Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* I haven't been paying a bunch of attention to Inktober, the latest "let's all draw something" stunt in which many artists are participiating on-line, but I have enjoyed some of the little drawings I've seen as a result, like this Colossus by Mike Dawson.

* not comics: Iggy Pop apparently doesn't make enough money from music on which to live, and he blames in part the ability to access his work for free against his wishes that it be free. A good friend of mine insists it's a lot easier to conceive of what's going on here if you eliminate the idea of free from the discussion and realize that consumers now feel that in several ways that count they're already paying you with the time they spend consuming your work.

* Lauren Davis on In Real Life.

* ComicsAlliance has one of those funny Chris Haley comics up, this time on the Death Of Wolverine. At least I think Haley has done more than one of those comics.

* Chris Butcher posts a report on his trip to the Lakes Festival in 2013 just in advance of the 2014 version, now completed. The physical infrastructure of it looks amazing.

* not comics: Abhay Khosla reviews Birdman.

* finally, the hidden language of comic book writers.
