Tuesday Runaround – Ultron And Hobbes
BOILING POINT CALVIN
A Calvin And Hobbes page sells for over $200,000… but it still has a way to go to beat Frank Miller and Klaus Janson.
Marvel Comics are promoting Age Of Ultron by Brian Michael Bendis, Bryan Hitch, Carlos Pacheco and Brandon Peterson as their 2013 event – with artwork that, well, they published in Avengers #12.1 a few years ago and then again in the 2012 Free Comic Book Day comic. Nice new cover though.
Rumoured to have been finished for a while, Marvel will publish all ten issues from March to June, with the first three by Bendis and Hitch in March. Looks like someone wants to keep Man Of Steel from the top. Will they succeed?

The novel "Eternal Radiance of Romance" will be published in six parts. It is about a man, a character based on Leal himself, who is stuck in a love triangle with a maid and a singer in modern-day Japan. Leal hopes to finish the first part by May.
FLYING THE FLAG

WARWATCH
Groundview looks at a Kickstarter attempt to tell the 2009 Sri Lanka war through comics.
I was in Chennai with a friend and her daughter and we celebrated, with an elaborate lunch, the arrest and detention of her husband, also an old friend of mine, in Zurich. He had spent nearly $20,000 with agents travelling from Chennai to Saudi, Istanbul, Kiev and to Zurich. The story was incredible and I relised how conflict continues in peoples lives long after the bombs stop falling. So I began to look at telling the story from this perspective – from the asylum seeker in the UK reflecting back on his life from 2006 to the present day in London.
