Are you suggesting doing it reading-club style and everyone reads it in semi-synch (e.g, issue one on a Monday, two on a Tuesday, etc.) or just all go off and reread it and come back when we're done?
Yes, this should be done in a semi-synchronized fashion. We're reading this whole thing together.
i'd say set a handful of issues a week to be read, and then a start day for discussion of those issues.
that way folks can do an issue a day or several at once, depending on their schedule. if you get behind you can ignore the thread from wednesday, or whenever you decide the day is.
Toksik, you pretty much nailed it on the head right there. That's how it should be done, so that we do a handful of issues/week, and then do some serious/fun analysis.
if your discussion's about teh majeekue in and within the book you should probably have a thread for that angle in the temple, and then one here for the more trad literary critique.
Alright, I will go and start another thread in the Temple if there is enough interest in watching the magickal effects of this glorious hypersigil. So, is anyone else interested in that?
what a fuckin great comic.
It really, really is.
could we perhaps create links and recommended further reading for each section?
Abso-freakin-lutely.
The only thing I worry about is the first timers, because, if you've read the comic, you know that time plays a rather important role in foreshadowing and unravelling the mysteries of the play.
For example, it will come up that when we look at Dane's initial adventures with Tom O'Bedlam, we see 2 significant characters for a single panel, and then, like, 25 issues later, we see the same scene, except from the other person's perspective. What I'm trying to get at here is that I just want it ALL to be open to talk about during the whole run, and I don't want to have to worry about ruining the story for any new readers, because, it's just such a damn fine read.
I'd prefer a more critical analysis if nobody minds, examining the flaws in the series as well as gushing about Fanny.
Exactly man. Critical analysis, funny commentary, whatever. This is a group thing and everyone deserves to say whatever they want about this comic. Even if you hate it. Which, if you do, I would imagine you wouldn't be reading this thread at all.
So, we just need to agree upon a starting date, and if a Temple thread should be made. |
