has a new column over at TCJ, which looks like he'll be basically writing for old people and nostalgists -- perfect for me!

* not comics: Buzz Dixon compares pornography to Christian media.

* not exactly comics: this post asks after the cultural effect of 9/11 on superhero effort across various media. I imagine that the real answer is that it's both deeper than we think and very hard to exactly describe, but saying so would make for a pretty horrible essay.

* finally, Robin McConnell talks to Craig Thompson.
