Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Paul O'Brien on Cyclops Vol. 1. Paul Constant on The Wrenchies and The Best American Comics 2014. That strikes me as the best one in that series, too. Marc Maron on Pirates In The Heartland. Marykate Jasper on The Fade-Out #2. John Kane on a bunch of different comics. Carla Hoffman on Captain America #25.

* congratulations to Mike Peters on 30 years of his syndicated strip Mother Goose & Grimm.

* it isn't exactly comics, and certainly the core of it isn't, but I have to imagine the overall reaction will be super-negative to what may be one of the dumbest interviews I've read in recent times, and I read a ton of interviews. Good. It deserves a bad reaction. It's sort of comics because of the connection to the upcoming New York con's week of related, ancillary promotions; the interviewee is apparently in charge of a Nickelodeon TV retrospective. While it's dumb because of the aggrieved tone and poorly constructed worldview, some of the specific analysis seems strained, too, and not always reflective of reality -- particularly for someone that did a book.

* Blake Northcott talks to Scott Snyder. Tim O'Shea talks to Steve Ekstrom. Richard Gehr profiles Zachary Kanin.

* not comics: confidence and hyperbole are dominant modes on the Internet because the Internet is about winning arguments within its context rather than informing a broader one encompassing reality.

* Kate Leth reflects on one year of doing her Kate Or Die comic at ComicsAlliance.

* finally, Michael A. Johnson on aspects of Fabrice Neaud's work.
