Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* I love the Evan Dorkin Namor strip at the bottom of this post. I think we should all start working to make Namor the most popular character in mainstream comics 2010-2019. It can happen.

* the group blog Hooded Utilitarian is engaging Sandman while there's still some time left in this anniversary year.

* Sean Kleefeld has a few thoughts about comics folk and health care. They are really, really depressing thoughts, but you should read them anyway.

* that is quite the heavy-hitting line-up in today's birthdays, by the way.

* help support Thomas Nast for the NJ Hall of Fame. I'm not sure how you'd do that, but you could at least think good thoughts.

* you can preview an issue of the current Luna Brothers series The Sword here.

* for an impressive two-part interview with the great Jerry Moriarty, go here.

* not comics: was anyone else who watched the almost heel turn-quality Michael Jordan Hall of Fame acceptance speech reminded of how Charles Schulz seemed to carry around all those early newspaper rejections with him all those years? I may just read too many comics.

* finally, CBR has a long piece up on the Fall convention season. Just seeing the words "Fall convention season" all together in a row made my stomach hurt, because other than a few SPX's back in the day they've never been part of my comics repertoire. But conventions seem to do better than comics these days, so enough crowded together in one season to make its own season is perfectly sensible. That Shamus convention icon is really stupid-looking, by the way. It looks like the convention poster some guy put together for the comic book episode of Murder, She Wrote.
