Traffic-wise, I'm at the bottom of the barrel. If you hit this site, odds are that you religiously hit some of the sites below. As a courtesy, here are some of the places on the web that are in part responsible for the garbage in my head in no reasonable order .

Comics News Sites

 

This is one of the many sites with comic book press releases and 'news' like what Will Smith is doing.

 

 

ICV2 is run by Milton Griepp who was a big shot in comics distribution way back when. It is a retailer forum where you can get more manga than you could ever want. And then more.

 

This is another news site that has input from the wonderful and kind Jen Contino, who runs my press releases.

 

This site not only has the biggest logo, but it has updates on Saturday as well.  It typically has more information on animated features than the others.

This site is the best source for new release info from the major publishers.

Comics Continuum is where I steal my images from for the reviews of comics.

 

If you still can't find a comic book store near you, you must not be really trying.

If you can't find one that carries books and comics by Lone Star Press, you see my problem. Support your local store.

 

This site breaks the occasional news.

It also has some cool columns and blogs.

 

Heidi MacDonald sorts the news of the day and compiles a News of the Weird mish-mash of comic book stories.  Aside from her stalking of Clive Owen, it's a damn fine site.

You'll have to click through to her page from The Pulse.

 

The tarts are a group of women who love comics and love to talk comics.  It is a good source of exclusive interviews, in depth articles, news, and reviews.

 

TV and Movie News

 

This site has excellent daily, weekly, and monthly box office totals as well as little features on the current movie market.  Watch the Elektra movie bomb in real time!

 

This is movie geek site of the first order with scripts, trailers, reviews and more.

Also a good place to find Sin City stills (back when they were hard to find).

 

Movie news is updated daily with this spot a nice place to find interviews, reviews and gossip.  With the amount of comics turned to movie properties, the comic news comes almost daily.

 

Sure, it's full of puff, but for those of us without satellite, it's a good way to find smart TV.  It also has a large database on TV programming.

 

Things in Horrible Taste

 

T-Shirt Hell has the most tasteless shirts I have ever seen, much less worn.  These items celebrate strippers, crying babies and idiots with equal enthusiasm.

Baby Hell is especially offensive, but if you buy a shirt, I make a buck.

 

General News (now with humor)

 

Love him or hate him, Matt Drudge runs a nice clearing house for the headlines of the day and source of links to columns.

 

 

I prefer not to look at The Onion as a humor page, but as a legitimate news feed from a parallel universe where John Kerry is a compelling public speaker and all Playstations come with tiny little generators that have solved the world's energy problems. Just like John Byrne does.

 

Not as funny as it used to be, but still funny.

Look for The Dark Knight Adjourns in the features section.

 

Mean- spirited humor along the lines of excerpts from The Single Life: Fallujah.

 

 

 

Ever suspected than Superman was a dick?

Here's proof!

 

Find out how your local Senator or Rep voted on the legislation of the day.

News from Neil's noggin.

He's doing the cover for my first Mister Adams book.

 

Park Cooper & Barb Lien-Cooper post the Gun Street Girl strip on Graphic Smash three days a week.  It is a great webcomic and I was honored that they gave me a chance to ink a few pages over Ryan Howe.

Here's the blog for Francisco de la Fuente, artist of the first Sidechicks arc.
