GI Joe, Pass in Review by codystarbuck. Not only is it a fascinating examination of the GI Joe comic, but the thread often branches off into compelling discussions about real-world military conflicts and equipment, which enhances the reviews considerably. |

I'd like to nominate The Hoosier X / Icctrombone SA Thor Review thread battle. Those two know how to make silly Silver Age shenanigans a whole lot of fun. I also respect their dedication, updating it regularly over the course of five months thus far. |

I'm nominating "You Got Some Batsplainin' to Do!': A Thread for Batman Fans" started by Hoosier X way back in 2014 and is not just a humorous journal of Hoosier's trek through both Batman and Detective, but also an insightful, critical take on various ages of the character from the 50s through (so far) the early 70s.
I always have enjoyed Hoosier's acceptance of some of the silliness baked into the Schiff era, but I also love that he has never simply accepted the notion that everything about pre-New Look Batman was by definition dreck and that the New Look was the Late Renaissance by contrast. He combines his knowledge of context and an appreciation of nuance with an idiosyncratic, breezy style that makes for enjoyable reading.

It’s one of those 48-page 25-cent issues from the early 1970s. I love the Don Heck art on the Batgirl stories. And the crazy 1950s reprints! |
