Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Alex Hoffman on Wrecked Hearts.

* Rob Salkowitz analyzes the latest financing moves from Wizard World, which while I'm sure there are some nice people involved in there somewhere, sound repulsive: money being pushed around by rich folks who made their money standing near other people's efforts to support an institution that may or may not ever make money by itself but certainly seems to provide benefits to those involved while it flops around. I would be sad if that business went away on behalf of those comics creators for whom it's still an anchor of what they do and how they make a living, but it's difficult for me not to see this as a symptom of capitalist excess rather than a benign outgrowth of its higher functions.

* Ben Novotny Owen talks to Laurenn McCubbin.

* finally, Mike Sterling believes in the power of pictures.
