Another week gone by already?!
BUSINESS: Boing Boing links to a study showing that generally an ebook release is correlated with increased print sales. Hard to do this kind of study with free-all-the-time webcomics but I do think it's high time academics did more work with data on these questions.
DEAD TREES: Robot6 notes that the new graphic novel collection of the webcomic Haunted by Josh Smeaton is now available.
REVIEW: El Santo lowers the one-star boom on Las Lindas.
JUSTIFY MY HYPE: Reality Amuck today tackles Green Email and Spam with funny results.

Welcome to Monday! May I direct your attention to a review of several mini comics posted late Friday? If you enjoyed John Allison's COMIX REMIX of the above photo, you might want to check out the entire series he posted to FLICKR.
REVIEWS: Delos reviews Odori Park by Chris Watkins and El Santo reviews the Xeric Grant-winning Haunted by Joshua Smeaton.
INTERVIEWS: Growly Beast has an interview with Alice Hunt and Tracy Williams of Goodbye Chains.
REMIX: The Webcomic Builder has a lengthy essay on fan-comics; something maybe we ought to relabel "remix comics"?
NOT WEBCOMICS: Kickstarter fund drive for an American Elf videogame? I'd buy that for a dollar!
INTERNATIONAL:
- Scott McCloud highlights something I'd actually missed in reading the new Zahra’s Paradise at First Second: its availability in multiple languages: English, Farsi, Arabic, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch.
- Not sure if this is good or bad but Bleeding Cool notes that "After filing for bankruptcy, German TV company TV-Toonland has sold Svetlana Chmakova’s manga-adapted TV show My Life Me to Classic Media. It will air in France and Canada later this year."
- Digital Strips has some factoids on webmanga, including Shuhuo Soto's earnings this year alone.
