Links: Mirka Meets a Meteorite—and more!
This won’t be out until next May, but it sounds intriguing: Writer Chris Northrop and artist Jeff Stokeley are working on The Reason for Dragons, a coming-of-age story about a teenager who has an encounter with a knight—who lives in his garage.
Barry Deutsch talks about Hereville: How Mirka Met A Meteorite, and how it differs from the first volume of the series—more cars, fewer footnotes, and some extra help from a new artist.

I interviewed two creators who have kid-friendly projects in my recent Kickstarter columns, which cover Kickstarter and IndieGoGo campaigns: Josh Elder, who has successfully funded a new edition of Mail Order Ninja, and Alexis Fajardo, who is looking to finance the third volume of his Kid Beowulf series.
CBR has an exclusive preview of the latest Adventure Time comic, Marceline and the Scream Queens #5.
