Comic Blogs Should Be Good
Time to Burn Your Retinas, People!

Mike Sterling, of the always entertaining Progressive Ruin, has made the move from Blogger to WordPress and now has a new design for his site. It is really, really bright white.
I mention this only because, hey, it's an excuse to link to a fun comic book site, so why not, right?
Welcome to WordPress, Mike!
Victor von Doom reviews Joe the Barbarian!
- by Greg Burgas
- Monday, February 1st, 2010 at 7:11 PM EST
I hate to link to something that picks on one of my fellow bloggers here, but I have a feeling MarkAndrew won't mind if I link to Doctor Doom "reviewing" Joe the Barbarian. Doom's words might sound strangely familiar ...
Speaking of Dusty Abell...

And I just was, check out this amazing piece Abell did of the various television stars of science fiction and fantasy during the 1970s!
Click on the image to go to Abell's deviantART page where you can see the full image (it's yooooooooooge)!

(which I just was, in case you missed it)
Congratulations, of a sort, to Greg Burgas for reaching his fifth anniversary with his solo blog, Delenda Est Carthago, at which point he decided to bow out from the solo blogging game.
Delenda Est Carthago is the blog Greg was doing when I asked him to blog here [...]
Check out J.M. DeMatteis' New Blog!
- by Brian Cronin
- Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 10:29 PM EST
J.M. DeMatteis has a (fairly) new blog up that he started last month, called J.M. DeMatteis's Creation Point: Semi-Regular Musings from the Semi-Regular Mind of Writer J.M. DeMatteis.
If you have any interest in DeMatteis (and you should, because he's a heck of a writer), then you'll get a kick out of this site.

The wonderful world of remixed comics!

Chris Sims wins the Internet once again! Or does he?
(I like doing these posts after a post gets everyone's hackles up. Don't we need the levity, people?!?!?!?)
Bad comics vs. HILARIOUSLY bad comics
- by Greg Burgas
- Saturday, July 4th, 2009 at 1:00 PM EST
Bad comics come and go and are usually forgotten by the next week, because there's another bad comic or two coming out soon enough. HILARIOUSLY bad comics, however, like a certain comic featuring Oliver Queen weirdly declaring his undying love for a guy who once destroyed the universe and then blamed an giant bug [...]
Speaking of Superhero Catch Phrases

- Wednesday, February 11th, 2009 at 3:41 AM EST
King Oblivion sent me a link this piece a little while ago, and oddly enough, it was NOT the impetus for Catch Phrase Week at the Year of Cool Comic Book Moments, but still, it's a funny bit nonetheless!
So here are "10 Superheroes Who Need New Catch Phrases" (along with suggestions for new phrases).

They've been online for a couple of days now, but I wanted to wait until they were "officially" online before welcoming them (didn't want to spoil any surprise!).
So welcome Robot 6 to Comic Book Resources! Robot 6 is the comic blog made up of the former members of Blog@Newsarama!
Check them out here.

One of the Coolest Comic Art Websites Ever
- by Brian Cronin
- Friday, September 12th, 2008 at 11:22 AM EST
Steven Gettis has a website where he posts drawings he has accumulated over the past decade where he asks comic book artists to draw their favorite literary author/creator/character.
He has well over a hundred drawings on the site, and let me tell you, it is fascinating.
Click here to see the site (which is amusingly titled, "Hey [...]
Fatal Attractions in Six Panels!
- by Brian Cronin
- Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 3:07 PM EST
Sandy Bilus is at it again, now with an attempt to make heads or tails out of Fatal Attractions in six panels!
For what it's worth, I think I would have gone with the panel of Xavier mind-wiping Magneto then a panel with Wolverine's bone claws (yes, it is a full page, but it's still a [...]

Check it out here and congrats to Kirk for the anniversary!
Great Blog Piece on Morrison

- Sunday, April 27th, 2008 at 10:12 AM EST
Amypoodle has a great piece up at Mindless Ones about Grant Morrison's work. Amypoodle is really putting together a great string of posts there. All of them are quite interesting.
Kamandi is Awesome
- by Brian Cronin
- Monday, April 14th, 2008 at 8:26 AM EST
by Alex Cox (you can read about more awesome things on Alex's blog, World of Awesome).
What is it about KAMANDI?
If there was ever an example of a comic that works in spite of itself, this is it. On first glance, it's a ridiculous concept, with a half-naked blonde guy of indeterminate age as the [...]
