I am just an old moaner that...
  • Prefers the old CPG forums to the new ones.
  • Did not like the changes Comic Book resources implemeted
  • Wish comics were still 20 pence.

but I still post on CPG, still read CBR and still buy comics..

but the new Newsarama.

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

And goodbye to them.

Can anyone recommend a good comics news site?

Earl.

I have to agree with you Earl.

I really haven't spent much time there since they switched over, but what I saw really turned me off the site.  However, it is likely this has more to do with me being used to the old site and how it was configured. 

I feel the same way about CBR's switch, though in that case I really don't use the main CBR site I use their RSS feeds.  I just get the headlines pipped into Outlook and go through them every day or so.  I don't have to deal with the funny site formats or ads.

It appears that Newsarama now has RSS feeds, so i might check those out and see how well they work.

By the way, it appears that Newsarama is still keeping their old site up and updated.  http://classic.newsarama.com/

If you are on the new main page, they have a link to Newsarama v 1.0 under the search bar at the top of the page.

i hate the new look. I don't understand why they have to add non comics stuff to their website.

It's like Wizard Mag, I swear half that mag doesn't even focus on the actually comic book.

Don't like it myself. Too many comic-centric magazines and websites trying to cover the whole pop culture thing IMO.

I also dropped newsarama after they changed the look. I feel lost in the new site.
