Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to new Black Panther writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, one of the few people with a comics element in their professional lives to win a MacArthur Grant.

* Rob Clough on The Cigar The Fell In Love With A Pipe. Sunny on Howard The Duck Vol. 00.

* not comics: Al Columbia draws a house. His craft chops are ridiculous, and everything he draws suggests disturbance and terror.

* Noah Berlatsky would like to tell you why xkcd is the 21st Century's best comic. I'm not sure that's true, but it's fun to hear the argument and I think that's a considerable comic, far more so than a lot of people realize.

* the writer Mark Millar would like to throw the spotlight on some young talent by having them do stories with his characters.

* not comics: they should just hand these out in giant bowls on the lighted table in the North Bethesda Marriott lobby, like a kind of nerd Olympic village.

* not sure how these got into my folder, but I enjoyed looking at these two pieces of art from Tatsuyuki Tanaka.

* writer and cartoonist Ariel Schrag shares her NYC-centric bucket list.

* here's a comic about that very odd "vote to kill robin" promotion DC did once upon a time. It was certainly memorable, and at times I wonder if that would play differently now.

* finally, when Superman is fat.
