Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* here's more from Sean Howe's Marvel book.

* Mark Athitakis on Building Stories. Brian Truitt on Sailor Twain. Rob Clough On Are You My Mother? Greg McElhatton on Uncle Scrooge: Only A Poor Old Man. Christopher Allen on Daredevil: End Of Days #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on various comic-book comics.

* hey, here's a contest I'm not going to vet so be careful.

* here's a list of good pieces of comics criticism, all linked up by Ng Suat Tong. I agree with Suat that I found that site's recent focus on "hate" a little peculiar -- it seems that negative reviews, even extreme ones, should be part of every critic's regular production and shouldn't be noteworthy at all. But I get the context we work in now, and I bet it worked in terms of driving attention to those pieces.

* Danielle Hatch profiles Jp Pollard.

* Sean Kleefeld notes an original Eisner is for sale. I don't all the way know how many Eisners are out there in circulation. My memory is that some are, but they're generally moved from the estate into the hands of private collectors as opposed to kind of working their way through the standard marketplaces for such things.

* not comics: Lucy Knisley ponders grown-up jobs.

* here's a funny post about a few of Gus Mager's less credible claims.

* finally, here's high praise for Tim Kreider's illustrated book of essays, We Learn Nothing. I think that's a good book, and you should buy it.
