Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Rina Piccolo reminds us that the deadline for applications for this year's Jay Kennedy scholarship is closing fast. Jay Kennedy was a very nice man, and I miss seeing him a couple of times a year.

* Dan Zettwoch draws the families Melon and Gilmore.

* James Smart on The Wrong Place. Don MacPherson on Just The Usual Superpowers. J. Caleb Mozzocco on Uncanny X-Force Vol. 1. Dave Ferraro on Princess Knight Vol. 1. Leroy Douresseaux on Saturn Apartments Vol. 4. David P. Welsh on not simple. Rob Clough on Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010. Paul Di Filippo on The Death-Ray. Chris Sims on Mudman #1.

* Tom Richmond on the MAD SCAD weekend.

* Graeme McMillan suggests that the net effect of three Fear Itself epilogues was to walk back "real-world" changes made by the Marvel event series.

* I'm not amazed by the amount of money involved here as much as I am by the number of words on the page. Plus I liked the way Byrne and Austin's art looked in those last half-dozen X-Men issues they did together.

* Garry Trudeau joins Team Cul-De-Sac.

* Jeffrey Renaud talks to James Robinson, Darwyn Cooke and J. Bone. Chris Mautner talks to Anne Koyama. Josie Campbell talks to Chris Roberson. Shaun Manning talks to Ian Brill. Stacy Hawkins Adams talks to Jeff Kinney. Mike Dawson talks to Noah Van Sciver and MariNaomi. Charles Brownstein talks to you.

* look behind the sofa?

* Greg Pak has a page up where fans can donate to the ongoing care for the writer Bill Mantlo. I hope that you'll consider pledging something; that's a rotten deal for the writer turned socially active lawyer.

* Frank Santoro and Jim Rugg present this week's Super-Villain Team-Up.

* I spent some time this year cracking on DC for not developing more of its character library, so it behooves to mention that this looks like just that kind of thing. "Amethyst" is such a great name for a magical princess it practically sells the concept all by itself.

* finally, Matt Seneca looks at one of those awesome Frank King Sunday comics where he did a sequential strip over a single image.
