Comic Con International is over and that gave us a ton of news to ponder over and celebrate. This weekend we hope to get a few more nuggets out of Wizard World Chicago Chicago Comic Con (let’s cross our fingers, anyway). In between time, and in case you missed it, here are a few gems I dug up:

• Dean Mullaney’s Library of American Comics imprint is growing, published by IDW, with new series reprinting the comics strips Blondie, Secret Agent X-9 and King Aroo joining a powerhouse lineup that already includes Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie.
• A Criminal Blog reports that Ed Brubaker’s Criminal Deluxe Edition will have 432 pages, not 360 as originally solicited. If it collects the first three trade paperbacks, then that leaves 72 pages for extras. Speculation is that one of the extras may be the Criminal emission from last year’s Liberty Comics #1. Also posted (from A Criminal Blog), as the artwork today, is the Cover for the Incognito TP.
• GalleyCat has a really bizarre blog post on Collecting Literary Tattoos. To each his own, I guess.
• Review: Collected Ediitons Blog on Final Crisis HC and TP (DC Comics)
