What about an occasional Comic Shop review?

I/ One a day is just right for Comics Daily. ;)

II/ They do the job at the length they are.

III-IV/ Well it’s not really DC/Marvel/Image and Dark Horse is it? It’s DC and Marvel with some others. Nine issues of Buffy isn’t Dark Horse. :p Would be nice to see a bit more variety.

VI-VII/ Ratings can be useful in summing up but aren’t all that important. It’s not like people can’t give their own score when replying anyway. The second opinion would only help if people explained it. So not like Amazon. ;)

Hey guys. Great job on the site! Here’s some feedback for you:

1. One review per day is really solid.
2. I’ve found the length of your reviews to be pretty good. It’s not overly long but still gets the point across.
3. You’ve done a pretty good job of jumping around enough to keep most fans of most titles pretty satisfied.
4. As a fan of DC and Marvel, I like the amount of reviews that you give to them. You could even set aside a day for indie reviews throughout your week if you wanted to though. Just a thought.
5. I think it would be interesting but you’ve done fine without them.
6. Personally, I’ve always been a number person so reviews with some sort of score are a good thing for me.
7. It would be an interesting feature.
8. Keep up the good work!

I’ve tried “reader feedback days” on my own blog, but get little to no response, so I feel your pain. As for answers:

1. One a day is perfect.
2. Reviews could be perhaps a little shorter, but I’m not really worried about the length.
3. I don’t see you guys reviewing too much of Avengers: The Initiative, Thor, or Invincible Iron Man but then again, I’m sure every reader has titles they wish you would review. You do seem to give a large amount of attention to the Buffy ongoing, but I’m sure that is a personal preference on your part. Overall, I like the diversity of what you guys review.
4. I like the mainly Marvel/DC attention.
5. If you guys did capsule reviews, I’d probably read them, but I’m not lamenting at the fact that you don’t have them either.
6. Personally, I like ratings, it is a good way to give a quick summary of how much you like the issue. I realize that ratings are subjective and are prone to being changed, but they provide a scale for how much you like a certain issue relative to other comics.
7. Yes, I’d like to see what your readers think of the issues you are reviewing.
8. You guys are doing a great job, keep it up! I read this usually daily!

Everything is peachy about the format. In fact, I rather enjoy that there isn’t a rating at the end of each review, like Alex said. I also would enjoy smaller reviews of a bit more weekly stuff, but not at the expense of your great full daily reviews.

I like the format, and I mostly like the selections; I was a little puzzled that Superman Beyond didn’t make the cut last week, but I imagine everyone could name one omission and that proves nothing. I think there are odd books from other publishers which would merit coverage – Avatar’s recent resurgence springs to mind. I like the lack of ratings – they’re a get-out for reviews that aren’t confident in their own prose, they simplify and de-nuance, and are generally a poor plan. But I would enjoy capsule reviews too.
