Zombie News Blogging (stuff from this week)

I like that. Zombie news. News returned from the dead, dug up and released, harassing passers-by. Film at 11.

Newsarama - Greg Rucka *not* writing Queen and Country? Their headline worried me for a minute, but it's only a mini-series, the third "Declassified", which will be written by Antony Johnston and will follow Nick Poole on an earlier mission. That's ok. But... - Rucka, listen here. You know that guy, the one who started out making excellent crime noir miniseries and went on to a succesful creator-owned genre series, then got tapped by the big 2 to write company property projects, and wrote more and more projects until he was practically writing everything, and started neglecting his own strengths and spread himself too thin and generally annoyed everyone in the process? Don't be that guy. Ok?

More Thought Balloons - Ashley Wood sketchbook due in April from IDW.

The Comics Reporter, which aside from its usual excellent coverage has a particular interest in newspaper editorial cartoons, drew my attention to this List of the top 10 British editorial cartoons of all time. Too bad you gotta be a Brit to vote on them. Some related commentary is here.

Comics 212 reminds us that The Beguiling's Ebay comics charity auction project for Southeast Asian Tsunami victims (through Red Cross) is coming to the last rounds, with artwork by DAVE SIM & GERHARD, CHARLES VESS & JEFF SMITH, and SETH. Go to it.
