Carnival of souls

* The next volume of the seminal experimental comics anthology Kramers Ergot will be 16″ x 21″ and retail for $125 for 96 pages. A bargain at any price, most likely.

* Everyone knows about Sam Jackson’s Nick Fury cameo and Avengers name-drop at the end of Iron Man, but apparently Marvel is also subtly planting Captain America Easter eggs in both Iron Man (his shield) and The Incredible Hulk (the super-soldier serum). That’s a cute way to lay the groundwork without being annoying and confusing the squares.

* Jason Adams’s long-running love affair with Speed Racer came to an end after he actually saw the movie.

* Finally, your video of the day is “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat.
