So here is how I shall be approaching the marathon:
1- I'll read the books in chronological order of publication so as to have a solid idea of how exactly Batman has evolved throughout the years.
2-Reviews will appear once every couple weeks. 1 per week is never going to work with the sort of schedule I have and waiting more than 2 weeks between books might give the marathon a pace that is too slack. If I realize that the pace is too slow (there's more of a likely of that happening than the pace being too fast) will quicken things up with, say, 1 review per week. The first review come up early next week.
3-The reviews will try, at least, to express what I thought of the stories themselves, the artwork, and how well written the characters are, in particular Batman. Word of caution, I've never written about comics before, so things might be messy at first. After a while I'll most likely have a good feeling for what sort of Batman I myself like most. What I'm saying is by the end of this I'll be a Batman snob.
4-Pictures are nice, but I don't know how many I'll be able to post. Cover artwork seems like the simplest thing to attach to articles, although screen for individual pages or frames won't be easy.
5-Just in case anybody is wondering, I am trying to get my hands on issues in a legal manner as much as I can. Over the past 3 months I've bought about 10 books (some of which contain multiple stories. I'm guessing I own about 30 stories or so). There will some instances when a story or series won't be readily available (I'm thinking about those 60s and 70s stories of which I haven't seen many in books stores). Maybe I'll get some of those through tor-well, you know. But again, I'd rather not do that. It's a last case scenario.
6-Admittedly, I haven't put much thought into how others could participate. If it so happens that you have read the book I post a review for, please share comments. Reviews for books in the same run as the one I read are welcomed too since that would be keeping in spirit with the era the marathon is dealing with. If there are some who have reviews they really want to publish, even if the story is decades away, I won't stop you from doing so, although I might not read the review just yet since I want to go on my personal decade by decade journey.
Stay tuned for a list of books that are definitely in the marathon (cause I bought them, duh).
I hope you tag along for the ride!
