Advance Warning: The Twelve Days of Classic Comics Christmas 2012

[dan bailey]

I now feel very, very unclean.

[berk]

Okay...

In re-reading a lot of my "favorites" for final ranking, I've discovered that my tastes have changed dramatically since I last read them fifteen or twenty years ago. Many I thought certain to be in my top 12 are being ditched. This result is completely unexpected.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened to me, but since I haven't done any reading or re-reading I'll have to go with what may well be inaccurate memories.

[Cei-U!]

I start each thread.

Or not. Family plans dictate I be away from my computer on the 24th so dan bailey will be starting that day's thread.

Cei-U!
I summon some honey barbecue sauce for this crow!

[dan bailey]

Which gives me 13 days, as this is typed, to plot ...

... something.

Hmmmm.

[icctrombone]

It starts tomorrow !!! I feel like the kid who has to write the paper the night before it is due...

[Jezebel Bond]

Another failure...Mad About Millie, cuz it clocked 17 issues. I have 8 and was kinda hoping.....

[Rob Allen]

It starts tomorrow !!! I feel like the kid who has to write the paper the night before it is due...

You and me both.

I'm going to write my synopsis for each day on the fly; just seems more natural that way. The real expression and love for each of runs comes out a little more than standard drivel of explanation of facts. And yes... I have some interesting ones. I hope someone will express interest one or some of my choices to pick up.

I've always done it that way, personally.

[Cei-U!]

I've always done it that way, personally.

Me too, believe it or not.

Cei-U!
I summon the candor!

[berk]

Me too, believe it or not.

Cei-U!
I summon the candor!

Me too. I wouldn't have the patience to prepare anything in advance. Though I might have to this year, since I'll be away from internet access from the 20th to the 29th.

When you add it all up, it's hundreds of stories we're reading. My memory isn't that good to post about each series on the fly. And I don't have enough time to read a whole series on the day of and then post what I thought about it. Doing a lot of this in advance is the only way I'll be able to keep up.

Mine isn't either, but I'm not letting that stop me!

If I ever do get around to re-reading all my old favourites I'll probably end up repudiating everything I continually rant about here.

[Reptisaurus!]

Okay, but he damn well better summon something!

It is dangerous to start re-reading old favourites, because you can find yourself thinking "huh, I guess it wasn't really as great as I thought"--but then other times, you pick something up and you go, "oh my god, this really was one of the best things I ever read and it still holds up after all these years!"
