Linkfest: Enjoy the new look
Hey everyone! Like the new logo? We changed the name and URL of this site because of an unfortunate coincidence, but don’t worry—the old URL will still get you here, at least for a while.
There’s a preview of the YA (15+) vampire graphic novel Life Sucks up at MySpace right now, and here’s an old-ish review by Elizabeth Bird at the School Library Journal. I’m reading it right now myself, so watch for a review in a few weeks.
Xavier Guilbert interviews Linda Medley about Castle Waiting at the French zine du9. (Link is to the English version.)
ComicMix goes the extra mile and has an actual kid, Lillian Baker (daughter of Kyle) do the reporting on the Archie panel from NYCC’s Kids Day.
At Comics in the Classroom, Scott Tingley reviews Ray Friesen’s Another Dirt Sandwich, after a failed attempt to get his wife to do the heavy lifting.
Chris Wilson checks out the first three issues of White Picket Fences and recommends it with some reservations at The Graphic Classroom.
Greg McElhatton has a nice review of vol. 1 of Jellaby at Read About Comics.
I like the new logo and name (it makes more sense for your site, anyway). I did initially read the logo as “Comics for Kids Good” because the word “comics” is in the top left hand side and feels like it should be read first. Not sure if this is something that other people are seeing, though.
Comics for kids good! Me like that!
Perhaps we should go with a caveman theme…
Congrats on the more apt title and I hope to see you folks doing good work for a nice long time. The concept is a good one–for kids and for an industry that shoots itself in the foot sometimes trying to market to kids poorly.
Thanks for the plug for ComicMix, Brigid! Lillian’s one of our semi-regulars, she does movie reviews too. And she’s becoming a heck of an artist!
