Brought on by a conversation with the ever-lovin’ Jeff Lester this afternoon, I’ve been wondering about the current Comic Internet Tastemakers, and who they are these days.

Actually, what I’m really wondering is, are there Comic Internet Tastemakers these days? Are there sites that set the conversation and can break creators/series on a reliable basis? Are there writers whose recommendations the masses can’t pass up?

CBR tends to set the news agenda, if only because of scale and access. But in terms of actually tastemaking, is it Comics Alliance? Someone/somewhere else? Is ComicsInternet 2014 too decentralized for the idea to even make sense?
