Wednesday Runaround – Stan Lee Keeps On Ticking

StanLeeWatch: The man is out and about with his wife and doing fine…

GrimWatch: Kurtis J Wieve addresses Grim Leaper reader disappointment;

Grim Leaper #4 came out a few weeks ago and it became immediately noticeable that the finale to the series left a lot of people disappointed. A lot of review sites and even readers, expressed their negative reaction to the series never explaining the curse in any sort of detail.

I can definitely understand the frustration if that was the expectation from the beginning. I suppose in some ways it was set up for the big reveal, and there was one but probably not in a way that people assumed it would happen.

WomenWatch: Peter Nguyen has a print for NYCC featuring the women of the Old DCU. Or some of them at least…

TintinWatch:Belgium tries to get back it's comic book preeminence. Through Big Government.

Today, most of the big Belgian comic book publishing houses have been bought up by multinational companies. And the country's comic strip output has been dwarfed by new players like Japan and Argentina as well as old heavy-weights like the US and France. But Belgium has started fighting back, setting up a government-funded Comic Book Commission in 2007. With an annual budget of 130,000 euros ($168,000), it promotes new Belgian comic strip art – and funds 30 to 40 projects with grants ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 euros each year.

MangaListen: Prick up your ears.

Jeff Yang, blogger and writer for the Wall Street Journal, curated two new exhibits at the Museum of Chinese in America that explore these questions. Through "Marvels and Monsters: Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986," and "Alt.Comics: Asian American Artists Reinvent the Comic," Yang wanted to address and expose the stereotypes, and show the ways in which modern comics are combating them.
