There&#8217;s a store with 134 comics for sale (right now, that should grow once things get rolling), there are forums where people can gab about whatever they want, there&#8217;s a search option so you can find whatever you need, a comment option so you can comment on my ramblings, and you can even submit your own reviews for books! Not that I&#8217;m going to publish all of them (not entirely sure how that part is going to work yet, I&#8217;m mostly playing it by ear), but if anybody is interested in doing this on a regular basis and doesn&#8217;t want the bother of creating their own website, come on over! There will probably be a few problems in the first few days, just because that&#8217;s the way these things generally work in my experience, so bear with us, but I think this will end up being a MUCH better site than the original one and I&#8217;m hoping everybody who reads it will feel the same way. Hey, if you don&#8217;t, you can talk about it in the forums all you want! Any suggestions for improvements will be taken into consideration, as I don&#8217;t profess to be an expert at this (although Jon Stahler, the man responsible for creating this site, certainly is). I want this site to be as inclusive of small press comics as humanly possible and something that&#8217;s easy for everyone to use. I&#8217;ll be around a lot more to deal with your questions and concerns, as I&#8217;m recently unemployed for a little while, so look around, see what you think, and enjoy! One more thing: if you have any questions, post them in the FAQ and I&#8217;ll answer them.
