Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* one of the loopier places on the Internet post-Kirby/Marvel settlement is the Byrne Robotics forum, which is a very old-school message-boardy space. I can't even comprehend most of these arguments, although Andrew Farago bravely wades in.

* Dave Richards talks to Tom Brevoort and Jonathan Hickman about the latest Avengers cycle of stories, which involves a short "time jump" -- which means that you get a lot of abrupt plots shifts that are unpacked after they've already happened. It's not something unfamiliar to fans of those comics. Hickman is an interesting writer to have driving the main storylines of that fictional universe. He favors really baroque narrative construction, reasonably close to what was going on with that company in the 1970s or what Grant Morrison did at DC directly pre-New 52.

* not comics: Roman Muradov covers Best American Nonrequired Reading. Eleanor Davis illustrates female characters from Shakespeare.
