I nominate the Classic Archie Discussion for best classic (non-review) thread. Archie is a true cornerstone of American comics... and a significant part of American culture, period. It's a lot of fun to see how the several Archie series evolved over time, including the forays into mystery stories. I was surprised to learn that Gray Morrow and Alex Toth had contributed to some Red Circle comics... Always trust the members of this community to teach me something!!!*edit * Well, next year perhaps. |

*edit * Well, next year perhaps. First I don't get the Advance Warning for The Jamies up in time. Then I start a cool discussion AFTER the deadline. It's like I did this to you on purpose |

I nominate Reptisaurus! 's Why Did We Need 17,000 Richie Rich Titles?. It was a subject I'd never really considered previously, and the conversation that ensued taught me quite a bit about a publisher and genre to which I'd never previously given much consideration. I love that this community is still teaching me about new areas of comicdom after all these years. |

And I nominate profh0011 for his classiccomics.org/thread/6028/edgar-allan-poe. I have always been intrigued with Poe and this really digs deep and scratches my itch in all the best ways. |

I nearly chose this myself, but ultimately felt it qualifies as a review thread. So...can you convince me it isn't? |

Most reviews threads review a specific title or character or even publisher (as codystarbuck has done). This follows a historical event across many titles and several publishers. If it is a review thread it is very very different from any other review thread here on this forum. It is a thread unlike any other thread here ... review thread or general discussion about Vietnam.
Fair enough. I personally disagree, but your nomination stands. Well argued. |

Let me know. Up to you. I was going to nominate it for favorite review thread. Probably better not to split the vote, but you have earned the right to nominate it here if you prefer. |

I nominate Comic Tidbits. It's fun to read about facts from the past and the thread sparked a few discussions that were interesting. I second the Edgar Allan Poe thread.

Probably better not to split the vote, but you have earned the right to nominate it here if you prefer. You can let the members of CCf decide but it reads like a review thread more than a thread analyzing the genre. That thread is very good, though. |

I withdrew the Vietnam thread by crimebuster. Will definitely use it for the Review nomination unless shaxper beats me to it! Instead I nominate Bad Idea Corrected by Icctrombone. There were so many bad ideas over the decades. It was neat to discuss them in one place. It made me feel like I was in a LCS discussing stories. |
