Rich Johnston To Either Launch Own Site Or To Declare Himself King Of Rumors As Publicity Vehicle

As rumored yesterday morning, the longtime comics-industry gossip columnist Rich Johnston is apparently leaving his longtime weekly column "Lost In The Gutters" at Comic Book Resources and starting his own blog, to be called BleedingCool.com. The full twitter posting as forwarded to me by someone who probably doesn't sound an old man talking about these things is, "Next Monday. A new blogsite begins. BleedingCool.com. Imagine LITG four times a day, seven days a week. Bookmark the site." Going to the suggested URL fails to yield a placeholder, however, and there is always room with these kinds of announcements for Internet shenanigans. I guess we find out on Monday.

Johnston's I guess still-current column is one of the most popular on the Comic Book Resources site, and may be one of the most popular on-line sources for comics news and rumors, period. It is also one of the oldest, stretching back across a decade and a half, or, in Internet time, 1400 years.
