While I’ll miss Kevin Melrose’s invaluable blog, Thought Balloons, I’m really looking forward to his offerings on Dark, But Shining, which he describes as “a group blog dedicated to reviews, essays and the like.”
Two of my favorite blogs have new looks. Love Manga has shaken off the Blogger yoke in favor of a nice, new layout. (While you’re there, make sure and read David Taylor’s thoughts on the cover of Shojo Beat.) And comics.212.net has assumed an appealingly springy palate. (There’s also a great entry on the value of negativity.)
Oh, and Spatula Forum has modified the entry procedure for its Jay’s Days Contest. Click here for details.
