Sorry, everyone, the news post will be late this morning. I have a review almost ready to go, too, but I had to stop and learn some new software so I can post here.
(Click for extremely cute chibis as well as profound content)
Yes, it’s official: After months of high-level negotiations, Good Comics For Kids has moved onto the website of School Library Journal. We’re not changing the focus—it will still be ten bloggers writing and arguing about any comic designed for readers under 18—but we think this will bring comics to a wider audience. Plus the SLJ folks are super-nice and we’re in company with a host of interesting bloggers. So reset your RSS feeds and hold on to your hats!
About Brigid Alverson
Brigid Alverson has been reading comics since she was 4. After earning an MFA in printmaking, she headed to New York to become a famous artist but ended up working with words instead of pictures, first as a book editor and later as a newspaper reporter. She started
MangaBlog to keep track of her daughters’ reading habits and now covers manga, comics and graphic novels as a freelancer for
School Library Journal,
Publishers Weekly Comics Week,
Comic Book Resources, the
Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, and
Robot 6. She also edits the
Good Comics for Kids blog at School Library Journal. Now settled in the outskirts of Boston, Brigid is married to a physicist and has two daughters.
Congrats on the move.
Goodness, you make an adorable SD character….
She looks like Yukito from CCS. :)
Congrats! I’m a little bummed about the RSS feed being excerpts only though, although I understand Library Journal wants their clicks.
Thanks, everyone! I should give credit here for the chibis—they were done by Dan Hess, the creator of Angel Moxie and Realms of Ishikaze. Sorry about the RSS, Anna—I don’t run things, or I’d fix it.
The chibis are indeed cute, and the content profound! :D I hope the move turns out to be all you hope for!
