If you think all indie cartoonists ever do is brush their teeth and gaze at their drawing board, MariNaomi's diary this week at TCJ should disprove that as she travels around South America and goes to the Galapagos Islands!

Marvel has released a couple of variant covers for UNCANNY AVENGERS #1 and #2, and if you like the Scarlet Witch, well, you are very happy right now.

Ethan Rilly's POPE HATS is a throwback to the golden era of indie comic books—a time undreamed of when LOVE AND ROCKETS and EIGHTBALL and HATE and YUMMY FUR came out every two months or so, and the comics periodical was an actual discrete unit of entertainment. It's also a reference to the finely observed, beautifully drawn comics...and yeah, it only comes out once a year or so, but it's worth waiting for.

Artist Jay Lynch has quite a storied career for drawing the Garbage Pail Kids, creating Nard 'n' Pat and such recents books as Otto's Orange Day for Toon Books. But it turns out, he and his ex-wife were also the artist known as Kringo:

We've lost another great one: news spread today that Italian art master Sergio Toppi had passed away at age 80. Toppi got his start in advertising (and his sketchy, geometric styleed the way for the familiar the mid-century advertising look) but contributed comics to such magazines as Linus, Corto Maltese, Un uomo un’avventura, and Il Giornalino in Italy and l’Histoire de France en bandes dessinées and La Découverte du Monde in France. Best known for single stories rather than series characters, in recent years he worked exclusively with the French publisher Editions Mosquito. Archaia is bringing out a US edition of his retelling of the Arabian Knights, Sharaz-De later this year. A selection is below.

Stuart Immonen's artwork is one of the key selling points to, well, anything he is involved with, and All-New X-Men #1 is no exception. The premise of the book is that the original five members of the X-Men - Angel, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman and Beast - have come to the present for some reason (no, there's no sign of other founding X-Men Shortpack and Sage at this point in time). They are in the present, and they are... in the present. And Stuart Immonen is drawing it! So now you know the premise of the series in its entirety. The regardless point being, Marvel have released some of Immonen's pencils for the first issue of the series, written by Brian Michael Bendis. And unsurprisingly, they're spiffing, corking, and several other 1960s adjectives.
