- Four big sellouts and now variants coming from Marvel
- Who has the Best Death in sci-fi films and TV?

Earlier this year, retailer David Pirkola was seriously injured during a robbery of his comic shop in Kentwood, Mich. He’s still recovering, and now Boom! Studios and Jeffrey Brown are launching a benefit auction.
I was talking to cartoonist Jim Rugg recently about comics anthologies, and he said his thought as a reader is that each collection should have one great story, and then anything else good is just gravy.
(Nerdcore, $30), Rugg’s Afrodisiac story is the gravy. His old-school, dot-matrix-styled, blaxploitation character has a predictably badass encounter with vampires.
Good news for at least one of the staff members fired by Tokyopop in that publisher’s recent purge: Paul Morrissey has taken an unspecified editing role with Boom! Studios, according to a press release from Boom.
After the success of Boom! Studios’ MySpace promotion for the comic series North Wind, no surprise that the publisher is adding more free comics online.
One-time Meltdown Comics retailer Matt Gagnon continues a rapid climb in comics, as he’s just been named Boom! Studios’ new managing editor.
