Yeah, writing isn't really the draw on that book for me. I'm in it for the page layouts.

Could we stop posting Bleeding Cool as gospel? Maybe wait until someone who is not a fucking asshole posts it?
This may turn out to be true, but BC is the lowest form of life.
Thank you.
Still waiting for his "Johns off Aquaman" rumor to come true that he ran with for like two weeks.

Its hard for me to choose which is worse. Bleeding Cool, CA, newsarama or CBR. At least Bleeding Cool is sometimes right...
I'm reading Witch Doctor: Malpractice because I liked the first series so much. This one's fine so far, not quite as magical; the first just has so much style, this one seems more interested in building up a big plot arch. We'll see.
Picked up Hellraiser series after I saw the Witch Doctor writer has picked up the second series of that. It's real weird. My relationship with Hellraiser movies is seeing the first, second, and Bloodlines, and the whole business of split canon with that series is kind of frustrating.
which seems interesting, but I'm kind of not committed to this one either.

What's wrong with CBR? They have great features and are the best place for previews.

Previews are awesome. I find that all their articles and reviews pander a lot toward Marvel and DC. Probably so they can get interviews and whatnot. There is just so much ass kissing on all of these sites. Its worse than videogame journalism.

Fight the good fight brah. On a completely unrelated note, Levitz needs to hang up the typewriter. LosH needs new life, I love those brahs. Even though the Legion Lost team is in limbo now, I'm kinda glad Levitz won't be writing them.

Oh yeah, they put no thought into their reviews whatsoever

Yes that's the one! Been looking for it for weeks thanks mate!
So it's JL8 now? Could've sworn it went by Lil'/Little Leaguers.
I know that feeling bro. I've tried WAY harder than I have for any other site to try and get into CV as a comic book alternative to Giant Bomb but Tony and Sara are like black holes of charisma. They actually absorb the charisma of anybody within 100 feet of them. It's scary.

Well I didn't write that one. I'd left by then.

I never read comicvine for news. I just use it for their ridiculously comprehensive character database. Ever want to learn about when Storm ripped out Marrow's heart? There is a whole section on her page, complete with images! UncannyXMen.net is also really good for issue summaries.
Yeah... I don't think CA really belongs with those other ones. Not in a backhanded "they're not complete shit!" way either, it's a a genuinely good site.

I followed Birdie's reviews because he had my Morrison/Aaron/Remender wacky comic book ideas sensibility. Then he left, and it was Tim Callahan and Chad Nevett reviews. Not Nevett is gone and Tim Callahan is doing Alan Moore/Sandman re-reads on TOR.com
I like Multiversity Comics and Comicsbulletin.

Oh man, did you ever listen to that old Splash Page podcast with Callahan/Nevett? I liked it a lot but it was so weird.

sooooo weird
Nevett seems to be going off the deep-end, cutting off the comments on his blog, calling out CSBG's taste, he's in his own little world now. But hey, tomorrow he's doing his last Blog-a-thon with a bunch of other comic book reviewers, like his partner in crime Tim Callahan, snarkiest man on the comic internet Tucker Stone, smartest man on the comic internet David Brothers, dread master Brian Cronin, etc.

^^^ newsarama is literally the ign of comics websites, even moreso than ign itself
Yeah, I'm not a HUGE fan of his writing but his blogathons are usually fun. And with the guest writers, I'm definitely down for at least a few hours.

I read CSBG more than CBR.
IGN used to have a great comics site. its what got me back into reading around 06/07

Yeah, CA is awesome. CBR and Newsarama are glorified PR mouthpieces, although it should be said that their associated blogs tend to be far better than their parent sites.

I'm so down for Age of Ultron. Even though Marvel is going to be shipping the shit out of it. What's their schedule? A 10-issue series at 3-issues per month? Take my moneys plz.
I read Bleeding Cool because of all the people who write about news in comics, Rich Johnston is the one who gives the least fucks about not getting exclusives from DC or Marvel, which enables him to dig for primo dirt, kinda like a pig looking for truffles. And then I go to TCJ to have the week recapped as an incredibly violent diss track on the whole industry. (Please do read this week's column on the Image movie as it's one of the greatest things ever written)

I guess they don't belong with the other more PR centered sites. They did have that great gillen interview this week.
I did always find it funny how that chick writer would cry about women in comics and then a post below hers would be some "best cosplay ever" shit of just chicks with nothing on.

Anyone watch arrow .
Is it better than smallville? That show seemed terrible outside of the first few seasons

Smallville was good, then bad then good again at the very end. It was all very confusing. As a result I'm not bothering with Arrow, but it doesn't look too good.

It was just funny reading an article that was complaining about something the site was basically promoting.
Just read some of those TCJ columns. Awesome stuff.

I tried to watch an episode on Hulu and it was just too much of a CW show. Lots of beautiful people doing family drama. Frankly I was just bored with it in one episode. At least Ollie's actor seems pretty likeable and not a total douchnozzle.

Anyone reading Winter Soldier? The art looks awesome but what about the story?
Except those two things are REALLY not comparable at all. For one thing, comic books ain't real life.
1-14 is amazing but I have less than no interest in reading a non-Brubaker take on Bucky.
I like looking through their review roundup as well. Even if I don't really agree with their scores all that much.
EDIT: I also enjoy the Comics Should Be Good blog on CBR. Pretty much the only thing I will read other than the previews on that site.
Eddie Blake is... THE WINTER SOLDIER
