Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Oni renews with Diamond Book Distributors; I agree with Milton Griepp that this assume more importance since Dark Horse moved to Random House.

image* Jonah Weiland talks to Dean Haspiel. Jeffrey Renaud talks to Jeff Kinney. Marc Kleinhenz talks to Chuck Dixon. Kazuya Miki profiles Sato Ito. Joel Warner profiles William Kuskin.

* Brigid Alverson calls attention to a profile of a coffee/comics shop.

* a new Toronto store is profiled. It may be only my imagination, and the overall measure of this kind of thing is distorted by the higher-end examples, but it seems to me that whenever I see a store now the physical space is at least pretty good. I mean, I remember a day of shopping in converted church basements, but still.

* J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different Vertigo titles.

* this profile of the exhibit Marvels and Monsters focuses on that traveling exhibit's attention to stereotypes in popular/junk literature. That's a solid profile overall. That show runs until early February.

* finally, Tom Bondurant gets into the whole Captain Marvel/Marvelman/Miracleman history, although not the hardcore legal kind of history.
