Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* the CBLDF has filed a brief in support of affirming the unconstitutionality of a ban on video game rentals to minors in a high-profile California case

* Nick Abadzis' take on Wonder Woman for next month's art auction named for the character is pretty awesome.

* not comics: that I laughed at this is basically the reason I can't participate in discussions about what people make in comics where there's an assumption that X, Y, Z amount is too little/just right.

* Tim Hodler strongly recommends a Ray Davis essay.

* Fantagraphics has pictures and video of a Moebius strip comic Jim Woodring did as part of their weekly round-up of webcomics.

* this is kind of cool, if you follow the references: the Batman, Inc. storyline featuring a "Batman Of Japan" will apparently use a Jiro Kuwata villain.

* who among us couldn't have used this book at one time?

* not comics: Mike Dawson, Freddie Mercury expert.

* I liked this Evan Dorkin commission. I would think Evan Dorkin would be a good person from whom to get a commission, because I can't imagine him not doing his best on something like that.

* it's easy to get depressed or at least slightly befuddled when you look at bizarrely-targeted comics and think about who they're targeting, but the way around that is to remember that for the most part comics is a niche market not a mass market, so it's really just one niche being favored in addition to or a tiny bit over another, and that the emphasis can shift pretty severely without having to change the minds of a giant, mainstream audience.

* this is what I think Grant Morrison is like in real life.

* not comics: Graeme McMillan points out that maybe Warners is turning to its DC Comics properties too late to make the proper use of them.

* finally, is it a longer shot that a 47th iteration of Heroes For Hire get over, or that Paladin would be a part of anything that gets over?
