April 9, 2019 11:08 pm Re: Graphic novel vs. collected editions How I explain it when asked is by comparing it to DVD releases: a graphic novel would be equivalent to a movie, whereas a collected edition would be equivalent to a season of a television series or a mini-series.

September 2, 2013 11:29 pm I think everyone's start date is in 2008 when the site went to iFanboy 3.0.

September 2, 2013 11:12 pm I haven't a damn clue as to what originally drew my attention to the iFanboy video show, be it a recommendation from someone or a link I found somewhere, but the site instantly became a great part of my life, both in size and entertainment value. Between each new show (video and audio), I'd go back and watch and listen to earlier shows that I'd miss. Hell, I still go back and revisit some of the video shows every now and then. Then it [the site] blew. up. New articles, new features, new podcasts (Booksplode, Don't Miss, etc.), and a bevy of new contributors. And it all felt seamless. It was like the new staff had been here all along, which, as it turned out, was the case for a bunch of them. Home was expanding, but it still totally felt like home. Admittedly, I stopped reading singles towards the end of 2011, switching to just trades, so now I don't listen to the PotW until 6 or 7 months after it's published, but I still love every bit of it. But I still check in regularly for most all of the features (just not Best of the Week in Panels). But now we're going back to basics. And I totally get it. When the site blew up, it blew up pretty damn quickly. More content means more work, more upkeep, more responsibility. And all while life outside the site is still going on, too. Life that needs priority attention, especially if the site isn't the primary source of income. I get it, and, you know what? I think it might be a welcome change of pace. Now that it's just the podcasts, I've got to imagine that it'll feel a lot less like work to sit down and record them. They're focusing on the shows now., which were what brought me here to the site to begin with. All the other features? I can consider them bonus content that we were all fortunate enough to enjoy for a good while. On to the folks that run this joint. I can't think of a better bunch of people in this business. Really. I met Ron, Conor, and Tom Katers at Boston Comic-Con in 2011, and they just immediately treated me as one of their own. We're all just comic fans, so we got along great. (At New York Comic-Cons 2011 and 2012, I saw Ron and Conor working, but still no sign of the ever-elusive Josh.) But I can't not mention my MVP of the new batch of contributors, one Paul Montgomery. His jolly wit knows no limit. So, I'll gladly keep shelling out dough every December to do my part in keeping the place running. And I'll always proudly where my iFanboy Member shirt at any Con I attend because I always feel good about having the creators associate a pleasant fan interaction experience (which I try to make every time) with the site. Sometimes just the sight of the shirt will put a smile on their face. Okay, enough rambling. iFanboy, you have my complete support in this transition. Hell, we're all here with you every step of the way.
