Spoilers. In the age of digital comics, they are increasingly becoming an issue in these threads, as the drive to be first to discuss the week's releases overrides common sense and good posting etiquette. So over the coming weeks and months, the members of Comic GAF will be collaborating on and will eventually be implementing a system of general rules for avoiding spoilers on new comics in the Comics OT thread. But for now, please abide by the temporary guidelines outlined below. And remember, you are being watched and judged by your peers.

1. Discussion of newly released comics that involves specific plot details shall be accompanied at all times by the appropriate use of the
tag function.
2. Direct posting of full-page images from newly released comics using the tags is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
3. Direct posting of images or spoilers from comics that have yet to be released is strictly prohibited, and outgoing links to such should be accompanied by the appropriate spoiler warnings.
4. Covers, solicitation copy, and/or promotional materials shall not be considered spoilers and are allowed, unless their content involves specific plot details; in those cases, outgoing links with spoiler warnings should be used.
5. The unmarked posting of spoilers related to comics will be allowed after a period of one week (Wednesday to Wednesday) from that comic's release.[/b] ([u]NOTE:[/u] Longer? -Spike)
[b]6. Members of Comic GAF are expected at all times to exercise common sense and polite discretion as a matter of courtesy to fellow posters. I know, tough one.
7. If you are unsure of whether or not posting something would constitute a spoiler, err on the side of caution and use the [SPOILER] tags.[/b]

In short, don't be Stephanie Brown. Don't be... The Spoiler. For one thing, [b]you're[/b] not that loveable. >:|

Happy reading!

Obviously, it's just that I never pictured the need for a sequel. For it to be in comic form on top of that makes it surreal.

Yeah, I was just being a dick. Palahniuk is writing it and Cameron Stewart is doing the art, not quite sure what the plot is or anything though.

I asked this in the previous thread, but didn't get many responses. Trying one more time.

Can fans of Pax Americana explain why they like it?

I'm not saying it isn't good, but I want to hear it from fans in their own words. It doesn't have to be a thesis, but being as elaborate as possible would be appreciated.

No top posters list for last month? Was that feature cut also? :(

Our OT is catching up with the times. The books of the month and list of top posters' list is now paid DLC. Would you be interested in a season pass instead?

How much exclusive Messi content does it include?

Like the rest of Multiversity, it was totally inscrutable. I'm willing to sit and try to decipher a comic if it will ultimately pay off in some fashion, but I think I tried to read Pax Americana 3-4 times and never even finished it.
 
So we close on our house in 13 days and get the keys. We will be all moved in on the 17th. A few days later we will be adopting 2 kitty's and we have already named them.

Robin and Babs.

I know what you mean, it took me a 2 times before I sat down and got to the end. I think I got it mostly, but I think I'll have to read it again to get a better understanding of it. Maybe once backwards, since the story is being told in reverse chronological order. I'm determined to get atleast a basic understanding of the characters here.
