What is Comics Analysis?

[penciljack]

I'll say that, at the moment, breaking this forum into subsections by publishers, or whatever, isn't on the table. That's not to say that one day we won't choose to do that, but right now I'm more concerned with getting quality reviews than how to break them up, you know?

I checked out the Millarworld thing, and it's not really what I had in mind. I don't necessarily think we need 2,000-word reviews for every comic, but I was hoping for more than anecdotal, one-paragraph reviews as seems to be the norm with their method.

I really wasn't thinking that the WHOLE forum would be limited to the stickies. And the bought/thought thread would really be more like what people put in Benito's ship lists right now after they've bought what they thought they would. I figured it'd be a separate thing to the in-depth reviews that would be hopefully make up the rest of the forum. Then again, maybe just drop the bought/thought thread, because I can see how that may be too much.

But for the stickies, I think having a weekly shiplist sticky and a monthly solicitation sticky would be a'ight.

It was my understanding that a couple of moderators, for instance, were hot to trot over the idea of a comics review forum, but they're nowhere to be found, it seems .....

I'm sorry, I overslept.

Besides, does anyone really want to encourage me to post more? I'm trying to cut back!



I like the idea of the ship list here as well... people might take cues from the reviews when checking the lists and looking for something new to read.

I'm hoping to participate a lot more in the near future, this has just been a really hectic couple weeks and my internet time has taken a big hit. I'm really looking forward to digging in and reviewing soon though. That's my two cents.

...huh...wha?!

Oh. Dammit. I overslept, too.

Alright, alright. I'm up. I'M UP! Jeez.

Okey doke. I was one of those "hot to trot" moderators, and since I finally stepped up to the plate, I've been knighted.

I'll be the sumbitch moderatin' this here interweb reviewymajiggy.

So, folks. Let's go. I see that every week you people are spending the money on this garbage, so let's see you talk about it.

And let's try to keep it a bit more than "it's teh sux0rs!" or "meh" or "tenboner explosivo". Actually, that last one is mine, so don't use it.

So, people, let's get crackin'. If you really like a book, this is your chance to sell it. Spread the word.

I can't WAIT.

This forum has a ton of potential, and I can't wait until it gets going full swing.

Quiet, YOU!

Yeah, I remember my first few weeks of mod-hood. I was all starry-eyed and full of gumption and promise for the future. The ideas of where I would take the forum spilled out of my head in a flurry of posts and emails.

Then reality set in and I was given a hard knocks lesson from the Man. Life, it seems, has a way of getting in the way of living.
