Should we request that the slug on the main page change from:
Discussion of Heroes can be found here.
to
Discussion of
Heroes,
and the associated online comic can be found here.
That way people aren't walking in, without any warning.
The thread header already looks good:
This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I think, if we are all in agreement (and we seem to be), we should make the policy explicit in the slug. Cindy's version looks good to me.
I think, if we put it in the slug, it should just be "online materials." Because the online game thing with Hana's blog and MySpace and the Primatech site has included stuff not in the comics, I think.
"official online material" to distinguish from actual spoilers that might be posted somewhere?
How about, "Discussion of Heroes (the TV show and official online materials) can be found here"?
There's no rush, right? How about we wait a couple of days to make sure everyone has had a chance to chime in?
Sounds good, Jon. Both the slug and the no rush.
Chiming in that I'd like the comics talk to be in blackfont, too. And all the the other official online stuff. I think I've only read one so far because they're kind of a pain, so I like reading details here.
Also, shiny thread!
comic blackfont is good for me, most definitely, since I tried reading the comics, was a total luddite about it, and am rather burnt out from Lost on trolling the internetz for more story.
My issues weren't so much computer difficulties as loathing the artwork. Since we know what these characters are supposed to look like—what with there being actual real-life actors and all—I think they would have been better served to get an artist like Bryan Hitch or Gene Ha who can portray realistic likenesses. Hell, even Greg Land and his opaque projector would be preferable.
