Introducing, the iFanboy Community: Comic Book Reviews by you!
22 Posted on Jul 21, 2008 in articles by Ron Richards |You've heard us talk about, and even highlight the amazingly well written and entertaining user reviews, written by YOU the iFanboy community. But you may have not been able to find all the reviews of a comic you wanted to hear about, or maybe you just don't have time to browse through all the comics and their reviews. Well, we've tried to make things easier for you.
We're proud to announce that now all the comic book reviews written by the iFanboy community are located in one easy spot for you to browse, sort, search and read. Now you can sort by comic and find out who hates The Flash, or you can sort by comments to see where the hottest comic book discussion is happenning.
Go check it out and start reading some user reviews!
Comments
Oh, silly me, forgot to mention that - there is a link at the bottom of the home page under the latest user reivews and we'll be adding it to the main navigation soon (we've got ALOT of work going on behnd the scenes...)

Any chance we will be able to have a search for it? So I can type in Amazing Spider-Man and it pops right up?

We're working on that as well - making the user reviews searchable - although - if you use the search box in the upper right corner and search Amazing Spider-Man, you'll find alot of the issues and if you click on one, you can see the user's that have reviewed that issue...

This is a great feature! Thanks!

I feel bad for not being able to figure this out on my own, but I can't figure out how to write a review. I've found the star ratings and the pull list, but not how to write a review. Can anyone help me?

@Anson17 - no worries - If you click on "Your Comics" in the upper left corner (under the iFanboy logo), you'll be able to see your pull list for this week (or link to previous weeks) and that's where there is a link to "Write Review" where you can write a review for the comics you pulled

Nice feature, guys. The best thing about this site (IMO) is that it's a more democratic way to get opinions on comics. Instead of getting 2 or 3 professional (& usually jaded) reviewers opinions, like most sites, we get the 5 star ratings and reviews from the average fans around the world. And this looks like one more step in the right direction -- the direction of total and utter domination of the interwebs.
Keep up the awesome work, fellas.

@Wade: Agreed. Where other sites "allow" user reviews, this one touts them. Thus living up to the promise of it's name. That's good branding. I enjoy pro and amateur reviews both, making this site my comics related website of choice!

Rest assured that I have been fighting this one at every step. The people have too much power! There's going to be a riot!
Liberally distributed power corrupts distributionally!
In all seriousness, this is a great feature and will make the user reviews a lot easier to navigate and explore. Great work, people behind the curtain!

This will be the headline after iFanboy takes over the world.
Thanks, Paul. That is brilliant.

Ron -the site just keeps getting better and better - you guys are doing a great job!
Now give my wallet a rest and stop recommending so many books that turn out to be great!

this site is amazing and what a great new feature. The reviews really make this a community and like everyone's already said, I love seeing the difference in opinions on all the titles. Thanks for all your hard work Ron, Josh, and Coner. Just beware, the tyranny of the majority is right around the corner!

@s1lentslayer NO SPOILERS - hehe - stay tuned it's coming
and many many thanks needs to go to Dave, our kickass developer, who is working just as hard as Conor, Josh and I on the site...

Great work folks.

Ah awesome - thanks guys. The site just keeps getting better and better.
Posted by OttoBott on 07/22/08 at 10:32 PM
Think this'll be a handy addition. Everybody reviews the BIG titles, but I want a review of the OZ Wonderland stuff or a Transformer book. Books I would never really give a second look at unless it had a really, really pretty cover. Great addition to the site.

THat's really cool guys, the ability to see the number of reads, and comments? Sweet.

I can't believe I missed this thread until now! Wowsers, this is just a freakin' cool new feature. I love reading the user reviews, and now I have a wealth at my fingertips!
It's hard to believe this site could get any better, but every time I think that you guys up the ante. Best site ever!

I'm number one at most commented review at the current moment! Yipee!
Posted by Tork on 07/28/08 at 06:23 PM
This is very cool. Is there going to be a permanent link somewhere on the site?
