It all goes back to the thread proliferation wars of ought-whatever. We weren't going to have a comic book thread. We were going to keep a tight focus on the Jossverse and that thread was originally a catch all bucket for games and novelizations and the occasional comic. But now it really is the de facto comic thread and has been for some time. We should just say so.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Agreed - and all the more so since in addition to non-Jossy comics love, we really don't talk at all about games, novels, action figures, or other such there, whether it's Jossverse or otherwise.
Okay, how about: Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer 2: Joss likes these things, right?

Our wings are not tired
What? Have a thread name and slug that actually matches the content of the thread? That flys in the face of everything Buffista!

Our method seems to be somewhere between Jefferson laying out the paths at UVA by letting the students determine the best paths first, and a process of: Denial! Deniability. Shrug...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We have on occasion talked about games. IJS.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I don't know, I think calling it the comic book thread wouldn't be out of line. Like: Comics 2: I want a cape. Capes are so in right now. Which is an Overheard in New York line that still makes me giggle.

Just because they get caught in things doesn't make them not an awesome fashion statement!
