Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Rob Clough on Alle Ego. Rob Clough on two mini-comics. Todd Klein on Green Lanterns #50. Sean Gaffney on Legend Of The Galactic Heroes: Tempest. Johanna Draper Carlson on Love Letters To Jane's World.

* I see more and more reports like this one from Jeff Parker, of items being taken off of tables. There are enough of them for me to think there's a driving factor, but god knows what it could be. There's no drastic shift in economic status although there are losses in health insurance and a general slowdown in wages earned. I think there's a general shamelessness in people asserting perceived needs and wants, although maybe not enough for book-swiping. It could just be an asshole among many assholes, which is an eternal problem. At any rate, watch your stuff.

* congratulations to Mike Luckovich, Charles Rodriguez and Gary Varvel for winning the Advancing American Democracy Award. I'm not sure what that even means, but okay. It does seem to be given out in honor of our greatest president, Benjamin Harrison.

* finally: that is a really interesting choice for first commercial offering featuring the Olivia Jaimes Nancy. I want one, too.
