Thank You & Good Night
Really bummed to discover that AOL pulled the plug on Comics Alliance. They were the only comics site I visited regularly. I appreciated their humorous reviews of comic themed movies and TV shows (Smallvillains was classic stuff). I had been a bit worried when Laura Hudson announced she was stepping down I was a bit worried. But Joe Hughes stepped in and really kept it going strong.
Their ability to jump between goofy fun and thoughtful commentary regarding comics and race/gender/identity/sexuality was pretty rare. They had a great team assembled, and I hope to see them all get paying replacement gigs soon. But I will miss finding their insights together in one place.
Thanks for the fun and commentary, Comics Alliance. You will be missed.

I will miss it as well. They always had great articles, and silly as well as profound commentary. Where will I find the best cos-players and art this week NOW?
I was wondering why the feed just stopped yesterday. That sucks! As a casual comic reader (mostly graphic novels and tpb) they were how I stayed informed. Plus the cos play, art, and reviewing bad movies were all highlights of my weekly reading.
