A new Sub Forum for "New Comics", separate from the "Modern Comics" sub forum? The Modern Comics forum is great, truly, but it has defaulted to discussions focused almost exclusively on stuff that's brand new, and everything from *about* 1993-2007 has entered the vast wasteland of apathy.

 

Pretty please...?

For the most part, these books belong in the vast wasteland of apathy. (shrug)

I think the copper forum should be renamed to Copper/Modern, and the Modern forum renamed to "New Releases".

 

Actually making another section would be overkill, since only like 5 people frequent the copper section.

For the most part, this overgeneralization is incorrect.

It's a rare day I post in Copper. Maybe you may want to rethink that.

Uh-huh. meh

 

Because to generalize, the majority of books from '93 to '07 were well-written, with great art? By all means, please make your case....

 

'93 to '00 was perhaps the worst creative period in comics history. '00 to '07 was much better, but, for the most part, deserving of my comment above.

If this era doesn't generate a huge amount of interest in its designated section - why would creating a sub-forum improve traffic or postings? Better to get cross-traffic from those interested in recent releases, even if it is mostly about TWD and Chew. It's not like topics get pushed off the first page in a day or two.

The vast majority of books from any era are not "well-written, with great art." What's your point?

That's a fair question, and I'll give you a fair answer: because any discussion not concerning new releases is quickly buried under the avalanche of discussion about new releases.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with new releases. Not at all. As the 12 Walking Dead threads can attest, it's very much a necessary sub forum on the boards.

 

Meaningful discussion HAS occured in Modern concerning "not new releases", but it has been rare, and such discussion, again, gets buried. Better attempts have actually occured in Copper, so COI's idea about a "Copper/Modern" and "New Releases" is a good one, too.

 

Either way, New Releases should be its own sub forum.

 

Yay? Nay?

Nah. 93-96 was. 96-2000 was actually pretty good. You had Bone, Preacher, Sandman, Kingdom Come, Astro City, JLA, Thunderbolts, Cerebus, Strangers in Paradise, Fathom (which actually had a nice premise), Kevin Smith's Daredevil, Ellis' Stormwatch, Authority, and Planetary (yes, there's overlap)...there was actually a lot that was really, really good.

 

93-96 IS a vast wasteland, but after the contraction in 96-97, it wasn't so bad at all.

 

And this would be a PERFECT discussion in that sub-forum. :)
