Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Chris Randle talks to Ron Mann. Jeffrey O. Gustafson profiles Steranko. Chris Mautner talks to Brian Ralph. Eva Volin talks to Hope Larson. Alex Dueben talks to a bunch of people: Jeff Smith, Ramona Fradon, Liniers, Matt Phelan and Rutu Modan.

* not comics: Batman, criminal.

* Johanna Draper Carlson notes the rare comics job opening, albeit one that requires command of the Japanese language.

* the best part about this blog entry from superior link-blogger Kevin Melrose is how thoroughly he contextualizes the subject matter. I would have gotten none of those.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco walks through the Villains Month promotion that DC recently put out there. He read the vast majority of titles. I did, too, although I didn't write about them, so all respect.

* we don't usually get con report this late anymore, but here is 2D Cloud on the recent SPX.

* Dominic Umile on Little Fish. David Brothers on One Punch Man. Rob Clough on Fairy Tale Comics. John Kane on a bunch of different comics. Grant Goggans on Geeks, Girls and Secret Identities. Sean Gaffney on Sickness Unto Death Vol. 1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Animal Man Vol. 3. Michael Buntag on Give My Regards To Black Jack Vols. 1-3. Jeffrey O. Gustafson on The Black Feather Falls Vol. 1. Kelly Thompson on Uncanny X-Men #12. Henry Chamberlain on God Hates Astronauts Vol. 1. Paul O'Brien on Cable & X-Force #10-14. Kris Bather on Unmasked #3. Jason Wilkins on Lil Vol. 1. Andrew Mansell on My Neighbor Totoro Picture Book. Johanna Draper Carlson on Comics Interview: The Complete Collection Vols. 1-2. Joe Gordon on Hinterkind #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comics.

* not comics: I'm not really such a superhero fan that I sit around dreaming up which ones would work on TV and in film and which ones wouldn't, but this piece by Tom Bondurant does seem to indicate that DC has a really rich character library. Or at least it seems that way to me.

* finally, Sean Kleefeld gives some thought to the first black hero in comics.
