Comic Book Forums?

Are there any decent comic book forums out there? Something along the lines of DVDTalk, but for comic books?

Just wondering...

The only comics forum not dominated by adolescent nitwits is The Comics Journal Message Board.

Two not yet mentioned,

There's the comicon board at the http://www.comicon.com

A very good place for the general discussion of comics and industry issues.

The Warren Ellis forum at http://www.delphi.com/ellis

Beware, though, Ellis runs a pretty strict board. It's heavily moderated -- by Ellis' own admission, it's a Stalinist dictatorship -- with a zero tolerance policy toward personal attacks and fanboy blather. He actually has the filter set to remove words like "micronauts" and "transformers." But you can swear all you want to...

Re: Comic Book Forums?

So I know talking about other forums is becoming more and more forbidden in these parts, but hopefully IB knows that DVDTalk can't cover every subject as fully as it does film media.

And while I wish this sub-forum was a little busier and somehow could cover all of my comic talk needs, I thought I'd bump this thread to see if I'm missing any great comic boards. Is comicbookresources still the largest/best site going?

Re: Comic Book Forums?

I've lurked the marvelmasterworks one now and then. They get more involved in some of the topics than we do here, and I've made some discoveries, but I still haven't posted.

Re: Comic Book Forums?

I still find the boards at Comic Book Resources the most active and healthy.

http://forums.comicbookresources.com/forum.php

There are a lot of good character-specific sites in other places.

Marvel Masterworks Messageboard

It skews a little older because most of the enthusiasm there is for collected reprints of older material.

I really wish that board would upgrade their forum software. It looks like something left over from the 1990s.

It's built around the Eleven O'Clock Comics podcast, and there's discussion there on everything from the latest Marvel and DC books to Jacques Tardi to Gundam to Top Shelf.

I like hanging out at the Bendis Board, but comics are not always the central focus.

Re: Comic Book Forums?

Wow, seems like yesterday when I bumped this thread, but I guess it's been over 8 months. Any new input? I've checked out all the suggestions, and while some are decent, it seems like there should be some better ones.

Collectors Society is a great board. Started lurking there recently. Go in the Golden Age section and see how hardcore they are. Like guys who only collect Pre-Robin Detective issues.

Re: Comic Book Forums?

Wow, scorched earth at the CBR forums! He basically erased everything and is requiring everyone to re-register because of a few jerks being 4chan-ish. Crazy overkill.

Ridiculous. I read the article and for the most part agreed. People are unbelievable.

There has been a negativity and nastiness that has existed on the CBR forums for too long. Two weeks ago, that long-growing ugliness became more pronounced than ever. CBR published an article by guest contributor Janelle Asselin, critiquing the cover to DC Comics' upcoming "Teen Titans" #1. Some of you liked the article, some of you didn't. We encouraged readers to share their feedback in the CBR Forums.

Unfortunately, what happened next was unacceptable -- so-called "fans" around the Internet, on various message boards and social media, including the CBR Forums, attacked Janelle personally, threatening her with rape and assault. These same "fans" found her e-mail, home address and other personal information, and used it to harass and terrorize her, including an attempted hacking of her bank account.

Re: Comic Book Forums?

The scorched earth thing was ridiculous. Just get moderators and admins who give a damn and do their jobs. No reason to reboot everything. People should be respectful to each other online but that's a two way street. There are industry people who are less than respectful on message boards like CBR. In general CBR's forum management has always been subpar, and I don't see that changing in the future.

Agreed that it sucks that they're burning down the house to get rid of a few rats.

Not sure why they don't just ban the troublemakers and delete troll posts. I wasn't a poster at the CBR forums, but I was occasionally able to find some good information there. (Like binding problems on Absolute and Omnibus hardcovers.)

Re: Comic Book Forums?

I rarely posted at CBR anymore. Some mods were just trolls with banning abilities. Also tired of industry "professionals" like Dan Slott acting exactly like the people he's mocking.
