* Greg Rucka's Stumptown is returning. Stumptown and Criminal are the two comics you should be reading if you say DC never should have canceled Gotham Central.
* Christopher Allen begins reviewing every issue of The Invisibles, beginning with #1, at Trouble With Comics. My immediate reaction to Chris's review: Morrison definitely skimmed some Robert Anton Wilson, although I don't sense a drop of Moorcock in his stuff. More importantly to me, ALL Morrison's influences seem facile and more nodded-at than absorbed or understood (by him). I don't doubt he did/does a lot of drugs and maybe even performs magickal rituals in the creation of his comics (which I hesitate to call "art"), but he strikes me as much more interested in what magick can do for him than what he can do for the world THROUGH magick, as I think Moore is interested in doing. I think that's a pretty striking (perhaps THE) difference between them. That, and 40 IQ points.
* Is Marvel NOW! a reboot? A jumping on/jumping off point? Is it meat? Is it cake? Is it meatcake? WTF is it? Tom Spurgeon has thoughts.
* Doctor Who Season 7 stuff. Looking forward to it. Doctor Who is weird in that, when it's not in the middle of new episodes I barely miss it, but when a new season starts, I am rabid for it.
* Uncomics: The 20 worst hipster bands. Roger Green points to an article on how public libraries are "weathering the storm." A storm created by short-sighted politicians who want the populace to be even more ignorant and uninformed than they already are.
* Uncomics: Mark Evanier posts some amazing video of Las Vegas in the 1960s.
