Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the critic and cultural historian Jeet Heer walks us through some of the translation choices that Robert Crumb has made with his Book of Genesis.

* the prominent stuffed animal/comics blogger Bully made me laugh with this post on the opening of an Alpha Flight comic that consists of panels without anyone in them. It's also a striking example of a kind of almost house art style that Marvel Comics had at the time. It's terrifying to think that we also create dreamworlds out of not-great comics if we read enough of them, but I have to admit: I know those rooms, and I've never read that comic.

* SLG announces its iPhone distribution choice. Frankly, I have no idea what to do with this kind of news.

* good question

* the artist and blogger Charles Yoakum talks about Joe Quesada's recent statements on the graphic novel.

* a longer-than-usual profile of Morrie Turner means it's probably better than usual, and this one is.

* the academic Craig Fischer profiles the very interesting work done by Robin Bougie.

* finally, why on earth would a comic book need to go through a continuity overhaul? That sounds awful. My own life, sure, but not a comic book.
