Eisner Nominated News Site ComicsAlliance Shut Down

Here's a decent story on it. This was told to people at Stumptown Comics Fest before the weekend as a potential blogging panel focused on ComicsAlliance folks was canceled and then re-booted as a more general blogging panel. News of the move of the War Rocket Ajax podcast to Chris Sims' own site preceded the leaked news this morning.

My understanding is that four people were fully employed by the site, and that the freelancers were paid, which makes this a casualty in terms of the prose market for writers about the arts as well as a loss for comics.

I wish all of those people the best, and that they stick around comics in some capacity. I enjoyed reading that site.
