CBR Relaunch: Too Early To Call

Taking a look at it, the increase in staffing is ambitious, the design change is counter-intuitive, and the difference in template between the forums and the front page lead the carpet to not match the drapes.


One of the interesting bumps in the adjustment period? Hannibal Tabu:


JUST ONE MORE THING ...
Apparently, my co-worker Augie is now riding herd on four new writers in CBR's new
reviews section (which this writer learned about in the new site's launch manifesto).

Welcome to Fight Club. Since this is your first night, you're gonna have to fight .


Just in case that gets edited out:

So...add a bunch of reviewers, but don't tell your dedicated one-man-review-team (scorned, though he may be) that you're diluting his unique place in your business? Would seem a touch douchey, would it not? I'm not a fan of his work, but I'd think the man who many comic readers apparently love to hate would deserve being made aware that his role was about to become a bit less special on the site beforehand.

  1. Check out some of the reviews of Secret Invasion #1; they almost make Tabu look insightful and balanced. Tim Callahan's put up some really good stuff already, though.

It is preferred that you sign some sort of name to your posts, rather than remain completely anonymous. Even if it is just an internet nickname/alias, it makes it easier to get to know the people that post here. I hope you all will give it some consideration. Thank you.
