JaceHOST
It's just really sad.
JaceHOST
This was one of the few places where you could go and get substantial original coverage of comics and comic conventions, not just the listicles that we get from like CBR and Newsarama, you know, recycled press releases and things focusing on movie and television.
JaceHOST
So again, it's, uh, It's quite disappointing.
JaceHOST
So, again, I hope everybody there lands on their feet.
Kevin HinesHOST
Comic book resources was great.
Kevin HinesHOST
There was Newsarama.
Kevin HinesHOST
There was, like, a bunch of really great comic book news, uh, websites that are all gone and/or bad now.
Will HinesHOST
Hmm.
Kevin HinesHOST
And they sort of become, like, kinda unreadable.
Kevin HinesHOST
And I don't go to- I haven't been to those sites in forever.
Kevin HinesHOST
I think Newsarama might be just completely gone at this point.
Kevin HinesHOST
But comic book resources, the last few times I've been there, which is not any time recently, I just sort of found the site unreadable.
Brock SagerHOST
dude just just comic news needs to come back make a comeback
Ryan HigginsHOST
JCN Network let's go let me read the official response from ReadPop about the closure of Popverse Popverse was a popular enough comic and kind of media news site it was run through ReadPop and all their conventions and stuff why it's known to comic people mostly and some of us here is it was a lot of the former Newsarama staff So Graham McMillan worked there for a long time, Chris Arendt and a bunch of other people that me and Kevin both known for a while.
Ryan HigginsHOST
I think Toby, did you meet? Did you meet Chris at Comic-Con a couple years ago? Yeah, that was the night
Kevin SharpHOST
at the Hilton bar when Chris was just by himself.
JaceHOST
So they would have more coverage of panels than you would get at other shows.
JaceHOST
Editor-in-chief there, Chris Arendt, who came over from Newsarama when Newsarama went belly up and very respected, very much – Not listicle, not clickbait journalism, but one of the few legitimate, not rumor mongers, but above board, really high quality coverage comics journalism.
JaceHOST
And they're closing down.
JaceHOST
And they're closing down before the end of this month after they've already teased a huge amount of coverage from New York Comic Con.
JaceHOST
It's terrible.
JaceHOST
There's so many – I mean you know this as well as I do, Rocky.
JaceHOST
There used to be plenty of sites you could go to, comic book resources founded by Jonah Weiland being one of the great ones, right? Newsarama, another great one.
JaceHOST
And now so many of them, IGN is kind of in the same boat as well.
JaceHOST
There's not one good place to go and get it.
JaceHOST
And some of the bigger sites that used to be around comic book resources, Newsarama, have... pivoted to covering mostly other mediums, film, television.
JaceHOST
And when you do get an article, a lot of times it's just a top 10.
JaceHOST
It's just instead of an article, it's what they call a listicle.
JaceHOST
We've seen staffs reduced.
JaceHOST
We've seen longtime comics journalists lose their positions.
JaceHOST
You know, Chris Arendt, as I mentioned, he was with Newsarama for a really long time and ran that site.
JaceHOST
And it was great until it wasn't, right, until his staff was reduced.
SeanHOST
And I'm going to let Mark Miller tell it.
SeanHOST
This is through Newsarama.
SeanHOST
We just sat around for three days.
SeanHOST
And as we always do with these things, we spent the first couple of days plotting everything out and then just chatting about it.
13 MINS LATER
SeanHOST
Well, I think he's got a good point.
SeanHOST
And he talks about both Cap and Iron Man's sides and what they represent in this book.
SeanHOST
And this is Newsarama.
SeanHOST
One represents the past and one represents the future, but they both represent America.
JaceHOST
You could go and find these reviews.
JaceHOST
That was back when comic book resources was actually a good site, Newsarama, some of these other sites.
JaceHOST
And in the days of Tumblr, when Tumblr was a thing.
JaceHOST
But that all went away as I got more and more down the rabbit hole of producing my own content.
Alex SeguraGUEST
Uh, I've worked in comics in some form since I was just out of high school.
Alex SeguraGUEST
You know, I wrote for websites like Newsarama.
Alex SeguraGUEST
I worked at wizard magazine.
Alex SeguraGUEST
I did publicity at DC comics.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
And I eventually had the opportunity to write comics.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
And I, um, Matt Brady, who was co-founder of Newsarama, who was my editor at Newsarama, a friend of mine.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
And I were doing pitches and, And, you know, one thing leads to another kind of deal.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
We had pitched and successfully written a Buck Rogers annual for Dynamite.
7 MINS LATER
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
Oh yeah.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
Which I didn't mention this, but you know it, but, um, and I think I've probably talked about it on, on the show in previous things.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
Um, writing for Newsarama, I had the opportunity to go to the set of the dark night.
Troy BrownfieldGUEST
Oh, okay.
TonyHOST
our reviews would automatically get included in there.
TonyHOST
And, you know, other people, you know, comic book resources or Newsarama, you know, everyone who was reviewing comic books today, they would appear there.
TonyHOST
And it was cool because it's, you can see, like, let's say, for example, let's say, like, okay, Dynamite, Vampirella number five came out.
TonyHOST
Right now, let me refresh.
