Hope all is well Fanfie. Sending some good vibes your way.

Like HWW says, hope to see you come back when able. And as always, you can backfill on the issues you'd like! The Reread project really will miss you until then.

Like a Super Echo ...of Space, I can only reiterate what the others have already said. Look forward to your re-read return.

Just checking in to see if people still want to push on with Archive twelve next week, or wait until after the holidays before beginning.

Let me know, or I'll have to use the planetary chance machine and you know how I hate picking up all the little globes when they go flying. Grrrrr...

Righty right. I'll put it up on Tuesday then. I'm sure there's a reason it's Tuesday smile

12 also has the first Karate Kid issue.

Karate Kid #1 has the same cover date as #216. Does this get reviewed before 216? after 216 or left to the end of the archive?
Or there's the option to not reread it at all. (I read it recently anyway as I was moving some boxes around)

I'd prefer to do it after #216, just to keep it in order, but does anyone else have a preference?

I saw a table of contents for Archives 12 recently which showed it coming after 215.

I'm fine, either way. I'll have to find my KK's in my collection.

I'm good with it before or after 216, but i definitely want it as part of the thread. I'd also prefer it not be after all the other stories in the Archive.

Same here. I've never read it before! After 215 or 216 works for me!

Well, if that's the way the archive has it, then that's the way it shall be. Which means it's next up!

I've seen the cover of #216 in my binder, so all the more build up time for that smile

Just a heads-up:

I don't think I'm going to be re-joining the re-read until we reach the Postboot era.

In the last few months, I've grown increasingly frustrated with the overall Preboot canon. So much wasted potential, so many missed opportunities. I still hold some it in high esteem: the majority of the Adventure era, a handful of Cockrum/Grell stories, bits and pieces of Levitz's 1970s run, and, above all, the first three years of the Baxter era. But no matter what I try to re-read of the Preboot era, I almost always find myself focusing on what's wrong with it rather than what's right with it.

The Postboot era is far from perfect, but lately I find myself turning to it for pleasure far more often than I do with the Preboot era.

So, until we reach the Postboot era, it's goodbye for now.

Sad but true.

I felt bad about making that post, but I still feel I needed to say it.

On a positive note, as readers could look at the Legion and find comfort that humanity survived until the 30th century, we can look to your optimism that there will be a rereads thread going on long enough to get to the Postoot. smile


And Lo... the Survivors looked past the blinding light of Zero Hour. Lost and on the Run they had become. From those vanished in space to Marzal teleports, to those lost to themselves through Mayavale and Relfecto identity crises. The LW Reread Survivors had wearily pushed on.

Through the endless wastes of the Terra Mosaic, they had come. Come to the message of she who writeth Fanfic. Through time and dust encrusted eyes their leader, Starts On A Tuesday!, peered at the stone etchings...

"Actually, I've always been more fond of the Threeboot really."

And there was much screaming...

"Starts On A Tuesday!" sounds like a relative of Solomon Gundy. One shudders to think of what dark powers reside within....

Sorry you'll be absent from this thread, Raquel, although there are plenty of other topics in which you'll be participating. You're going to be missing some excruciatingly dreadful stories (Space Circus! I can't wait!) as well as many more (IMO) gems.

I was just wondering where we could find a cheerleader to see us through! And, as if by magic... smile

With the re-reads for Archive 12 drawing to a close, I'll be taking a leave of absence for a couple of weeks.

I'll pop in for Emily's Flash idol, but otherwise I'll be on hols. I hear Ventura is lovely at this time of year.

Hope it's a relaxing rest and recharge, Thoth! Upon your return, hope you can delve right back in as a reviewer, even if just one of the rabble!

HWW or FC, up for taking the lead on the next one?

I will be taking a class as well as teaching full-time, so I can't commit to starting the thread or doing timely reviews. I'll be happy to continue chiming in, though.

Vacation, Thoth? I suppose you're going to some 21st century ho-hum Terran locale, when you could be time traveling with us. Enjoy and recharge!

How long is a semester, HWW? Hope to hear you chiming often, nevertheless.

I can be the substitute opening reviewer (or commentator) then until the big guns return and will follow the Tuesday schedule.

Thanks, FC, for stepping up the plate!

My university doesn't have semesters. We're an online institution with classes starting every week. The downside is that I get time off only when I take vacations or some other kind of leave. The upside is, well, just about everything else.
