Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Sherlock Holmes is officially in the public domain and I officially really don't understand stuff like public domain.

* Todd Klein on Astro City #15.

* Seattle is a city of literature because Fantagraphics.

* there are several fun comics to be read in this Grant Morrison-related comiXology sale: We3, Seaguy, Doom Patrol... I think I liked every comic listed except that Kid Eternity one. The one they're showing when I write this may not even be a Grant Morrison one, but I didn't like Morrison's, either.

* Jonah Weiland talks to James Robinson. Michael Bradley talks to Rian Hughes.

* Gary Tyrrell takes a brisk walk through the dominance of Raina Telgemeier and Kazu Kibuishi on the paperback graphic novels list, and muses on how great it is that reader of a certain age have fine comics over which to claim personal, immediate ownership.

* as we all know, "Paste Pot Pete" is a wonderful name for a comic book character: it's memorable, distinctive, weird and menacing.

* congratulations to Mike Sterling, who reports from Day One of his new store, a soft opening rather than a big party. He's an experienced comics retail manager, so how he approaches his store is likely to be a bit different from those that might come over to comics retail from other industries. I'm sure I'll enjoy whatever he wants to tell us about this experience.

* finally, Howard Chaykin holds forth at a convention. It's fun to read even a report of Chaykin expressing his opinions on things.
