Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Ruwan Jayatilleke on being named Senior Vice President, Associate Publisher at Marvel.

* a bunch of Brooklyn creative people, including several comics makers, have launched a site called Trip City. It's basically an on-line literary magazine as far as I can tell, although I'm sure someone out there might be explain to me why that description falls short. Here's the best and most succinct write-up on the effort I've read.

* hey, here's good news. Blake Bell is teaming up with the Edward Gibbon of the Atlas Comics period at Marvel, Dr. Michael J. Vassallo, to make a book for Fantagraphics drawing on both of their areas of interest. That could be really, really good.

* Martin Wisse points out that it's harder to stumble over comics when they cost a lot.

* Mike Lynch points out something I didn't know: Bruce Plante hides Ninas in his work.

* any Halloween links I find today are going here. For now, though, I can only find one. D+Q has a photo round-up on various affiliated cartoonists and their progeny.

* Brian Truitt talks to Scott Snyder. Curt Holman talks to Nathan Edmondson. Cyriaque Lamar talks to Peter Milligan.

* you know, now that I think about it, I'd want to fight anyone in the Marvel Universe before I fought a pissed-off Rocket Raccoon. He's basically ambulatory vermin with developed speech and opposable thumbs. Brrr. I'll take my chances with Man-Thing, thank you.

* Jim Mroczkowski makes an argument that Marvel is essentially rebooting the bulk of its serial comic line, just without making it into an event like DC did.

* I forgot where I picked up on a link this Kieron Gillen talking about a comic book series he's leaving, so apologies to that person, but this is the kind of thing that makes me think I would have adored the comics Internet as a young teen reading comics.

* Sean T. Collins caught that Dr. Ng Suat Tong has made annotations on the "Love Bunglers" story by Jaime Hernandez.

* Chad Nevett on Uncanny X-Men #1. Matt Seneca on Travel. Nicole Rudick on Gary Panter's latest art show. Ted Brown on Haunted World #1. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Astonishing X-Men Vol. 6.

* this Bernard Krigstein post from Bhob Stewart is a little all over the place, but like everything that Stewart writes about comics it's a lot of fun and comes from his valuable personal perspective.

* Rachel Cooke picks the ten best graphic novels, although I failed to catch Flames Of Gyro on my first pass through.

* Carolina Miranda writes an article about the intersection of the art world and the comics world, or something.

* finally, Comic Book Attic would like to sell you a digital collection of Jimmy Thompson Robotman stories.
