* RM Rhodes penned an interesting article here about how folks should channel their dissatisfaction with the actions of mainstream comics companies. The two best broad points -- and I think they could be argued specific example to specific example as much as I appreciate the general take -- are that sometimes these companies have different motivations than whatever value that fans wish for them, and that these companies react poorly to certain attempts at outside-in change just on a structural basis. I think these are good points, as well as the notion that sometimes we're working with incomplete information that might change the way we look at a specific incident -- or at least provide a different context for how it happened other than someone actively acting in that direction.
