Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Top Shelf's annual clear-the-decks discount sale ends today. That's become a key part of their publishing strategy, and there are some astounding books for sale. They're an advertiser, so this may be biased, compromised nonsense, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone that reads comics not finding some sort of huge deal on this list. Just the first three $3 books represent some fine comics reading, for less than $10.

* Sam Leith on Building Stories. Todd Klein on Dark Horse Presents #11. Erica Friedman on Yuri Yuri Manga Vol. 1. Greg McElhatton on Happy! #1.

* not comics: I completely never wondered what happened to this guy.

* I can't imagine a more entertaining few minutes to any comics fan's day than those available to them through this link.

* Alex Zalben talks to Hope Larson. David Uzumeri talks to Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson. Mega Garber talks to Randall Munroe. Heidi MacDonald talks to Matt Wagner. Michael Cavna talks to Mike Lester. Eraklis Petmezas talks to Rich Barrett and Henry Eudy.

* congratulations to Heidi MacDonald and Team Beat on their relaunch.

* Todd Klein takes a look at new lettering form Gaspar Saladino.

* Jim Rugg makes a 'zine.

* I take it back: $370 million clearly isn't enough to drive a settlement or auxiliary payment to any of the creators involved developing material used to make that Avengers movie.

* Ann Telnaes has made available an app directly related to the forthcoming election. I always wonder a bit how effective those are in terms of a lot of people seeing the content. In the wider scheme of things I'm grateful for people trying as many strategies as possible, at least for now.

* Brian Smith is leaving DC Comics.

* finally, Colleen Doran is selling a few of her cover paintings. I hope they find a nice home.
