R.I.P. ComicsAlliance

Probably my favorite comics site. While they did seem to promote the projects of their friends too frequently (seems like a conflict of interest and possible abuse of their platform) those friends' projects were ususally GOOD and compelling stuff. They had several great writers including Chris Sims and David Brothers, who both wrote some of the best comics criticism i've ever read. I'll miss this site. There was much less corporate ball licking here than on Comic Book Resources and other sites, who are in bed with Marvel and DC. This site turned me on to a lot of cool stuff, and they generally got it right most of the time. The tone of the site and the reviews was spot on.
