Comic Book BBS?

[Mr Light]

Does anyone know of a comic book specific BBS? Preferably one with a friendly environment like here? No I'm not being sarcastic I know how it can be other places

Comicbookresources.com is probably the best you can get for now. I post on there as Brother Justin Crowe.

A lot of the posters have turned into giant jerks lately (a recent thread debating the ethics of Orson Scott Card's worldview comes to mind), but they're harmless if you learn to avoid them.

I think DC and Marvel have their message boards on their respective sites. As a lurker, I've noticed several fanboys who absolutely refuse to see others' points of view on things, though.

Yeah that's the thing, wouldn't want to get into a nasty place of flamers and trolls. Just lookin' for some nice even-minded comic discussion. A pipe dream, I know!

SuperHeroHype is good.

I usually go to http://www.comixfan.com/xfan/forums/. They're pretty nice over there.

Uh-oh. My FireFox reported this as an "attack site". Be careful.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't have Firefox. I think I might start going to one of the other sites mentioned here.

I used to post at Comicbookresources with a transformer name and avatar but whatever cool thing the forum part of the site had went to sh*t a long time ago. There was some kind of inner war going on between moderators and fans about how the site would be run. It's not like here where I found the moderators to be very reasonable, even when I crossed the line on trekbbs I've been given warnings and found the moderation here to be very fair. Over there was some war between fanboys and you could see the mods butting head > with each other Mod vs Mod, plus there is something just a little too goofy about some of these comic communities where fans are just dying to rub elbows with artists and critical response is frowned on. Comixtreme was good but its not that active anymore, Comicvine has good interviews and vids but their forum layout sucks. The site ign.com has a good news section, SuperHeroHype I only heard of today but I think it looks great. The only comic sites I read now are the official Marvel forum and the official WB-DC forum. They are actually very open and allow criticism of writers and their tv shows and the moderation is top notch at the official sites so you won't see any spamers.
