..on review type threads? I mean, I enjoy the write-up's you guys do on the home page, so I dont want to steal anyone's thunder. But I think having a thread here also for books makes it easier to talk about.

Not that every book that came out that week needs it's own thread.. But if theres certain issues I want to talk about, is making a thread for them kosher, or do the PTB prefer to keep things generalized on this side?

I'd be keen also to post in review threads but as LordD3r3k says only if it's cool with people.

I'm not a mod or anything, but I say go for it. Especially if you aren't doing every frigging issue that comes out, and have something inciteful to say.

Which is what I'm sure they'll say, but y'know.. I'd like to start things off right if I'm going to post here regularly Laughing Wink

Just gave a bit of a schpiel about this:

You all can make threads about weekly floppy releases or you can just comment on the reviews we do throughout each week.

If you want to see more daily reviews by all means tell us! We're always looking for feedback. And the nice thing is ya'll know us and we post here daily at all hours thanks to my insomnia and Tomer's habitation of the Promised Land.

Although I always thought it'd be more efficient to make like a "Title" Thread instead of an per issue thread. This way you can have "Official Batman Thread" "Official Invicible Thread" "Official Thunderbolts Thread" and poof no empty threads needlessly posted. One shots, events, and minis can have their whole own threads if need be. How's that sound?

Also note that reviews on the site itself are part of the site's content that the staff put up that actually circulate onto google news and other RSS aggregators. Its content not covered by our weekly columns and features.

Feel free to discuss and make threads for reviews.

Ya, having a ton of issue review threads can get a bit cumbersome. A per title review thread seems better here.

Please don't bring up anything about a reviews forum...

I suggest making a weekly post with the list of books coming out that week (Marvel books on the Marvel forum, for example) and let any discussion/review flow from there on. Just start with the title of the issue you're talking about so people will avoid it if they don't want to be exposed to spoilers, but also put a spoiler warning appropriately.

That seems like it would get cluttered. There are a TON of books that come out in a week, and to try to navigate a thread that has reviews for maybe a dozen (or more) books would get annoying. Having a Batman thread, a X-Men thread, etc. seems like it would be easier.

Yeah, I'd like that too. It definitely helped getting prepared for Wednesday and knowing what to look for. Perhaps RWE would still be good enough to do it here?

That's why I suggested just making a thread for that specific title you want to talk about and not everything that came out. I mean, if no one bought Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters, then you're not going to see a thread about it. But if I want to talk about Green Lantern #45, and someone wants to talk about Green Lanterns best rogues, that's all supposed to be lumped into a general Green Lantern thread? That would get annoying in my opinion.

Not everyone reads all the Batman books or all the X-men books. The thread will get cluttered with people talking about different books at the same time.

Yeah, that might be the way to go, making a thread for the title/issue you want to talk about. It would keep from having a thread about a book no one read. However, it still might work to have a general thread for the overall comic, and have it be for conversation about the comic (and not discuss things like a favorite rogue or something like that). Though, I still like the idea of a separate thread for each issue. It'd keep it easier to know what issue was being discussed.

True. Maybe then we should have a separate thread for each book. Have a Batman thread, a Batman & Robin thread, a Detective Comics thread, etc.

Okay, after giving this some more thought, my vote goes to just having a separate thread for each issue, but not make a thread for each book comes out, just the ones people want to talk about (so in other words, LordD3r3k's idea).

I don't know what the big hate-on for reviews is for, but a per title thread in the appropriate forum (Marvel titles in Marvel, DC in DC, etc.) is the best way to go. Besides, as a consumer of the Comics Industry, having access to reviews of titles by other consumers of said industry is a great asset. Would probably draw more people to the forum. Its how I ended up on WUMB in the first place.

I would be MOST in favor of one thread per title:

Batman [Review thread]
Batman & Robin [Review thread]
Detective Comics [Review thread]

So on and so forth. Now, if you just want to talk about a title in general, and not specific issues, do your own thread. That's fine.

Next best, in my opinion, is a thread for each issue, as people feel the need to talk about it. Can it get cluttered? Absolutely, which is why I'd try to keep it to a thread per title. But I can understand if people want to keep issues separate.

As for what's coming out each week... www.midtowncomics.com has the best, most comprehensive list on the net. I visit them weekly, and I recommend others do the same. But if there's really a demand, maybe one of us will just start posting that list here.

i'm kinda in favor of indvidual title thread and another thread for minis, or even a family grouping like one Superman family thread, one Batman family, an Avengers family, Hulk, ect.
