Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here are the long lists for the forthcoming British Comic Awards; I like the idea of doing that. Although I have to imagine if you don't make the long list you're pretty bummed.

image* Richard Bruton on Transreality.

* David Berry talks to Jeet Heer. James Sturm talks to Connor Willumsen. Adam McGovern talks to Seth. Vaneta Rogers profiles Charles Soule.

* this passionately constructed post is really instructive if you have a passing interest in superheroes, or maybe a past interest, and you're sometimes confused by some of the criticisms the mainstream comic book lines will sometimes engender from passionate fans about a subset of issues, such as how a kind of character is represented or treated across the board. One thing about which I've written in the past that I think is super-interesting is the idea that you can be invested this thoroughly in a subset of your reading experiences.

* not comics: I don't know how I ended up with this in an open tab, but it's cute.

* finally, there was that time Dave Sim wrote to the New Yorker.
