Good Sites for Keeping up on Comics

Well...the Comics forum was no help.

Anyways, I want to be kept up on the world of comics. I'm not new to them or anything I've been reading intermittently since I was 7 but I want to keep up on the best and newest stuff. From DC and Marvel to indie stuff I want to know what's good or what just might be interesting.

What are your suggestions for sites that give good comprehensive coverage?

    If you want to learn the history and how the big events effected certain people your best bet would be Wikipedia. Works great for marvel but when it comes to DC they tend to keep legacys going for decades so making sure you get books on their big things, mainly the crisises, would keep you floating.

    No.

    I want the Pitchfork/Rolling Stone Equivalent...
    I know IGN covers comics but what else is good?

    Lets see, this what you looking for?

    http://www.weeklycrisis.com/
    http://www.comicbookresources.com/#
    http://www.newsarama.com/

    Honestly I use the Previews book and I look around the Comic Forum here to get an idea of what to read.

    I've been watching iFanboy to keep me updated. Their audio and video podcasts are my favorites.

    JOURNALISTA is my one-stop comic news website.

    Both american, and manga, a wee bit of euro comics. Lots of indi.
    A very broad selection, big updates every few dates; easy to follow, fast to load.
    i pretty much deleted all of my other comic bookmarks.

    I just read the MOTW thread here, Weekly Crisis, and Ain't it Cool, and I feel like I know what's going on.
