YACB Bulletins

ITEM! Remember: Comic creators read blogs too...

ITEM! Infinite Crisis in 30 Seconds. (via Johanna)

ITEM! Jim Woodring is blogging. Prepare now for your dose of surrealist comics wonderment. (via Heidi)

ITEM! PW Comics Week reports that Jill Thompson has signed a four-GN deal with HarperCollins. Thompson is very talented IMHO--I've enjoyed just about everything of hers that I've read--but she's always been underappreciated in the direct market (despite having won an Eisner). Hopefully HP will give her the exposure she deserves.

ITEM! More FCBM2 linkage, this time from Vincent & Shane. Thanks!

ITEM! Vincent also points out that this coming Monday--the third Monday in May--is Miracle Monday. I'll have to think of a good way to celebrate...

FCBM2 Day 10

Spider-Man/Human Torch #1It's day Ten of the second annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Today's selected entry comes from Al White. Al says that he's "fairly old school" and that the comics that he keeps an interest in are:

1. Avengers
2. Iron Man
3. Teen Titans
4. Legion of Super-Heroes

Al Says that he's looking forward to reading something new, so I'm sending him Spider-Man/Human Torch #1, with and old school meets new story by Dan Slott, Ty Templeton and Nelson.

And like all the selected entries, Al will be receiving a special Dark Horse promo-priced comic, in this case The Goon 25¢ Edition by Eric Powell.

Al's comics should be in the mail soon. Enjoy!
