On Various Magazine-Related Stories

* Although Guy LeCharles Gonzalez appreciates Tim Leong's candidness, he criticizes what he feels is a lack of planning and preparation for his Comic Foundry project.

* Warren Ellis weighs in on the Comic Foundry story and writes about the kind of criticism he'd like to see.

* Not comics, but sort of related given the above: the writer and critic Richard Schickel attacks blogging again, which is the kind of retro criticism and widespread irritant that one might want to get behind just to be contrary. Unfortunately, it's way too Grandpa Simpson-ish to take seriously.

* Hervé St-Louis of Comic Book Bin looks at the latest in a series of cross-promotional efforts between North America's most popular news/review site about comics and the latest big-company item of interest and asks if you can trust Newsarama. Fair question. The answer is you should never trust any media source, including this one. This is good for the reader in that it promotes a mind set that allows the engagement of truth bigger than and distinct from any piece of news coverage or single point of view, and it's good for publications in that it absolves them of the responsibility to look respectable, putting the focus on actual impropriety rather than appearance of same.
