Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* Henry Chamberlain talks to Wren McDonald.

* this article about America not valuing its artists was making the rounds late last week. It was written in part due to the collective art space fire in Oakland. I agree with it in general, although I'm careful of these kinds of arguments because I think there are a lot of artists that try to foster a whole-life professional identity around their art and aren't justified in doing so. How the US spends its money both publicly and privately, though, is awful, though, there's little denying that.

* Nick Hanover and Kim O'Connor talk about discourse in comics. As much as I'm even able to get my shit together to be involved as I should be involved, I suspect I am the orthodoxy being criticized in much of that dialogue. That's a good thing, though; one can always learn something from criticism and criticism is a frequent first step for others to find a better way of doing things.

* finally, some not comics: Wilson has a release date: March 24. At some point close to that time you'll get my full story about visiting the set with Ed Piskor and Tim Hodler as "the comics press," which was fun but I basically did it for the free ride to LAX on the morning-of.
