They're part of the huge list of boards at the Comic Forums. It's not only about the ISR podcast (very little of it is, actually), but involves lots of interesting discussions about comics culture in general and art comics in particular.

I also follow the political threads at The Engine. Maybe a couple days a week I'll check out Bendis Board, TCJ, Comicon.com, The V and Dwayne McDuffie's boards (down for maintenance right now), and collectors-society boards. CBIA mainly.

It's been a downward spiral since the end of Civil War for me. I worry about money too much for funny books. I only visit you and Val, at this point, Heidi. Newsarama used to get me, but not so much anymore. Then again, I never really liked message boards much. Blogs are somehow better. I guess I like authority. I’m not really buying comics anymore.

There's Occasional Superheroine. Newsarama. I read ICV2 and the Comics Reporter regularly, and POV occasionally. The rest of my comics time online is spent reading comics, like Evil Inc. I mostly read via ink and paper. (If I get a better cell phone, this might change.) I've got so much stuff in my apartment to read, and much of it good, that I don't have time to search stuff online.

Its nice to be able to chat one on one with some of my favorite writers and artists too. David Lapham is my new hero from being on it. The Standard Attrition board is my new favorite place to post.
