Website For You

Beginning as a large link list, this site now boasts news, pictures, reviews, contests, and audio clips. A banner on every page lets visitors use a drop-down menu to jump to the different features, some of which are also found on the main page. These include "The Comics Wire," a twice-weekly news column (archived back to June 1998), "Master of the Obvious," an opinionated column by comics writer Steven Grant (who sees comics morphing into trade paperbacks), and "Comics2Film," which updates movies based on comics. The main page also offers daily reviews, contests, polls, "CBR Radio" (containing comic-themed songs), and Real Audio interviews with various comics professionals.

With the drop-down menu, visitors can go to various message boards, downloadable pictures, an FAQ, a list of comics being issued, and a link to the highly detailed preview catalogs from Diamond, the main distributor of comics and comics items.

The menu also leads to the Comic Links Database, which features more than 2000 unannotated links, divided into eight categories -- four major publishers, Independents, Self-Published comics, Stores, and Miscellaneous -- and many subcategories. The site has its own search engine, but the links are a good way to find official and unofficial sites relating to specific comics.
