Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* it's not really comics, but the great writer Bob Levin sent along this 2013 SVA graduation address from Greil Marcus suggesting I might like it and think it has something to say to readers of this site. I did and I think it does.

image* Petra Mayer talks to Gene Luen Yang. Chris Arrant talks to Hank Kanalz. Raighne Hogan talks to Rob Kirby.

* there's a major preview by Charles McGrath here of Art Spiegelman's exhibit opening at the Jewish Museum next week. That should be an awesome sight to behold.

* the Plain-Dealer has a profile up on the news Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum digs, two weeks away from the grand opening festival.

* Scott Keys on The Fox #1. Brett Schenker on The Fox #1. Jacob Schraer on Woman Rebel. Sean Gaffney on Love In Hell Vol. 1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of comics-shop comics. Colm Creamer on Savage Wolverine #9. Joe Gordon on The Sandman: Overture #1. Richard Bruton on Knight And Dragon. Rob Clough on a bunch of mini-comics.

* Johanna Draper Carlson reminds us to note the Megan Rose Gedris story. The thought of taking that much word down because the contract is such that you can't even work in mutually beneficial partnership with the rights holder is super-depressing.

* finally, Frank Santoro talks to Sean T. Collins here about the current state of criticism about comics. This is something I never thought of as having a state so it's hard for me to wrap my mind around what they're talking about conceptually. On the other hands, there's a lot of meat in the individual lines and tossed-off asides that it's easy not to care if some sort of theory is explicated.
