Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Mr. Rogers and the Thing

* not comics: according to a funny post by Warren Ellis, they're trying Global Frequency as a TV show again. I don't know of any other outside pieces of material that get two shots like this; then again, I don't know much about TV. I think that would make a good TV show, and I'm surprised it didn't work the first time around.

* the columnist Steven Grant takes a look at the graphic novel as an evolving form rather than a static one, and makes a historical comparison between other evolving and devolving forms of comics.

* Eddie Campbell is one of the best people in all of comics-land when it comes to long interviews, and he's pretty good with the short ones, too.

* not comics: if the story about the Pirate Bay guy in the last three graphs of this post is true, holy crap, what a douchebag.

* the always-interesting Matthias Wivel provides an update on the Danish Comics Council and all of that group's irons in various fires. It sounds so logical and forthright and smart that you may for a few seconds forget that an equivalent effort in the USA would almost certainly be a deep depression-inducing disaster.

* it's hard not to be happy for any creator that is happy about a book selling out, but how can they have a second cover ready this quickly unless they had a sneaking suspicion this one would sell out? And don't they get the orders before they print?

* good news/bad news

* finally, the people that make the funny Marvel action figurine videos seem pleased with their efforts on a new Twilight-related episode. So if you were looking for an excuse to go look at those videos, now's the time.
