Comic Discussion?

[toranoko.livejournal.com]

First off, love the community!! A lot.

And now, getting to the point of my post...

I finished Avengers/Invaders #2 today, and I got to thinking that a comics discussion post on this comm might be kind of fun. (And helpful, because like... how often does Tony and, to some extent, Steve, appear in the Marvel universe now?)

So I was wondering if anyone was actually interested. Maybe something like weekly or monthly discussion posts?

Personally, I think it would be pretty fun. But that depends on if people actually can/want to discuss things and how they play towards Tony and Steve. (Okay, I admit I might want to gush about angsty!Tony just a little...)

But I'm not sure how easy or convenient it could be though. Since there is a lot going on -- just thinking off the top of my head, Avengers/Invaders, Secret Invasion, hopefully we get something from 1985, plus the Captain America and Iron Man titles -- it would be kind of easy to end up getting spoiled for something you really didn't want to know yet. But maybe it could work?

But yeah, thought I might as well post this and see what others thought. Comments? Ideas? :)

There can never be enough comics talk. People have suggested two options, weekly round up, or individual posts. I favour individual posts because not everyone will be reading issues at the same time. It's also easier to archive on an issue by issue basis. So if you're going back six months, and you want to know what people had to say about DoS # 25, it's easier to just go to a DoS25 thread, than a Week of... thread. I do see the advantages of a round up post - it's easier to talk about trends that way. But even in a large comm like scans_daily I don't find it difficult to carry on conversations across multiple posts.
