Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* wait, a color one of these things means comics for everyone, right?

* here's some love for a demented Batman newspaper strip story.

* it looks like a fine discussion of proto-graphic novels is starting up on Comics Comics.

* not comics 01: as I'm going to suppose will be the case with the economy generally, there are valleys in terms of employment and profits in the newspaper industry yet to be crossed.

* the great Steve Duin runs a great essay by Gary Groth pooping all over Superman. We all need to do our part to make "lintheads" part of the general comics vernacular.

* not comics 02: everyone deserves one foul-mouthed teacher who the moment you graduate begins telling you all sorts of humiliating stories about the other faculty members. Goodbye, Mrs. Wasson. You would have had something funny and mean to say about this blog.

* the talented Dave Roman is accepting requests for free magazines.

* not comics 03: about five of my friends have sent me the link to this profile of James Cameron in The New Yorker. It's filled with enough jaw-droppers you'll soon see why. He seems like an awful, awful man, although I imagine the kind of self-belief he evinces is necessary to function in that world a certain way. A line from Linda Hamilton made me laugh.

* finally, this line in a DC solicitation as republished here sort of captures the self-regard and madness of many titles today. "After things heated up in a firefight with the Red Tornado and Red Torpedo, Red Volcano has gone solo, abandoning his 'little brother', the Red Inferno." Words cannot describe how little that makes me want to buy this comic.
