PopCultureShock, Major Spoilers, Panels of Awesome & more team up at COMIXUP

Posted by: Jon Haehnle on January 9, 2009 at 2:31 pm

Fresh from the PCS lab: COMIXUP — “Comic book news, reviews, previews & commentary from the web’s best comic book sites & blogs”.

Although there are a couple existing comic news feed aggregators (none of which appeared on my radar before I started this project), COMIXUP goes a little further by adding site “avatars” and excerpts for each post, as well as categorizing them all for easier browsing. Additionally, COMIXUP also includes the latest posts from creator, publisher and retailer blogs.

This week I started including podcasts which you can listen to with the embedded audio player and videos which you can watch inline, plus recent images posted on DeviantArt. (As with every aspect of the site, I’ll be expanding things as we move along, but these three areas may be more worthy of the “BETA” label.)

COMIXUP is also running a banner exchange program — current partners include Comic Pants, Major Spoilers and Panels of Awesome. Thanks & shout-outs also go out to Johanna at Comics Worth Reading and Justin at 13 Minutes for posting COMIXUP announcements. (And yes, this is a blatant attempt at getting everyone to link to COMIXUP, whether it be with banners or without :)

If you?re interested in adding your feed, joining the network, or have any questions or suggestions about COMIXUP, please send me an email

Thank you,
-Jon Haehnle

[...] My PCS cohort Jon has hit us with another big idea– Comixup. It’s a feed aggregator plus network. Sites can trade links, banners, or whatever helps to try and make your mark. Hit up Jon if you want in, or check out the post on COMIXUP on PCS if you want more info. [...]
