Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* he let me know about it approximately two hours after this week's "crowd-funding" column went up, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get on Matt Bors' kickstarter project. No one's had a better year than Bors, he's reliable enough to make something good with the money, and we need to get him as much attention as possible so he settles into one of the half-dozen remaining good editorial cartooning gigs as soon as someone wises up and hires him.

* Mike Greear is thinking about love.

* Allan Holtz profiles Foster M. Follett. Adrian Hedden profiles T. Casey Brennan. Cynthia Clark Harvey talks to Carol Tyler.

* Shannon Smith will be re-reviewing The Invisibles right up to the apocalypse date named in that series. I always think of The Invisibles as a precursor to a lot of modern mainstream series in that it used multiple artists unpacking Morrison's vision, to I think mixed results.

* Mark Mayerson on Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. Dominic Umile on Think Tank. Ryan Anderson on The Last Romantic Anti-Hero.

* there hasn't been the usual rush of Halloween-related comics posting that usually happens this time of year, but here's a nice one from the Billy Ireland people.

* the Swann Foundation has announced mid-February 2013 as the next deadline for their academics-on-comics money award. I'm sure that specific information is somewhere on here. It was certainly in the 1978-style press release they sent out. If you're a comics academic, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

* finally, buildings based on lower-body wear are always funny.
