I got 99 problems, and all of them are review threads. I'm excited to work on all of these in 2022, but I'm really itching to put my full energy into ONE of them for at least the first few months of 2022; I just can't decide which one and would love your input:

Superman in The Post-Crisis Era
The Batman Family and Beyond (1975-1990)
The Complete Batman: 1955-1978
The Complete Batman: 1979-2011
New Teen Titans and Beyond
Writer's Spotlight: Doug Moench
New Mutants from The Beginning
Justice League in The Post-Crisis Era

Or... I can take on a new project I have no business taking on:

I've been seriously considering doing Hal Jordan from The Beginning for years now, beginning with the Silver Age and working up to Rebirth.

I've also long been toying with the idea of doing Valiant in the Jim Shooter Era, reviewing every Valiant book (well, not the Nintendo and Wrestling stuff) up through the original Unity event.

I'd love your thoughts. I plan to churn out at least one review a week, and review threads are more fun when there are interested readers, so let me know what you'd most like to see!

Wuss!

The 1950s Batman thread has four comic book reviews ... and nine pages of comments, some of them quite lengthy. The people who like that thread had a lot to say about it!

Batman 1955-78!

I have no reason to believe that you'd enjoy continuing this thread any more than any other you've started (or have yet to start) and admit that my interest is due almost entirely to how much I love this era and the character as opposed to thinking it's right for you, but...

I say "almost entirely due" because if I recall correctly, Golden and Silver Age DC is a little outside of your comfort zone (at least for long periods) and I'm interested in watching you Marty McFly your way through the era. Having tremendously enjoyed your take and thoughts on Batman in a post-Miller and Moore world I'd love to see you navigate your way through Jack Schiff and Dick Sprang's for a bit.

Course, it would mean juggling two other Batman threads while making this one your primary focus and hey, what better way to say "I hate you Chad - go @#%^ yourself!" than to dangle the possibility of revving up this thread only to decide otherwise, but hey, if you hate me that much, go ahead and pick something else - your call!

I voted for New Mutants and Hal Jordan. I've been thinking of reading New Mutants from the beginning, so this would be some motivation to follow along. Hal Jordan from the beginning through GLC #224 was big project in early 2020, so I anticipate participating a lot in that thread. I do recognize that the Silver Age stuff will be a mixed bag. Some will be fun and some will be eye-rollingly ridiculous. But at the proposed pace, I think you read through a variety of stories.

I voted for the Doug Moench because that's the one that interests me the most. I'm not into most of the DC stuff and know nothing about Valiant. But I'll look at everything: who knows, maybe I'll be inspired to give somemthing a try that I wouldn't have thought of before.

I keep toying with the idea of going back to it, but I just haven't felt the urge in ages. It may still happen this year, but probably not as a big push where I give it a ton of my time.
