I am now officially giving up on UK-based comics news sites.
You'd think they would be there to promote British comics, but no, in fact they seem to exist largely to indulge their owner's interest in television science fiction.
So, whilst my attempts to get them to mention Walking Wounded #2 to their readers have fallen on deaf ears, if a sodding Stargate DVD is released that seems to be worthy of immediate and extensive coverage.
Ironically, I have seen more than one of these sites moan about their failure to get nominated for this year's Eagle Awards and yet if they won't support British comics to any significant degree how can they expect the British comics community to support them?
Furthermore these sour grapes seemed to prevent the proper reporting of even the Eagles. It was not until I saw the SFX report on the commencement of voting for the Eagle Awards that I even realized Massacre for Boys got a mention in the press release.
So, rather than waste any more time or effort trying to get UK comics news sites to mention us, I am now turning my attention to US comic news sites and UK print publications. Still a waste of time, I expect, but if you're words are going to fall on deaf ears, they may at least be important deaf ears!
