The Bookshelf - Guidelines

Post by Bamfette »

This section of the board was created because we realized that more and more people were jumping onto the TPB bandwagon, and were avoiding discussion threads about their favorite comics as a result, because they wanted to avoid spoilers, and felt they would have nothing new to contribute or speculate about.

So, as a result, there is only 1.5 rules here (aside form the forum wide rules, of course) If the book being discussed is a currently ongoing series (Fables, Y, X-Men, 100 Bullets, etc.) no issues that are not yet currently in a TPB are to be discussed. this is to avoid spoilers for those who do not read the single issues at all. As an extension of this, (the .5 part) if people are speculating about events in a series that also has monthly issues, there will be no telling people that their speculation is wrong, due to what you've read in an issue not yet in trade format. Not even if you use spoiler tags are such comments allowed. This place is meant to be a place where people who do NOT read single issues can discuss their favorite books without feeling they're behind the discussion or get spoiled about something 10 issues away.

Of course if the series being discussed was once an ongoing series but is not anymore (Sandman, Transmet, Preacher, JTHM, Lenore ( ;) ), etc.) or was written as a standalone Graphic Novel (Maus, Blankets, The Dreamhunters, etc.) pretty much any discussion goes, and this forum is the natural place to discuss series that have not seen a single issue come out for quite some time.
