Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* a pair of The Beat writers on Doom Patrol #1.

* Paul Morton talks to Ben Kachor.

* hey, look: it's Jo Knowles

* Mike Sterling considers the Fantastic Four concept and characters created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, and the notion that this is a property whose story has been told enough times that it would thwart revival no matter how talented the creators involved might be. I think there's something to a standard set of storylines becoming tired over a long period of time. A concept that can be radically shifted multiple times is more a less a drawing on a page onto which anyone can project meaning.

* the difficulties of covering an absurd national campaign for a considerable length of time.

* I would enjoy reading 2400 pages of Death Note. I enjoyed reading however many pages were in that version was that came in what looked like a 45 RPM records box. That series is a lot of fun.

* not comics: Mark Evanier fields an interesting letter about people critical of working in entertainment media, period. I didn't know there were a lot of people like that left, given how dominant various media companies happen to be right now.

* finally, I don't know what's going on here, but it made me laugh.
