Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* no one on the comics Internet has been more dependable in recent weeks than Jog, and this piece about the Crumb Genesis project and a very different kind of Crumb project is about par for the course. A very, very tough course.

* the second season of Comix Claptrap kicks off with an interview with Jaime Hernandez.

* the writer Steven Grant goes to APE and I believe invents the basic webcomics revenue model (I kid because I love).

* the writer Sean T. Collins continues to follow the Reed/Wizard "con war" into nooks and crannies where only a very brave person might go. Guest star: Scott Kurtz.

* has anyone ever heard of a "Jack Cribbs" that was acquainted with the late Allan Kurzrok? .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

* if nearly a thousand lunatics are able to afford $1000 motorcycle bat suits, does that mean the recession's over?

* I don't really follow the NY Times graphic novels bestsellers list -- I maintain a slight distrust of the methodology in terms of where it might put the list entire on the positive good/positive bad specture -- but that Bloom County book hit #1, which is nice for them. That was a project with some degree of worry to it in terms of the amount of work put in and if sales would justify reprinting that work right now.

* finally, I'm not sure it will stay like this, but at 10:17 PM ET last night, almost the entire Wizard site was gone.
