Don't you guys think you are getting ahead of yourselves, picking future books and who will choose them before even starting the first book?

We need to remove Bruce.dave123321
I should have made this thread when kk told me to.dave123321
Bruce, this is what I warned you about. Dave is trying to usurp us. I advise you to give me a position on your council and putting The Electric Tale of Pikachu up for vote for our next book.

This council is not what you think it is Lai. You would be fifth in line. Fifth from the top. And there is no private discussion between the council members, we're just some people who are extra involved in the club. That is all it is.

Nothing else has really been mentioned. Thief of thieves has single support like the other options such as v or we3 or a bunch of batman stuff that was mentioned. I selected thief of thieves. I am interested in that. Volumes 1&2 would be together

I am disappointed that you did not put The Electric Tale of Pikachu up for vote. I voted for Batman, and I strongly urge others to do the same. Superman is a lame superhero from a storytelling perspective. Any rational person will recognize that a good detective story is more interesting than something about an invincible guy.

Batman appears to be dominating. Superman supporters should give up and support Batman.

All Star Superman and Batman Year One are the absolute best stories for their respective characters.  I personally prefer All Star, mainly for the art and fantastic story.  It feels a bit more real.  Year One, that being said, is a masterpiece as well.

I'm not interested in book clubs. Boring. Surprising this thread surpassed 500 posts, but that's most likely due to not very many people talking about books often in here...

I'm sure he's at least started on it. Perhaps we can read the first couple of chapters.
