Aaaaand We're Off! (Er, Kinda)

The pop-culture site for which I'm blogging and writing a column is called ComicMix. Bookmark it now, then come back later to see what's behind the placeholder. I know I will.

Here's the Publishers Weekly article about us. (I believe I'm allowed to be presumptuous in this case and use the first person plural.) Here's the breaking news from Pop Thought. Check out the first paragraph. I'm extremely psyched to be working with these people, some of whom can very accurately be described as comics legends.

You want official? Okie-doke, here's the press release:
