Star Trek : Pawn Against Pawn Michael Ansara passed away. You probably don't know his name, but you know his face and voice. It would be hard to imagine Sci-Fi television without his contribution. He was a memorable as Kang on Star Trek (TOS, Deep Space Nine and Voyager), but appeared in Time Tunnel, Outer Limits, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. In recent year, Ansara provided the voice of Mr. Freeze in Batman: The Animated Series. 

Mark Waid has gotten a bit of criticism and praise for his advocacy for digital comics.  My mantra, as always, is that comics are the kaleidoscopic point.  A space where broader sociocultural trends come together. On the page the process is layered and intriguing.  The system around comic book publication also offer similar insights. Comic book are artifacts of modern urban industrial experience.  Thus, the turn toward digital in comics is merely a microcosm of the broader transformation from an urban industrial to suburban service economy. This presentation lays out Waid's argument for why digital comics make sense.  Moreover, he gives us some insights into the monetary impact of his efforts.  There is no question there will continue to be a turn toward digital publication. The question is who will benefit from that transformation.

Milestone Comics 20th Anniversary is this year!  The Black Panel at SDCC offers great insight into minority creator experience.
