Cleveland - "the home of heroes" – IGN
New York City is famously the birthplace of comics .... [but] the truth is that from the earliest days of comics, there was another significant location: Cleveland, Ohio. It’s where Superman is really from, and it’s also the origin point for Miles Morales, Jessica Jones, Black Lightning, American Splendor, Emmie & Friends, and many other characters, series, and creators. This is a history that’s world-famous in Cleveland, but fairly unknown everywhere else; now, however, a new 4,000-square-foot exhibition at Cleveland’s renowned Maltz Museum is dedicated to exploring and celebrating this colorful backstory..."

Movie tie-in stuff at Wal-Mart.
MandaLorian and Grogu has made a worldwide haul of $187,907,933 million since release, and was #1 in box office last weekend (as expected for the first Star Wars movie in seven years) but has dropped to #3 on the second weekend (which attests to the overall superhero and Disney-franchise "fatigue" plaguing any new projects from the subdivisions within the House of Mouse.)
Larry Stark has died – The Comics Journal
EC publisher Bill Gaines... received many letters from fans (soon to be christened "E.C. Fan-Addicts"), but Larry was different — here was a college age reader who reviewed and critiqued E.C. stories with the same seriousness and consideration he would give to great literature. Larry remembered that "soon I was writing a letter of criticism to every issue in the EC armoire, and soon Bill gave me a free lifetime subscription to everything he published." There was one caveat: Larry was to continue reviewing every single story in every single issue...."

461 comic book covers this week, and how can you even look at them all without going blind?
New Wednesday release books from Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, IDW, etc – Fresh Comics
461 covers for the Wednesday releases are on the Fresh Comics page for May 27. This is an incredible number of books. When I walk down the wall of "new releases" at my local comic book store, there isn't anything like 461 covers to parse, but what is there is still too much to scan effectively. I look for something that's indefinable to stand-out to me besides the logos of particular books I already follow. It might be how a piece of artwork is handled, or if there's some sort of subtle drawing skill on display. Artists and cover designers have a huge challenge to just be detectable amid an avalanche of artwork like 461 covers in one week.

Superhero tie-ins were more prevalent about ten years ago when the superhero movie-ascendency was in full bloom, but they're still around, though fewer in number.
