Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* James Romberger on a bunch of different comics, including Do Not Disturb My Waking Dream. Don MacPherson on Doing Time. Kelly Thompson on Young Avengers #12. Andrew Wheeler has been reviewing the Marvel Infinity series one by one, all of which are available here. I bought a bunch of those when I was in New York, so I look forward to reading those reviews.

* this site won't be doing a collective memory for the Long Beach show last weekend, but Nick Marino wrote a report and gathered some photos here and we're glad to link to it.

* Alex Dueben talks to Zeina Abirached, Colleen Coover and the trio of Reed Waller, James Vance and Denis Kitchen. Tim O'Shea talks to commercial actor Steve Lieber.

* the hobby business news and analysis site ICv2.com notes that Time Warner spinning its print media into its own company and away from Time Warner proper is a long-term strategy come to fruition, and that DC's exclusion from this spin-off shows just how mainstreamed within that company is the idea that DC's comics are media development tools.

* that same site points out that the heinous, cascading act of bad behavior that is the appropriation of a Beastie Boys song for a commercial endeavor by claiming reworked lyrics make it a parody -- and that this, not the commercial use, is the defining element of that appropriation -- and all the calls for settling and "everyone turns out a winner" and aggressive Internet posturing that has followed actually offers up a positive: people are learning about Rube Goldberg.

* finally, here's a piece in the New York Times about bringing Fun Home to the stage.
