 Last week on Review Group Drama: There were 402 posts and fifteen reviews. On the plus side, this marks the fourth time in the last five weeks we've had over ten reviews. On the negative side....well if you read the thread, you'd know.   Action Comics #896 selected by a Holiday Poll And in the hit new JIMMY OLSEN co-feature, Jimmy signs up for a "Win a Date" auction, but much to his surprise, so does his ex, Chloe Sullivan! While Jimmy ends up on a date with CrazyPants McGee, Jimmy's archrival snags Chloe! D'oh! And wait, are those wedding bells we hear? Better hope they don't toll for thee, Olsen!  [size=85]john lewis hawk has next week's pick.  If you would like to join the group, it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick. With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. There is no such thing as a "late" review. The only request I make is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadsheet of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.  Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.  If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays. Also you'd better keep in mind the Amber Atoms rule, if your pick isn't reviewed by 2 or more people you will be exiled from the Group for 1 year. Our definition of a single issue comic is limited to comics listed at $3.99 or lower, anything above that is off limits. I'll be contacting members this week about their desire to stay involved with the group. List will be updated with colors and any new members I missed at approximately 10:30 PM EST, Wednesday john lewis hawk Zero Royal Nonesuch Victorian Squid Stephen Day GHERU young neil Jude Terror GLX Eli Katz Punchy BlueStreak guitarsmashley King Impulse starlord David Bird Greg John Snow God-Man Duck Punch Fieldy Snuts chap22 Daringd False Prophet Ameobas SilverPhoenix Dragavon Doombug Jubilee AMS Mammon, Fool Breaker Sgt. Marvel Poster Emeritus: thefourthman BLUE indicates explanation given for not posting a review. RED indicate that no review or explanation has been posted in two weeks. RED and BOLD will be deleted at the end of the week unless a review or explanation is posted.  Each Tuesday I will putting together all of our reviews and we will have our very own article on the front page of The Outhouse! If you would like for your review to be included, please try to have it posted by the end of day on Monday. |

1) Greg, I'm sending out my copy of Suicide Forest to you today. Let me know when you're done, and I'll let you know where to send it. 2) A clarification on the recent spout of polls deciding our picks. I gave indulgences to Zero and Hawk since it was the holiday season and I thought (incorrectly it turns out) that participation would be low over the season. This will not be a habit in the future. If you can't pick and we have to go to a poll, your name will be dropped to the bottom of the list and you'll forfeit your turn in the rotation. 3) As you might have heard, I have some new responsibilities on the website. It should not affect my ability to run the Review Group. I promise to seperate my subjective views on the Review Group from my objective responsibilities if you do the same. 4) Larfleeze Special reviews will be posted by the weekend. I'm giving Suicide Forest an extra week since I know there are reviews in the pipeline. 5) Bitching seems to attract members. We had four or five join up last week. So keep doing what you're doing! |

1) I was planning on doing the front page write-up for Suicide Forest sometime next week. I have all the reviews ready to go, I just need to make pictures. 2) I will go MAWD on you so fast. Keep it up, I swear. 3) I didn't see any. Two of our biggest detractors have joined the ranks. Now if hab joins, all will be perfect. |

You don't like Nick Spencer? After you profited off his book? |

You voted for it, ass!

I was just voting for whatever would beat the books I'm trade waiting on, if Dork Knight would have had one more vote I would have voted for it instead.

That had more to do with the idiocy of others than it did Nick Spencer. |

 Objective my ass. Pull some mod shit... I will use my pee powers! |

Encouraging more hits, duh.  Come on, I have different priorities now. (Obvious sarcasm for those who'd use my posts against me later) |
