The best source for comics news and information.

Comics Buyers Guide comes out weekly and offers lots of news and commentary about comic books and related fields, along with feature articles about comic companies, characters, and comics history, and of course, lots of ads for comics and related products.

CBG (as it's usually abbreviated) is indispensible to the serious comic book fan or collector, whether it's used to find comics to fill holes in their collection, to sell off comics (via free classified ads that subscribers get), or to keep up with news and views of the field. I don't buy as many comics as I used to, but I still enjoy reading CBG every week.

Highlights include the amusing and insightful columns by Peter David and Mark Evanier, as well as (on the rare occasions he writes one these days) Bob Ingersoll's "The Law is A Ass", a column commenting on the use or misuse of the legal system in comic stories.

Relative to other comics-related publications, I would classify CBG as "middlebrow", in between the "lowbrow" Wizard (catering to "fanboys" mostly into recent superhero stuff by "hot" artists) and the "highbrow" Comics Journal (highly elitist, into far-out alternative stuff and disdainful of anything "mainstream"). Thus, you get the most balanced coverage of the full spectrum of the comics world, with a wide range of perspectives on both mainstream and alternative material.
