Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* someone on a power list writing about a power list where the person that wrote the power list put themselves on the power list is an amazing thing, really.

* Rob McMonigal on Operation Margarine #1-4 and Raw Power #2. John Kane on a bunch of different comics. Sean Gaffney on The Mysterious Underground Men. Paul O'Brien on Uncanny X-Men #14. J. Caleb Mozzocco on a bunch of different comics. Michael Buntag on Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Search Vols. 2-3. Richard Bruton on Lucky Luke and An Afternoon In Ueno. Colm Creamer on NEXTWAVE.: Agents Of H.A.T.E Ultimate Collection. Johanna Draper Carlson on Yotsuba&! Vol. 12. Emily Thomas on The Nao Of Brown. Ken H on Triton Of The Sea Vol. 1.

* any construction that includes the word "everyone" almost always does a disservice to the work in question, but I get that these are times in which we live.

* I hope #2 on this list is "Hopey Leaves Maggie" and #1 is the Mr. Sack plotline in Peanuts, but I'm not holding my breath. That's a good story, though, for sure.

* I don't really understand why people get worked up whenever Alan Moore says something about superhero comics, particularly since he says the same things every eight or nine months. I think if you're Alan Moore, you're allowed to say whatever you want about superhero comics, the way Joe Namath gets to opine about being a famous athlete and Jimmy Carter gets to say things about being president. The entire cycle of people asking him these questions and then people having these "You crazy, old man!" reactions to his responses seems way more indicative of a certain mindset of fan culture than anything else.

* Emmet Matheson talks to Dakota McFadzean. Rob McMonigal talks to Adam P. Knave and DJ Kirkbride.

* Kelly Thompson suggests Marvel heroine team-ups. I am not familiar with all of those characters.

* come for the superhero character trivia, stay for that sweet 1960s mainstream comic book art.

* finally, Buzz Dixon was so fond of this Skottie Young image featuring Black Widow that he sent me a link to it.
