Hey, I would love to get more people in here talking and what not. I more meant that is something I would like to include into the site itself at some point, but it would be something worth having. I think you guys should go for it.

I would really love to see this site take off as a gathering point for comic readers, and I know some sites have tried the same thing, but they get bogged down in minutiae of details and reviews and what not and just don't seem to get where they want to go. Their site designs often aren't the best either. You are succeeding at a much greater level than any I've seen before, and interact with your users too.

I'll probably just work at the newer events since you're not near them, and I can skim them pretty easily (at least I could WWH). Once I start the Order (who knows when) we'll see what happens :D

Seriously, great respect for the work you do Travis. It might not be important to a lot of people, but it's insane and recognized by those who do benefit from it.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Yea, I would love to see the site as a gathering point for comic readers. I am sad to see the dropoff in the forums recently, Reed, Doom, Pyro, Bob all have disappeared; and they were pretty frequent posters.

I want to avoid the "no point" or bad design traps that some fall into. You guys have been a great help requesting features or offering suggestions to make things better and more comprehensive.

I like this idea as something appended to the Order, which could be collaboratively created either here in the forums or through some wiki style interface on the arc page or the order page. I definitely wouldn't want to change the format of the main order; what makes this the best site of its kind in my opinion is the emphasis on publication date over strict chronological order.
For me, I want to read comics as the authors wanted me to, and flashbacks or simultaneous tellings of the same events are part of that.

There is also the More Reading on each issue page. If you think something should be listed there, recommend it through the suggestion submit box on that article (I have changed the name of that box cause really it should be used for more).

Now that I am thinking of it....I could add a "alternate Reading order" to the arc page, so you can see a listing of the issues in different ways that people may suggest them.

So, I worked out the bugs with my WWH reading order, and have included overall reasons for why I place things where I do.

Where would you like it posted?
