Some Mainstream Comics Coverage

Staying in a hotel, so was flipping through USA Today this morning, and ran across their fall reading preview. Prominently featured and billed a "Graphic Memoir" was a profile (free registration required) of Cancer Vixen by Marisa Acocella Marchetto, cartoonist for The New Yorker and author of Just Who the Hell Is She, Anyway?.

Receiving capsule reviews were Brian K. Vaughn's Pride of Baghdad, the latest from Marjane Satrapi, Chicken with Plums, and The Best American Comics 2006. Also worth noting that except for Pride, all of these are coming from major book publishers.
