Weekend Writing Comparison Round-Up

* Both Don MacPherson in this editorial and Marc Singer in this review compare well-publicized comics from Marvel with lesser-known works at DC and suggest the DC works might be the more effective of each pairing.

* Dan Nadel, in this review of Darwyn Cooke's Batman/Spirit and The Spirit efforts, suggests that his problems with the result may be all about the art rather than common criticisms of mainstream American comic books like deficiencies in scripting or limitations of sub-genre. He brings in Alex Toth for comparison's sake.

* In an excellent post in a series of excellent posts, Eddie Campbell compares and contrasts various authors' takes on Roy Lichtenstein.
