The former Blog@ writers have found a new online home at CBR with a new blog entitled Robot 6. The former co-workers and forever colleagues which include J.K. Parkin and Kevin Melrose seem to have landed on their feet after leaving Newsarama — little known fact, I wrote for CBR briefly before I joined Newsarama.com. And (and!) I briefly wrote for the group’s earliest incarnation, The Great Curve (R.I.P.).

Congratulations guys — I look forward to reading.

This week, Newsarama.com is running a series of articles I wrote things to look for in the coming year. Entitled ‘9 To Watch in ‘09′, the first three days are about comics (characters, creators, series/books) and the last two go wider (movies, television).

The first article is online, and is about 9 Comic Characters To Watch in ‘09. My top pick is Marvel Comics’ Wolverine, whose 2009 will be his biggest yet with one live-action movie, one animated television series, four ongoing solo comic book series and countless roles in various ensemble comic books.

Clearly one of the most engaging political seasons for a variety of reasons, questions emerged almost at every juncture in the writhing campaign season. Although I am not a politcal wonk, I am a process junkie and a lover of “behind the scenes”  stories and - most importantly — design. It’s because of this that this blog post scratches that itch so much.

Website LogoDesignLove has outlined the rough draft designs for Barack Obama’s “O” Logo that were done by Sol Sender. Sender was interviewed earlier this month by VSA Partners.
