Since we can’t possibly anticipate everything right up front, we want to make sure we are listening to your suggestions. From TWCL, we have these thoughts:

“I have some comments, but since I see no obvious place on the Comic Fencing site to contact the people in charge (my comments are not in regards to one particular review, so it doesn’t make sense to me to leave a comment there), I’m going to put my thoughts here.”

Good point! You can always reach us through comicfencing@gmail.com We’ll also start a post entitled General Comments so you can post ideas there as well.

Another commenter noted: “First, I really like the idea. Having a bunch of reviews of the same comic all in one place sounds very helpful, since one person’s opinion isn’t necessarily going to agree with mine. Second (following up on that last remark), I would be even more interested if it were clear that all of you had different tastes in webcomics. If you had one fan of classic gag strips and one fan of long form vampire comics, for example, then I know the different reviews would really be varied and interesting. You could use the bio section to highlight that kind of thing. Third, if you can add a female reviewer to your ranks, that would be awesome.”

Thanks for the kudos! We’ll be adding that bias info to the bio page as each reviewer provides it. And we agree that a female reviewer would be a great addition to the team. If you’d like to be on our review staff, send us an email at comicfencing@gmail.com. We (currently) could use a couple more reviewers as we had a few drop out for various reasons. We had hoped to have at least five starting out but you know how that goes…

And the next thought: “I did get lost a little when I was reading the reviews though. The block of review info text (webcomic name, author, link, and reviewer name) between each of the reviews threw me off for a bit.”

We’ll shorten the posts on the front page to show just the opening blurb, which will remedy that confusion.

“It might be interesting to have a different ‘example’ page from the comic being examined for each review, rather than just showing the same image multiple times”

From here on out, we’ll do that too.

And …“more hyperlinks”

We’ll try but time may not always allow for that. Good idea, though.

Lastly, “Information on how to submit a comic for review, if you accept requests, and any requirements (comic must be x pages long, etc.), would be good.”

There was some info about that on the About page, but it would probably be better as a post. We’ll post that under a post entitled Submit A Comic.

We’ll also be swapping out this theme with something more colorful and adding some other images. Stay tuned.
