Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* congratulations to Sarah Anderson and Adulthood.

image* Sean Gaffney on The Black Museum: The Ghost And The Lady Vol. 1.

* I'm saving this Charlie Hebdo article to read later. I don't think much of the magazine's last 18 months, as much as art exists in that kind of consumerist-adjacent approval/disapproval space that SNL occupies here. Every so often that editorial where I believe Riss wrote about cultural war including shopkeepers and the like comes to mind and I have to resist barfing it was so dumb.

* I don't understand how it's good for any superhero character to have so many random facets, but I don't publish, edit, write or even really read those kinds of comics.

* bundled extra: here's an article about Box Brown's next project, due in February 2018. He seemed pretty far along on it all things considered when I saw him working on the project at SPX in September, but publishing schedules are loaded now.

* in praise of Nextwave: Agents Of H.A.T.E., this generation's Thriller.

* finally: check out this lacerating strip from Lauren Weinstein. Whew.
