* Today at Robot 6: Follow-up on Marvel’s Hitman Monkey, tracking Al Columbia, and linking the hell out of The Comics Journal #300, currently online in its entirety and as yet completely unread by me.

* Look, it’s Young Hans Rickheit! His photo of himself at age 17 is adorable, and his illustrations from that period are disturbing. That’s our Hans!

* Wanna rile up comment-thread nerds? Write a list called The 10 Longest and Awesomest Movie Fight Scenes of All Time for Topless Robot but leave off [INSERT YOUR FAVORITE LONG MOVIE FIGHT SCENE HERE], like my buddy TJ Dietsch just did.

* Joe Quesada says Immortal Iron Fist/Immortal Weapons is dunzo. 🙁

* Tom Neely has been posting a series of images called “I just figured it all out…”, all of which are headed for an art show in Stuttgart, Germany. Hie thee to Stuttgart, Germans.

* I like The Killing Joke a lot, which is why I enjoyed David Wynne’s apologia for the book for Trouble with Comics’ Alan Moore Month. Wynne defends the book against its critics (including its writer!) by saying it’s a powerful pacifist powerful. I myself like to look at it as a story about people locked in a relationship that brings out the absolute worst in both of them. It’s also a good fucked-up Joker story. And I’m sure someone could (if someone hasn’t already) draw some parallels between the shaggy-dog joke ending of Moore’s book starring a character called the Comedian and the shaggy-dog joke ending of Moore’s book starring a character called the Joker. Something for everyone! (Bolland’s colors > Higgins’s colors, though.)

* Johnny Ryan’s Gossip Girl. ‘Nuff said!

* I have no doubt that this really is how Dan Nadel spends his weekends.
