It's news to them: Dirk Deppey chides the comics "news" sites for failing to report on a new Michigan law that restricts the public commercial display of printed material containing "sexually explicit" content -- "a statute seemingly tailor-made to cut comic books and graphic novels for adults off at the knees in that state."

Deppey writes: "I realize that neither Wolverine nor Mark Millar are factors here, but couldn't one of you guys even pretend that this was a story that affects comics retailers negatively? Shoot an email to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and ask whether they're looking into the situation?"

Maybe they're just waiting for the press release ...
