AJ and The RJP (That’s your new name, man. Learn it, love it, put it on your business cards) were the only ones to answer my plea for opinions. AJ thought that I should devote a post to each issue, with the exception of ones that I have no real reaction to, for your maximum lulz. Robert thought I should do a post per story arc. This requires me to make the decision myself, which I was trying to avoid, but I’m doing it anyway.
AJ’s “maximum lulz” argument, combined with the fact that I can easily do at least one post per day, even over the upcoming Megacon weekend, made me fall in love with his idea and want to close voting early, but Robert’s point about each issue having its own post feeling like just another series of reviews was a good point, too.
So I split the difference and decided to do this somewhere along the lines of my Messiah Complex posts - I’ll try to give a running commentary on each issue, giving my initial impressions as I read, but they’ll all be lumped together into a post per story arc and I’ll also give my overall impressions. This may make for very long posts, but I’ll try to include visual cues so that you can skim past things that you’re not really interested in.
Hopefully this will make a good compromise and work out well, but I appreciate any feedback as to how it’s feeling and may change things up as we go.
Speaking of long posts, I planned on leading into the first issue from here, but it would be an incredibly long post if I lapsed into the entire arc, so I’ll just throw this up for now.
As we speak, I’m halfway through the first issue and I have alot of commentary that will have to be trimmed down now that it won’t be getting its own post. Off the top of my head, I have no idea how many issues this arc is, and probably couldn’t give much of a guess as to how long it’ll take me to get through them and post even if I did know how many issues there were.
How about Monday? I should be able to get through the first arc by then, even with Megacon going on. If I get it up before then, happy surprise! Otherwise, let’s all meet back here on Monday evening.
In the meantime, Friday Night Fights has been delayed until the 14th, so any posts between now and Monday will most likely be Megacon-related, but it’s my first con, so I may be too busy running around being a fanboy to even post about that
Have a nice weekend, folks!
