I've been waiting a long time for chadwilliam to bring his deep knowledge, incisive analyses, and outrageous wit to a review thread of his own, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results in Peer into the Eyes of The Spectre. He takes such simplistic stories and gives them far more thought than Bailey and Siegel ever did. Most impressive yet, he's taken a run that most of us have never read nor given much consideration to, and generated lively discussion with many active participants, each bringing their own unique perspectives to the discussion. It's a total pleasure to follow and participate in. Well done, Chad!

Happy to second chadwilliam’s Spectre review thread, for all the reasons you mentioned, shax, and for the gracious way he invites and responds to other’s ideas and comments.

I wish to nominate Games of Death and Deceit from the proliferate codystarbuck as he covers a long running (know the longer series reviews can tire some reviewers out) series that deserves the praise and the occasional knocks of its gloriously 70's beginnings and evolution into the superior spy/thriller/kung fu action it became. It is a phenomenal ongoing review (still not nearing the end) and Cody manages to educate and entertain us with discussion of the writing, art, concepts and characters.

I nominate another codystarbuck review thread: Roy Thomas' All-Star Squadron . A great review thread of one of my favorite series ever published. It is filled with a great synopsis of each issue with art. It has humor BUT best of all is the historical facts supplied after each review that educates and entertains at the same time. One of cody's best review threads!

Hey thanks very much for this nomination - this is great! I've been nominated for "Poster most likely to just be a monkey slamming his fists into a keyboard" and "Most Offensive Hygiene" but this one is an honour!

At the risk of annoying shaxper, I nominate New Teen Titans and beyond. This series was a phenomenon when it landed and was the biggest new run for DC in years. Shax lovingly takes apart each issue to see what makes it tick and his write ups create lively discussion and even, I dare say, arguments. I'm glad he revived it. TITANS TOGETHER!
