As there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of comic book related blogs and websites, it is nearly impossibly to list even a fraction of them on my sidebar without having it extend down into oblivion, effectively never being seen by people. As such, I decided to create a dedicated link section, divided into several sections, such as Publishers, Blogs, Forums and so on.
While I'd love to have every possible comic site listed, I'm trying to keep it to sites that have exceptional quality, update on a regular basis, have unique content or are content leaders in their respective categories, such as news sites or forums.
This is only a starter list and I intend to go through most of them again to make sure they are sites I'd actually go to or feel provide something of value to my readers. If you would like to have your site listed and feel it meets the criteria or matches the quality of the sites I've currently listed, feel free to drop me a link, through my contact form, with a general description of what the site is about (blog, reviews, news, misc., forum, etc).

Comics212 - Blog that covers various interesting topics.
Comics Alliance - Only recently came across it, but quickly becoming a favourite of mine. Chris, from the ISB contributes here, too.
Comics Blips - Not a blog, but a social media site, much like Digg.com, that I've been frequenting lately. Aggregates all of the comic news into one spot, allows readers to vote stories up or down and submit anything they think is noteworthy or comics related.
Comics Should Be Good! - Comic Book Resources' blog and one of the blogs I regularly check out.
Comics Worth Reading - Johanna Draper Carlson's blog. Covers variety of topics.
Loli Loves Venom - Cute comic about a young girl (aka a loli) and Venom. Start from the beginning to understand some of the running jokes.

New Age Comics with Andrenn - Blog from Weekly Crisis reader and regular commenter, Andrenn. Features news, reviews and just about anything comic related.
Panels of Awesome - Source for the latest news, reviews, thoughts and columns on anything and everything super-powered related.
Robot 6 -When the majority of the Blog@Newsarama team left after the Imaginova merger, they all migrated to Comic Book Resources and formed Robot 6. Definitely worth checking out.
Rokk's Comic Book Revolution - Features thorough, in-depth reviews of a handful of the weekly comic releases.
The Life of Reilly - An archive of the Life of Reilly, an in-depth column about the infamous Clone Saga from the point of view of one of the editors. Features interviews, behind the scenes coverage and goes into great detail about the failings of the Clone Saga. A must read for anyone that read the Clone Saga or believes all the misconceptions spread by people on message boards. There's actually a book coming out that will collect all of these articles and will feature more interviews and information.
The Other Murdock Pages - A Daredevil oriented blog that focuses on all things Daredevil.
The Source - DC Comics' new blog. Mostly PR related stuff so far with lots of nice watermark-free artwork, but I'm hoping they'll eventually add more opinion oriented posts.
All Other Comic Book Blogs / Sites I Peruse
