Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* so according to this post at Johanna Draper Carlson's place, the FTC is going to make all bloggers and on-line reviewers reveal whether or not they got free copies. This seems weird from my perspective -- I just assume everyone gets everything for free with rare exceptions, but hey, whatever the law needs me to do. I sure hope this doesn't apply to the prostitutes purchased for me at conventions.

* I think J. Caleb Mozzocco is right to be fascinated by the title of this comic book.

* the critic Noah Berlatsky provides one of the better cross-media sales articles I've ever seen. I always took the low number of sales that comics have as a great opportunity for significant growth rather than a pinprick to the collective ego or as some sort of unreasonable demand that comics needs to match TV's or film's numbers. That's not what Berlatsky is saying, but it seems to me that's how these articles are invariably taken by many comics industry watchers.

* not comics: it probably says something about my state of mind that I was more peeved that this post credited the fine young film actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the dude from Third Rock than the latest round of soul-destroying Roman Polanski stupidity.

* go, look: Emily's Panel For Daddy.

* Rich Johnston draws our attention to the Cesar Feliciano family and the burden awaiting them due to severely high medical bills.

* finally, I love Brett Warnock's blog. It's like running into the Top Shelf co-publisher at the grocery store and having him talk your ear off for five minutes. Here's the latest update.
