Are There Actually Enough All-Ages Comics?
The fact is that no matter how I try to justify their necessity, these books don't really sell, at least not in the comics market. And maybe not really so much in the book market, which we have been told really want all-ages and kids' books, but licensed ones. And, champion second-guesser that I am, I've started to wonder if maybe publishing really good all-ages and kids' comics just simply won't do the trick, if maybe the world really doesn't want them in the numbers I've convinced myself they do. And I realize, when I think back, that my own history doesn't dispute that. I didn't get into comics through designated all-ages or kids' comics (though the Batman comics of the mid-'90s were fairly innocuous), and the all-ages comics I listed above were all things I got into in high school.

Eat Your Oatmeal — Seattle Weekly
This is Inman's job. He isn't a waiter/cartoonist or a barista/cartoonist or a housepainter/cartoonist. He's not even a freelance computer geek/cartoonist. He stopped doing that work a year ago. Now, at 28, he draws comics, posts them to his website, sells merch, and turns a serious profit.
Guy Builds Real-Life Rob Liefeld Gun
Bonus: it runs on electricity and magnetism and really blasts! YouTube user Jason built the coilgun in his backyard using old cell phone chargers and laser pointers…and now you can too, kids!
Dustin Nguyen — duss005's Journal: the few things im sick of
drawing shitty and being content with not getting better doesn't make you innovative, indy or an underground style. it makes you suck and lazy. So before you start talking shit about the "house style", learn to draw, get your own style. then, it'll be okay, because you're actually competent. But don't put yourself alongside actual innovative artists like Paul Pope or Sean Murphy just because your lack of skills keeps you from drawing like Ivan Reis or Jim Lee. Drawing shitty isn't a style, its a lack of skill. We're all always trying to better ourselves, dont act like you're already there and better than someone else because you're jealous.
Looks like an appropriated Gibbons Doctor Manhattan in If Not Summer No. 3
To produce the dense, hypersaturated art pieces seen in their new exhibition, two artists googled the web, scoured fan forums and browsed Flickr accounts to round up 5,000 images for a single collage. The duo, who work under the moniker Simmons & Burke, then assembled their visual plunder into the eye-popping print, pictured above. "We like the idea of making a Frankensteinian world that is both overwhelming and quieting," Case Simmons and Andrew Burke told Wired.com in an e-mail interview. For their new exhibition If Not Winter, which goes on display Thursday at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles, the pair appropriated about 15,000 images from a vast trove of sources. "We use all sorts of sites and forums to discover images and samples on the internet," they said.
There won't be any news about the future of Astro City,the Arrowsmith novel and The Witchlands, my three Wildstorm projects, for a little while, but I don't think there's anything to worry about.
