Just a few posts today, as we seem to be having a slow holiday week. But watch for our special Fourth of July roundtable tomorrow!

Here’s something we don’t see too much about: Pikitia Press interviews New Zealand cartoonist Bob McMahon about his work drawing children’s comics.

Archie Comics is getting ready for Comic-Con with a digital exclusive collection of comics that feature the Riverdale gang at comics conventions. iFanboy has a preview.
