Today's art news is a mix of nostalgia and fresh design. The Gargoyles comic revival and Frank Miller documentary tap into comic book history, while branding showcases and architectural projects push visual boundaries. It's a day where the past and future of visual culture collide.
Two big comic book stories today: a cult classic returns to print and a legend gets his documentary due.
