The Beat on Manga Anthologies. I don't know why anthologies don't work in the current market, because I generally like them. If I can get just one story out of Shonen Jump or Shojo Beat that I like, that's worth the price of subscription to me. And I generally do. But this article goes into why Manga anthologies work in Japan... and we have a long way to go if we're going to reach that level of acceptance of anthologies.

And The Beat declares Harlan Ellison vs Fantagraphics to be the "Fight of the Century". Um. Ok.

Here's a very short story about the future. And maybe the not-too-distant future.

Ok, one more... It's not the start of Autumn, it's the middle of Autumn.
