* Tom Spurgeon unpacks his thoughts to date on the Shia Whoever plagiarism incident. I refuse to learn to spell his last name, despite having the spelling of names like Hornschemeier, Sienkiewicz and Straczynski memorized and readily available at all times. LaBoueif. LiBeeef. The Guy That Made Indy 4 Even Suckier. There you go.
* Robot 6 reports Dan Clowes is looking into his legal options.
* I don't really care about comics renumbering much anymore; I wish they'd left all the great superhero titles alone so that we'd be rapidly approaching issue 800, 900 or 1000 on many titles, but that ship sailed long ago and I don't read most of them anyway. But if you have a horse in the race, here's Marvel senior muckity-muck Tom Breevort weighing in. Me, I still think of Waid's Daredevil as a "new title," so, you know, wow. Whatever.
* This Peter Bagge strip on the Death of the Age of Stuff reminds me of my pal Tim. He hasn't adjusted to this new physical-media-free age and is always surprised when he finds DVD season sets on sale for like .87 cents.
* It's been a long time since I got excited about anybody's Previews solicitations, but IDW's announced Peanuts Artists Edition and Star Trek Gold Key Archives both have me giddy with anticipation, anticipation tempered only by a bittersweet twinge of fiscal restraint. That Trek Archives cover is beautiful.
* Shaenon Garrity reflects on the phenomenon of removing credit from webcomics and how it hurts cartoonists. Because you don't already get screwed enough, you know, just being a cartoonist. The internet: #ALWAYSINNOVATING.
* A big, big thank you to Augie De Blieck for his kind words about this blog in this week's Pipeline at CBR.
* Chip Zdarsky talks to Applebees.
