Another Linkdump

Bookslut gives some advice as to what that blurb really means.

Filkertom links to Avenue Q YouTube vids. You can see a lot of the show this way...

Excellent Interview with Kurt Busiek up at Coville's Clubhouse. Go check it out.

Lea Hernandez points us to a project on abstinence curriculum that she worked on.

Monty Python and the Holy Vader. A mash-up for true geeks only.

Update on Comic Book Urban Legends #49, and Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #58.

So, you want digital comics? Dave Rants on what digital comics ought to be. And he's right. He's SO right. I won't say much about his ideas on a magazine/comic reader, but his three points are a BIG deal:

  • Copy protection must NOT be onerous.
  • Price MUST be lower than paper copies.
  • Special features would be a very good idea.
I would love to see "script to final" pages in special features, as well as pencils and non-colored inks. DC and Marvel could easily revolutionize the comic book market by embracing the possibilities... but it would take a leap of faith and (more importantly) an initial investment and risk. So it probably will never happen.
