Today is a day to send shout-outs to the Center for Cartoon Studies, located in White River Junction, VT and recognize it's many good deeds. While my shout out should be a loving essay on how teaching comics has had a strong effect on storytelling and how the bucolic yet isolated campus in rural Vermont allows students to focus in on making comics, or the print room or the other great things about the faculty which includes James Sturm and Steve Bissette, I don't have time for that. Instead I will just direct you to Rob Clough's series looking at the WORK of CCS grads and spotlight a few of them:

Welcome to a new analysis of the Marvel sales. Reminder: I'm the French guy who took over Jason for this column. Less figures, a comparaison with the issue#2 sales and some TPB sales at the end are the only big differences you could notice. Reminder: those sales are estimates, sales to comics shops in North America. American comics do get sold somewhere else in their original floppy edition. Keep also in mind that just because a copy is sold to a shop doesn’t mean it's sold to a customer. This would be way too easy. It's a little hard to be sure what the fate of each title will be after Secret wars: Marvel did release a list of the titles that will come back after the event, and confirmed that The Last Days banner was for titles that will stop publication. But, frankly, it's hard to believe the list, and seeing that a title can be cancelled to be relaunched one month later with no differences, the word “cancellation” can lose some of its meaning. I'm pretty sure they will change their mind on the way and that, in fact, they are not sure yet which titles will come back, waiting for how many copies those Battleword titles will sell before taking their real decisions.

In a time where events make people weary, Convergence's prologue is a reminder of why we actually like them.

April Fools? Or totally cools?
