* DC opens up its own DC Digital Comics Store.

* J. Michael Straczynski in not-finishing-what-he-started SHOCKER!

* Wait–what?

* A new Fritz B-movie-verse book on the way from Gilbert Hernandez! Love from the Shadows, coming in January. (Via Tom Spurgeon.)

* Tom Devlin takes a few seconds to crow about Drawn & Quarterly’s 2010 release slate. With some justification!

* The Game of Thrones news blog Winter Is Coming examines existing scripts, casting sides, and so on to determine how much the show will be deviating from the book. The answer seems to be “some, but probably not much in any way that really matters,” which is what you’d expect from an adaptation on the faithful end of things.

* One of the reasons I’m so grateful for the existence of Grant Morrison’s Batman run is that it really, truly does lend itself to annotations of the sort done by David Uzumeri for today’s The Return of Bruce Wayne #6. On the reader end, it’s not over-earnest fan overreach at all, and on the creator end, it’s not something required to enjoy the story on the page, but it’s all there if you want it. Just such a pleasure to read a superhero comic that works in that way.

* It’s a pleasure watching Spurge unpack a book like Mouse Guard.

* Finally, if you like the Venture Bros., you can buy original storyboard art here to help raise money to save the life of a cat. I truly love all the cats of the world so I hope you consider this. (Via Spurge.)
