Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Johanna Draper Carlson on Last Of The Sandwalkers. James Whitbrook on the 73rd chapter of Batman '66. Rob McMonigal on Basewood. Greg Burgas on Baba Yaga's Assistant. Shawn Starr on Romance Story. Ken Parille on a Dan Clowes image.

* a tour of Gosh! Comics.

* this piece on one of the DC animated shows drives attention to a little-discussed fact about the comic books, that many of them are interpreted by readers via initial exposure to characters and genre that take place in media outside of comics. I'm not sure that the comics companies themselves fully take stock of this element of their readership, even though they pay lip service to doing so.

* Brigid Alverson talks to Jennifer Hayden. Ziah Grace talks to John Layman.

* I know that there is officially a lot going on comics-wise in my new city of Columbus, Ohio, because I totally missed an event and didn't figure it out until more than a week later. Sounds like a good one if it's near you, though.

* not familiar with these comics, but they're really cute.

* James Whitbrook discusses eight similar X-Men storylines. One problem with having these characters around for so many issues is that the narratives begin to repeat in a way that exhausts those concepts.

* finally, Bully is the best.
