ComicMix QuickPicks – January 12, 2009
Today’s installment of comic-related news items that wouldn’t generate a post of their own, but may be of interest…
* Fantasy author Poppy Z. Brite was arrested last week at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in New Orleans as part of a peaceable demonstration in which churches in the Uptown area of the city were occupied to protest their closings. She’s been writing it up on her LiveJournal.
* Not quite related to the story above, but there’s not going to be a The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror anthology for 2008, according to editors Gavin J. Grant & Kelly Link. Not that there isn’t material, of course, but the economy’s a bear…
* My boyfriend and I went to see "The Spirit" because we are stupid …
* The Lost Ten Commandments of Comics .
Anything else? Consider this an open thread.
Kyle Baker (the Greatest Cartoonist of All Time) has a review of "The Spirit" that puts fan-boy outrage in ironic perspective. http://thebakersanimationcartoons.blogspot.com/20…
