Just discovered a wonderful site (probably after everyone else has discovered it and virally sent it to everyone but me) for comic books (sorry, 'sequential art') - www.artbomb.net
In particular, the online comics. I've always stayed away from online comics, 'cos I never felt they translated well. In truth, all the ones I'd read before were in the hands of complete amateurs. Check out these two in particular.
A well written piece about bukakke by Susannah Breslin. Aparently she's a really good journalist. I agree.
A story of the madness of pop idols in the future. A disturbing look into the possible evolution of pop by one of my favorite writers, Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan & a whole lot more).
BTW, just a little reminder: do read the rest of the blogs on this page. One's rather funny, another's asking for your help. And also, there are a whole bunch of other sections in this blog. Might rename them so that you guys actually click on it.
