In a given day, I will see hundreds of links to Web comics, reviews, press releases, gallery show announcements, artists’ sites, antique comic strips, amusing Silver Age comics covers, interviews with artists, interviews with writers, interviews with editors, bloggers’ links to each other, and bloggers’ snark at each other. What it amounts to is a score of people saying, “Hey, I thought you might find this interesting!” to me simultaneously, but without the kind of interaction that a conversation with a friend would have or the depth of analysis that a single person, writing about comics craft using single pages in two comics as examples, might have. The comments on comics blogs—again, like comments on blogs on all the Internet—often display a breathtaking lack of critical reading and thinking skills. There is much breadth but little depth.
