Linda Holmes is one of the most articulate of today's pop-culture critics, and she now has a blog at National Public Radio. I've added the link in the Perpetual Haven of Links on the left, so you needn't memorize her name or my recommendation. But, in the meantime, let me recommend the blog itself. While her commentaries tend toward the TV-centric (e.g., her Sept. 5 post "So: What's So New about New Fall TV?"), her site is home to occasional guest blogs about comics. There's the Mo Willems "Radio Cartoonist" competition. And Glen Weldon actually focuses on current comics news (e.g., his Sept. 4 post "Marvel's Simian Super-Heroes and Other Monkeyshines").

I'm not going to link to those specific stories, because there's lots more to enjoy. Just click the appropriate "More Links" button to see for yourself.
