If you missed yesterday's comics-culture Internet thing involving the very talented Sam Hiti, this sympathetic essay provides enough information for you to backtrack, I think. Basically: a shut-down of social media accounts belonging to Hiti suggested a death, and for a time no one knew if that death was real or if it was a "career death" until Hiti was reached by phone. Some folks had already memorialized him on Twitter and other social media platforms as if he had physically died.
The Michigan Comics Collective, whose first title Wild Bullets debuted at Motor City Comic Con, is a group of creators and retailers who want to put Michigan on the map as a center of comics creativity. “Look at what The White Stripes did for Detroit,” said retailer John Cashman of Cashman’s Comics, one of the founders of the collective. “It’s a scene, it’s a sound. It just brings attention to that area. I can see Michigan doing that, because there’s a lot of talented artists doing that here that probably wouldn’t be discovered if it wasn’t for the collective.”
The owners of five local businesses discuss their experiences at Denver Comic Con.
San Francisco’s Cartoon Art Museum, which announced last month that it would have to move by the end of June, will be able to remain at its current location at 655 Mission St. through September, thanks to a lease extension. Skyrocketing rent is forcing the museum to leave property that’s been its home since 2001; officials have yet to find a new location.
Tumblr takes the question of “how did they defrost Cap” really seriously.
What characters Marvel uses in what titles isn't really something I find interesting, but it's worth a reminder that many of the team books serves as character rehabilitation vehicles.
