Links: Stan Lee’s not-so-Mighty return?

March 27, 2012 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

J. Caleb Mozzocco gives mixed marks to Stan Lee’s Mighty 7, a new kid-friendly superhero series published by Archie Comics. “It is a pretty bad comic book, and I’d go so far as to say that it’s a remarkably, even exceptionally bad comic book,” Mozzocco opines. “But there’s still an irrepressible, hard-to-hate charm about the entire endeavor.”

Keshni Kashyap speaks with John Hogan about Tina’s Mouth: An Existential Comic Diary.

“The angst of being a teen–the thrill of being a boat!” So goes the tag line for Dave Roman’s much-anticipated Teen Boat, which is due in stores this spring. Clarion Books has a “music video book trailer.”

VIZ Media will be publishing a series of full-color graphic novels based on Redakai, currently one of the most popular kids’ shows airing on Cartoon Network. Look for the first book in October 2012.

Cartoonist Nina Paley spoke with kids about their manga-reading habits and — surprise! — most of them know that scanlations are illegal, but read them anyway.

Reviews: Johanna Draper Carlson digs into the Comics Worth Reading mailbag and pulls out copies of Ichiro, Earthling!, How to Draw Your Dragon, and The Shark King.
