Across the country, you can't avoid the comics news. In Toronto, police find a mysterious Batman graphic novel at the scene of an arson where a homeless man was killed --I wonder if the book in question is Miller and Mazzuchelli's Batman: Year One? As I recall, the book contains a scene in which as abandoned tenement is burned down, killing a homeless man. Also in Toronto, National Post cartoonist and Governor-General-Award-winning kid's book illustrator Gary Clement has won a leadership award from the Ontario History and Social Sciences Teachers Association "for his contribution to the study of history and social sciences". In Windsor, Jeff Lemire's Essex County trilogy is profiled by the Windsor Star's Trevor Wilhelm: "It's not unhealthy. I'm married, I have friends," said Lemire, 31. "But I love being alone, writing, drawing and reading. The thing I love is I don't have to work with anyone else. I can sit down and tell a story all by myself, the way I want to do it." And finally, Tom Spurgeon reviews the D+Q re-issue of what may be the first Canadian graphic novel, Lawrence Hyde's Southern Cross. Spurge's verdict? "...a pretty, immaculately presented disappointment."

Well, maybe not a cross-country overview. Would you believe, cross-Ontario?
