It’s been a frustrating week for those of us with Bloglines, as new ComicMix items haven’t shown up since last Tuesday. Our news and comic alert feeds are two of the 50+ subscriptions not being updated on my reader at present. While this may make getting through unread blogs easier, it also necessitates lots…
Vertigo junkies will be happy to know a group of the DC imprint’s creators have joined together — not unlike Voltron — on a blog. Standard Attrition is the new blogging home for Jason Aaron, Brian Wood, G. Willow Wilson, Jock, Cliff Chiang, David Lapham and Brian Azzarello. So far, the site has mostly just…
Chris’ Invincible Super-Blog continues to be one of my favorite comic blogs on the InterWebs, as it never fails to crack me up while also turning me on to some comics that might not have otherwise been on my radar. Yesterday’s celebration of his one-year anniversary with the new ISB site was no exception. In…
What started as a little thing to chronicle the writing of American Gods has grown and grown to the point of– well, something really big and blog-like. And dressed in black. And a turban. And some such. So here’s to you, old man. And one of these days, we’re going to run that interview of…
Science fiction writer John Scalzi started it. He tried to make our heads explode with a particular music video. I’ve grown rather attached to my head over the years, and so I returned fire on my own weblog with <a href=” find. Within ten minutes, he parried with <a href=” retort. Oh, it is on,…
A number of people have come here from Peter David’s beloved weblog — specifically that neat bar on the right sidebar that he has that lists our headlines. And a number of folks have said, "Hey! I have a weblog! Can I get that fancy feed of yours on my weblog?" Absolutely. Just grab it…
No, I haven’t read this book. But really, how can you not love a title like Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Brain! Cartoonist Ignores Helpful Advice? Although there are those in this industry that might suspect the subtitle is redundant. So what is this book about? Oh, it’s just Dilbert creator Scott Adams spouting off…
We’ve mentioned them before, but this is the day my favorite comics website, Dial B For Blog, returns to the Internet with all-new entries. Written and designed by "Robby Reed," Dial B For Blog covers the history of the comic book form in detail and with panache. It’s always a joy to read, and even…
We’ve talked about a couple of my favorite websites – the on-vacation Dial B For Blog and it’s Shadow, Dial B For Burbank. Well, I’ve been informed that Robby Reed will indeed come back from the dead! How do I know? Because I got a press release telling me so. To wit: New issues of…
Time magazine, which manages to get so much wrong so much of the time, oddly is very accurate and interesting on the subject of LOLcats. [via The Beat] Not science fiction, but only because it didn’t happen: the British military is denying sending giant, man-eating badgers to terrify the citizen of the Iraqi city of…
One of the most hard-charging bloggers around, Steve Gilliard, has died at the all too early age of 41. Steve was a veteran of Silicon Alley, having started NetSlaves to chart the underbelly of the new dot-com workforce. Some folks called him the original blogger, before the genre was invented, with his first political commentaries…
Neither did I. The creator of Cerebus the Aardvark has his own little space on the web called the Blog and Mail (presumably a take of on Canada’s leading newspaper, the Globe and Mail) with the same sort of commentary that he employed in the letter columns to Cerebus. We link to the site here…
