Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Todd Klein on Superman #44 and Green Lantern: Lost Army #5. Sean Gaffney on The Disappearance Of Nagato Yuki-Chan Vol. 8. Johanna Draper Carlson on Ooku: The Inner Chambers Vol. 11. Zainab Akhtar on Alone 4: The Red Cairns.

* not comics: haven't read the article yet, but I'm always happy to see illustration work from Aidan Koch.

* it's 2015 and there are still columns at major publications where all the comics are seemingly made by five or six companies whose primary purview is the same kind of comics I was reading and enjoying at 12. I still enjoy those kinds of comics now, I really do, and I'm glad for whatever people wish to enjoy. Still, I'm so happy that my own reading and the reading of so many of us now extends to a few dozen publishers, maybe two hundred artists whose work is self-published or published at a number of places, multiple traditions of comics, an army of comics on-line, and bunches of comics from different countries. I feel my life is richer for it.

* the more comics change, the more they're used for the same old thing.

* finally, J. Caleb Mozzocco has love for the variant covers adorning Dark Knight III. Well, the ones with Batman on a horse, anyway.
