Random Comics News Story Round-Up

image* Defne Sastim on Slapstick #1. Rob Salkowitz on We Told You So.

* Stan Lee is among those profiled in a Hollywood Reporter piece on older people in Hollywood that still work at a high level. I like the close-up photo that leads Lee's section.

* a lot of folks believe direct market retailers are at risk. The reasons why in this article sound like the usual market weaknesses + Marvel perceived as not serving the Direct Market fans creatively nearly as well as they have in the past. Still, it's interesting to think of the future of direct market retail, and big-enough-to-notice die-off at some point wouldn't be out of the question.

* not comics: someone please make an on-line TV series like the Amazon version of Man In The High Castle except it's about Marvel winning the Distributor Wars.

* finally, Cary Chow, Ohm Youngmisuk and Prim Siripipat talk to Greg Pak.
