Thanks for stepping up to the plate, Lardy. I've already read 329 and will be ready to post my thoughts by tomorrow.

So...we seem to be losing some participants the last couple of weeks. I know Huey is sporadic now because of his work schedule, but others seemed to have dropped off inexplicably. Does it have something to do with summer ending, maybe?

I've dropped off for work-related reasons as well. Between the Legion re-read, the Dr. Gymll's re-read, the Bits Supergirl's Legion fanfic, and my other pursuits, something had to give, and unfortunately, it was the Legion re-read. Sorry, Lardy. But I'm not discounting the possibility of re-joining at some point ahead, or the possibility of chiming in on occassion, like the 2nd Fatal Five/1st Shadow Lass story.

For me it's not really work, I just don't feel I have much to contribute to the Archives rereads. Your reviews already cover all the bases smile

Here's a thought.....with the Archives re-read threads obviously losing some steam--fewer posts, fewer views, etc.--should we consider suspending the project shortly? Some possibilities include stopping after the current volume/#7 or with the conclusion of the Adventure Comics era/#9.

I feel, no matter what, that some kind of break will need to occur as the holidays draw nearer. it's just a question of when and for how long. I want as much participation as possible, and it seems like we're hemorrhaging re-readers every Archive, especially with summer's end. It's frustrating because we're in, arguably, the most exciting era yet with Shooter at the peak of his world-building.

But this is a democracy, so I'm soliciting opinions. Should we suspend the re-read project at all? If so, for how long and at what point?

I say we keep it going til the end of the Adventure Comics run. I especially wanna get my 2 cents in about the 2nd Fatal Five/1st Shadow Lass story (which I love) and the 1st Mordru story (which I've got extremely mixed feelings about.)

Any other opinions about if/when suspending the Archives discussion for a while? Cobie, you're pretty much the Archives torch-bearer, right now, having been the most consistently posting from the beginning. I kinda feared you'd chime in with an angry "HELL NO!!!", but so far--silence.

Speak! scream

To be honest, I'm kind of wary of continuing with 2-3 or less reviews per issue. Lately it feels there's been a definite loss of steam.

I desperately want to continue. In fact, I won't be rereading anything else--Legion or otherwise--anytime soon unless its the continuation of the Legion. But I wonder what we could do to get back on track...including waiting.

I didn't review the latest on Friday and haven't even read it yet. I'm traveling for work tomorrow and Tuesday (of the driving far variety) so I won't be reviewing one tomorrow.

Eryk being able to pick things up again soon is positive. You're (Lardy) best point was we're in the midst of one of the high points of all time in Legion history. I'd hate for the reviews to be half of what they were in the early volumes as we experience it.

So I'm really torn. I still demand we get all the way to end of the reboot at least. But seeing that as a long term experiment, I'm wondering if a little patience now will allow for a resumption of momentum at the right time?

It's too bad. I've been having such a blast.

It seems kind of ironic that this re-read thread is running out of steam just as we're getting to the best of the Adventure Comics era.

Yes, and disappointing! I half expect Alanis Morisette to add another verse to "Ironic" about this. frown

And with no posts about the two latest stories this week, it looks like the Archives project has suspended itself? shrug If so, we'll have to pick up where we left off if/when the project resumes.....

Is it weird that I'm planning a "100 Toothpicks meets Michael Myers" to show up at your houses, make you read the archives, and post reviews? You know, in the spirit of Halloween. Without all that killing stuff.

But def with the mask.

Only when it gets really weird.

(Like the Wanderers story--jeez! What did you think, it's always sexual?)

Sorry from one of those who dropped out.

Blame work, sickness, family issues, and then finally embarrassment at falling so far behind that it seemed too hard to catch up.

Finally sorted things enough to just have a look and ... too late.

Oh well, I will still be looking forward to when it starts up again and in the meantime I have plenty of reading to catch up on.
