News tidbits, in no particular order:
Marvel is launching MarvelKids.com. This is cool. Especially considering the criticism that comic publishers’ websites aren’t easy for newcomers and non-fans to navigate. Or that we’re not paying enough attention to the next generation of readers. This is one step toward fixing that.
I participated in The Beat's year-end survey.
I also joined the board of the organization Friends of Lulu, whose mission is to bring women and comics together. Their motto is “Comics Are for Everyone.” Familiar!
Friends-lulu.org
The New York Times ran two recent articles about using comics as an educational tool.
The first and the second.
And Publishers Weekly Comics Week ran an article about the Marvel Illustrated line of classic literary adaptations, which I work on.
Some of this stuff is from a while back, but I’m slow. Sue me.
Also, this week, Marvel is offering just one All Ages title, so allow me to spotlight it here: MARVEL ADVENTURES HULK #7 is new in comic stores, and some newsstands, tomorrow, January 9.
And if you’re old enough for more mature fare, I can’t help but recommend NEXTWAVE: AGENTS OF H.A.T.E. VOL. 2 – I KICK YOUR FACE . Even if the series stunk, which it doesn’t, it still deserves recognition for the title alone.
