Random Comics News Story Round-Up

* highlights of First Second's Spring 2010, released via PDF catalog, are: a new edition of their Prince Of Persia graphic novel; that basic team's return to a swashbuckler called Solomon's Thieves; the first in a new series of Greek God-related graphic novels, Zeus, King Of The Gods; a book with YA author Jane Yolen, Foiled; Prime Baby, Gene Luen Yang's NY Times Sunday Magazine effort; Booth, a book with Catherine Clinton; the Euro-retro looking City Of Spies; and the kids behind enemy lines Resistance.

image* Ward Sutton reviews The Letters Of Vincent Van Gogh.

* not comics: traffic at the top newspaper web sites was down for the late Fall period, more distressing news as that industry staggers into the New Year in the middle of seismic, paradigm-crushing change.

* missed it: Shaenon Garrity comments on a recent Ghost World roundtable.

* missed it: apparently, there was a Ghost World roundtable.

* Matthew Badham interviews Jim Medway and Adam Caldwell.

* Big Shiny Robot interviews Dash Shaw.

* Jeet Heer discusses the idea of anthology-making as autobiography. I like what this says about Eric "Dirty Stories" Reynolds.

* Matt Fraction talks with Denny O'Neil. That's one of the TCJ #300 pieces. I thought that one turned out really well.

* finally, A Drifting Life makes a Japan Times best-of list for book of the year.
