OK, so I imagine this is a simple concept. A comic/graphic novel/TPB/whatever is nominated, we all read it, then discuss. I'll probably make up the rules when necessary as I go along, but I'm keeping it simple at the moment. I'll wait for some people to show interest so I can gauge how they might like to approach this or what they'd be into reading. It would make sense to at least start light, since expecting everyone to read all of Will Eisner's A Contract with God might be a tad unrealistic, which is the good thing about comics, since we can always choose to read just one issue of something and see where it goes from there. But other than that, old, new, art, pulp, DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Vertigo, whatevs.

Also, on the one hand it's not so easy to track a comic book down at the library, or find them even at a book/comic store, but there are also... other means to obtain them, so hopefully this shouldn't be too terribly tricky for people to get their hands on stuff. If anyone has a problem then I've amassed a fairly good network of comic collecting resources over the net, so I can probably help anyone out who can't find something.

So yeah, hopefully this works out.
