Well, it’s official. Up now is the first post from JKParkin and his crew (and some friends), introducing Robot 6, their new blog about comics, hosted over at Comic Book Resources.
Robot 6 is a new comics blog by many of the folks from the old Blog@Newsarama. In addition to Kevin and me, you’ll also find Lisa Fortuner, Tom Bondurant, Michael May, Melissa Krause, Stephanie Chan, Tim O’Shea and Chris Mautner here. You’ll also find a couple of people whose names you might recognize from the comics industry – Jennifer de Guzman from SLG Publishing and Larry Young of AiT/Planet Lar fame
Stop by and say hi now, but their official launch isn’t until Monday. If you’ve missed Tom’s Trinity Annotations, there’s a new one of those over there, too.
Best of luck, folks. We’re glad you have a home again!

While I’m sorry that things didn’t work out for them to have a go of it on their own, as JK said they wanted to do, I think they’re making a prudent move, given conditions being what they are, and I wish them the best of luck.

Why exactly did they leave?

Very gracious post, and I’ll be sure to read both sites regularly.

More comic books journalism is good for everyone.
Excited for the launch.

Kinda feels like they are doing that…but being sponsored by IDW and hosted by CBR, cuz really, they’re not the CBR blog at all…they’re their own separate thing.

Very classy to share this link with us, Lucas. Well done.

not to stir things, but why wouldn’t Blog@ point it out?

Because they write for your primary competitor now? It’s nice to see when Newsarama and CBR link to each other. That’s all.
