Not Comics: The Beat Moves To PW

Major changes in the on-line comics coverage landscape this summer, including but not limited to:

1. Wizard Entertainment relaunches site.
2. Comic Book Resources adds Comics Should Be Good.
3. The Great Curve Becomes Newsarama's Blog.
4. TCJ Announces Dirk Deppey to Re-Start Journalista as Focus Point of New, More Aggressive Web Presence.

Today, we get number five. Heidi "The Beat" MacDonald is due to join Publishers Weekly today as their new comics blogger. The industry veteran already works for the company as a co-editor of their PWCW newsletter. As soon as I'm aware of the new URL, this sentence will become a link.

Also remember a projected #6, Tokyopop relaunching its site with more original content, including some lifestyle material.

For those that keep asking, I don't plan on changing much around here. I've had no offers to join anyone's team. I want to tweak the structure of the site by summer's end to make things easier to find, and I'm only at about 10 percent of where I should be by year's end in terms of original content on a daily basis, so hopefully that will happen. I'm a comics guy, not a movie guy or a sharing guy, and plan to have new stuff up on every type of comic from every world tradition every single morning from now until I find something else I want to do as much as I like doing this.
