[Above, Fletcher Hanks finally does something about that pain-in-the-ass gravity. Below, Sire Isaac Dispatch.]

  • You too can have a glow in the dark tee with a cat strapped to a jetpack riding through space. Why would you want it? Because it’s sold by the Webcomic Questionable Content. It may not have anything to do with the strip, but that’s just a minor detail.
  • There has been much debate about the motion comics that have been popping up recently from Marvel to Stephen King’s Just After Sunset. A new motion comic has stepped on the scene and Comics Alliance is saying this is “a motion comic we can all get behind.”
  • If you’re in the DC area Paul Karasik, editor of You Shall Die by Your Own Evil Creation!, will be at Politics and Prose Bookstore Sunday at 5pm.
  • New York City con wars continue to heat up. When  it was announced that next year’s Big Apple Comic-Con was planned for the same dates as New York Comic-Con, the verbal fists started to fly.
  • Newsarama talks comics and possibly TV with writer Stephen King on his 1984 novel The Talisman.
  • Will Google be the new savior of comic books? Yes, no, maybe so. Savior or no Google will be offering electronic books to any device with a web browser.
