Hey hey, I hope by now you have all seen (and maybe used) the new #comic-review-corner channel we made for reviewing comics! It's been up for a while now, but since I was the one who made it, it was also made with only my views in mind. As #comics regulars, I would love you guys' opinions and feedback on the channel.

Is there anything you'd want changed? Is there anything you think is missing? What do you like/not like? Would be a massive help if you can let me know what you think!

I think the biggest thing right now for Spyware and I is just the ability to review single issues

Could do a thread system, but my only concern is the discussion would get buried under new reviews. Another idea is it could be 2 separate channels.

I think it might be cool and better for engagement if perhaps the Comics channel, Comics Spoiler Channel, and Review Channel were all in 1 category and closer to the top.

I fully agree with that I want this channel higher for better engagement. A comics category itself doesn't sound too bad to me either. Unfortunately that decision isn't entirely up to me :(

#

As for the singles, sounds like there are 3 ideas here:

  1. Simply allow singles reviews (easiest to use, but as a downside it might reduce willingness to also do a review on a series or story in its entirety)
  2. Thread system, 1 global review for the run (which can be updated along the way), and single issue reviews in the thread (downside being engagement in the thread might not be as nice due to less visibility)
  3. 2 separate review channels, one for singles and one for full stories

Any other ideas? What do you guys think would work best?

I think one channel for singles and one channel for full runs is optimal

#

navigation in the other 2 systems would feel clunky and confusing, better to keep them separate

the real endgame would be having Jocasta auto link our LoCG reviews to but that sounds like programming work and i dont want to suggest any extra work than necessary for Bowgaming

I mean suggest all you want but I have no clue how to do that ohgod

# sleek magnet just a question, are the graphic novels marvel did in 80s counted as one shots?

Don’t know what graphic novels you’re talking about, but the current guideline is that you should only post reviews about completed collections/stories. In other words, single issues are already allowed as long as that single issue is the full story (for example, I already made a review for the Foundation one-shot, and stuff like the Deadpool/Batman one-shots is also fine)

Ah I see, yeah you’re absolutely fine just reviewing stuff like that even though it’s “a single issue”

doing threat for the run where you could put single issues sounds best, i think

#

out of those options id just take option A, as Jocasta will make a thread for it anyways right? like if we just put single issue reviews in the review channel

#

either way is fine for me really, whatever is easiest for yall!

dim current
#

Yeah either way it doesn’t really make that many changes to Jocasta (but even if it did, that would be fine). Both require the same amount of work, but even so I’d rather put in more work for a system that works better ;)

Hey hey, just wanted to let you all know that we've implemented the changes you guys requested. @fair reef @azure compass feel free to go nuts on single issue reviews ;)

Thanks for your recommendations! If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them here, send a dm, or share them in #comics with a ping mattsip

It’s exactly the same as before, as for updating Jocasta the only thing changed is the text message she sends at the bottom of the channel. It explains that single issue reviews are allowed and how to post them
