Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Alan Gardner over at Daily Cartoonist is doing a donations drive. Please consider donating if you're a reader of that site.

* about Bill Everett's family. I'm on this huge Bill Everett kick right now.

* Chris Sims walks us through Marvel's retailer resource center.

* Todd Klein on Absolute Sandman Vol. 5, War Of The Green Lanterns: Aftermath #1-2, George RR Martin's Doorways, The Last Dragon and The Invention Of Hugo Cabret.

* not comics: Matthias Wivel provides a rational-sounding report on the forthcoming (for US audiences) Tintin movie, including a clever suggestion as to something the director may be doing with his choice of villain.

* John Porcellino's tour takes him down to Chester, Illinois.

* Timothy Callahan looks at the Genesis project that Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek are doing, and has some thoughts about what makes Kirby characters work and not work for others. I'm not sure that I agree with half of the things he lays down as the law up top, which makes it sort of difficult to get into the rest of it, but I look forward to completing it.

* an illustration by Jillian Tamaki; sketches by Andi Watson.

* Tim J. Luddy talks to Michel Choquette. Laura Hudson talks to Matt Fraction. The Loikamania crew talks to Matt Fraction. Tim O'Shea talks to Jamie Cosley. Someone from CBR talks to Jim Pascoe and Paul Pope. Jonah Weiland talks to Blair Butler. Chris Mautner talks to Kevin Huizenga. Someone from TFAW.com talks to Andrew Chambliss. Zack Smith talks to Chris Roberson.

* this deserves its own pull-out: Deb Aoki talks to Hikaru Sasahara from Digital Manga.

* Kevin Czap describes the Cleveland scene; I'm grateful to read these scene reports assembled by Frank Santoro, particularly about place where I have no sense of the comics scene.

* finally, Marguerite Cook on crowd scenes.
