The Rundown: Sean Murphy Talks Image, Snyder and Internship, Jeff Smith’s Boneville Relaunches, and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.

– This interview with Sean Murphy is fantastic, and I’m not just saying that because they linked the podcast I did with Sean Murphy and Becky Cloonan. In it, Murphy has an amazing analogy for the difference between Image and other publishers, his relationship with Scott Snyder, the likelihood of him doing more work with DC, and even reveals that he’ll be doing another artistic internship. Great read.

– Jeff Smith’s Boneville website has relaunched with a MUCH improved redesign that, in particular, makes it easier to read his webcomic Tuki, Save the Humans. So if you were looking for a reason to read Tuki besides the fact IT IS A JEFF SMITH COMIC, then you now have it. But seriously, you should be reading it. It’s fantastic.

– I missed this before, but Amazing Spider-Man #1 surpassing 500,000 in sales? That’s freaking amazing, and good for everyone involved.

– The 2013 Reuben Award nominees have been announced, and what a deserving bunch. Take a look at the list at Robot 6.

– What’s this? Multiversity favorite Sarah DeLaine is providing a (beautiful) variant cover to Enormous #3 from our good friends Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour? That, my friends, is a match made in heaven.

– Finally, I am absolutely stealing this from Reddit, but Ulises Farinas’ response to a critic of his art is pretty much amazing.
