Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Diamond's book distribution arm will handle Tokyopop's business in the UK and Ireland.

* let the final countdown to the latest, giant Joe Sacco book begin!

image* one thing that's cool about this little post of covers that the group blog The Cool Kids Table enjoyed over their first year is that I don't get to look at that many quality mainstream covers. Even when I did live in a town with a comics shop the wall of comics approach tended to be something I looked away from rather than looked over, so I've long enjoyed this kind of thing. (via)

* here's a really cool old fanzine page.

* and here's a really cool black and white photo.

* this interview with Eric Reynolds is interesting enough and his daughter is adorable enough you won't if you're of a certain age in comics be freaked out by the white in his bear.

* I love the title of this interview with Evan Dorkin.

* here's an SPX thing that's gone up recently that's worthwhile enough to pull out and spotlight: Sean Collins transcribed his "New Action" panel.

* not comics: I sort of like this Hulk journal. I have no idea why you'd want a little Hulk on your journal, but there it is.

* finally, Marvel signs yet another license. It doesn't sound like much, but Marvel's ability to secure high-level partners for projects like this is something that's distinguished the company post-bankruptcy era as much as just about any movie they've done.
