Raina Telgemeier posts a preview page from her upcoming graphic novel Smile.

Bluewater Comics, home of the Female Force comics, has announced their latest line of bio-comics: Rock ‘n’ Roll Comics. The line kicks off with Hard Rock Heroes in December.

Wesley Smith’s 9-year-old niece would rather read Blackest Night than Betty and Veronica. Sounds like me at that age. (Via When Fangirls Attack.)

New blog find: Out from the Comic Shop — Comics in the Classroom, which chronicles a teacher’s use of Jeff Smith’s Bone and other comics in the classroom. The content includes teacher-oriented reviews, new comics lists, and a review of The Cartoonist, a documentary film about Jeff Smith.

Knights of the Lunch Table author Frank Cammuso will be at Ithacon this weekend.
