Part muppet and part college faculty member, Brenna Clarke Gray holds a PhD in Canadian Literature while simultaneously holding two cats named Chaucer and Swift. It's a juggling act. Raised in small-town Ontario, Brenna has since been transported by school to the Atlantic provinces and by work to the Vancouver area, where she now lives with her stylish cyclist/webgeek husband and the aforementioned cats. When not posing by day as a forserious academic, she can be found painting her nails and watching Degrassi (through the critical lens of awesomeness). She posts about graphic narratives at Graphixia, and occasionally she remembers to update her own blog, Not That Kind of Doctor. Blog: Not That Kind of Doctor Twitter: @brennacgray

Our daily round-up of news around the comics space, from the gutters and beyond.

Comic books have been around since before Superman first appeared in 1938’s Action Comics #1.

io9 gives us a very, very detailed review of Deadpool’s novel, Paws. (Cross-post to Book Riot, am I right?)

The project will feature two new rides – one in which participants take control of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, and the Cantina, the infamous hub of rogue smugglers and traders in the films.

I’ll be honest — Disney owning Star Wars, Marvel, AND the Muppets might finally get my butt in the gates at a theme park.
