Over at Making Light, former Valiant Comics editor Teresa Nielsen Hayden started a thread on trying to explain marketing categories in publishing, and how they’re not solely determined by the content: Say your book features a strange and powerful device, the Transnistrian Infundibulator: If the storyline is about the inception, interim difficulties, and eventual happy…
Remember this when some other website hawks the Amazon steal of the day, and then complains about how all the local shops are going away. via Sign Of The Times of the Day – The Daily What.
Who knew? Cigarettes and whisky are acceptable during editorial meetings. Cover designers prefer hashish. http://ow.ly/49QqR # Resurrecting a Genre with a Dead Man http://ow.ly/4anyj Better than resurrecting a Brand #badcomicpun #imsorryimsorryimsorry #
The shooting in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend, which left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in a coma and six others dead, has been universally condemned by almost every sane person. On the not-so-sane side, Travis Corcoran, the president of Heavy Ink, an online comic book retailer based in Arlington, Massachusetts, had a different message: “1 down,…
We’re thankful to you. Each and every one of you who keeps coming back to the site because you like the people, or the comics, or the occasional snark. We all know how tough it is out there, not acknowledging that fact doesn’t make it any less tight in the wallet. There is a pestilence…
Editor’s note: This column, which was originally published at Comics Bulletin and which we pointed to on Friday, was taken down from their site yesterday. We’re a bit touchy when it comes to internet censorship and the hint of legal threats from movie people, so we asked Cliff what we could to do help. Clifford…

Dirk says: It [the iPad] has to be cheap enough to appeal to the general…
Just to prove that we have some editorial process around here, this was a conversation between Mike Gold and myself on a potential article: GH: So, I want to run a story on April Fool’s Day… ComicMix to publish the complete Sonic Disruptors, including the unpublished last issues.

The Occasional Superheroine herself, Valerie D’Orazio, has an interesting thought experiment going on at her blog: Play "Fantasy DC EIC" and Redo The DCU! This is like Fantasy Baseball, but instead of pretending to play a professional sport, you pretend to be the new Editor-In-Chief of the DC Universe. You come in to the job,…
Well, today ComicMix turns two years old. It’s a tad bittersweet, as the advertising cutbacks that have decimated other media outlets have had their impact upon this young site as well. So – as you’ve no doubt noticed – we’ve hunkered down for the long haul. We ain’t going to give in to this economy;…
Yes, we know it’s getting ugly out there. If Robot 6 has a daily roundup called Food Or Comics, and we’re covering stuff that they’re missing, it’s just outright brutal. So what to do about it? Kristine Kathryn Rusch, award-winning author and editor, posted the following to an email list regarding the shutdown of Realms…
A quick wrapup of the mix of comics and politics: Obama meets Spidey. Yeah, yeah, everybody’s covered it by now. But most people haven’t seen Mad Magazine asking what Barack Obama will do during his first 100 minutes in office. Indecision 2008 has the sneak peek. Hint: lots and lots of cigarettes in the Rose…
