Slightly interesting to me is that the articles (comic interviews, details, etc.) are consistently a higher quality at Newsarama.

At least so far.

@Guy LeCharles Gonzalez -

Yeah, I figure besides paying more, CBR can also get them more exposure than they’d get on their own and they don’t have to mess around trying to generating either for themselves. And see, you’re the perfect example of the kind of visitor I was saying Newsarama wouldn’t get outside of Blog@

Hmmm…. That’s a weird move for both sides, but I guess they opted for hitching another ride instead of carving their own path. I’d have been tempted to go independent if I were them, but presumably CBR is paying more than they could have generated on their own.

I don’t think there’s any significant overlap between the two blogs, though. Blog@ is kind of like what Comic Foundry wanted to be, whereas CSBG is more like a TwoMorrows publication. Both were the only sections of their respective motherships I’ve checked in on in over two years now.
