That sounds like it might be fun!
I'm curious though... the Usagi Yojimbo! page is a Group, administered by a fan who I am not familiar with. The page seems to be quite popular with only 620 members.
The Usagi Yojimbo Dojo however is a community page, and has over 13,000 "Likes" and "Followers"
I guess a community has different rules and settings than a group does. I know several of our Dojo Forum members adminitrate the FB Dojo page. Could we, should we set up a FB Dojo group if it is easier for members to contribute and participate?
Good questions, Miachan!
My opinion: the Usagi Yojimbo! group is doing fine without us creating another one. There is a lot of positive natural engagement there. If we tried to build a new group it might create confusion and why questions. I think it is great that someone created the group and it seems to be in the same spirit of UYD page. Win-win, for now.
Personally, I think the group has a lot of engagement right now between all the collectors (including us

). Let's see if the engagement is at a similar amount if we do a book club on the group. We will still announce it on the UYD page but point them to the UY! group.
Of course, I'm not the final say. Just putting my thoughts out there.

Peace, maka

Those are good points Maka! I just like making observations and coming up with ideas (which may be good or bad).
I think the FB Dojo page is a good facility for announcements. The one bad thing I see with it are visitor posts get delegated to a separate page and don't seem to get a lot of views (Likes or comments).

So far, I've loved all three of the IDW issues, with one (admittedly not-very-important) exception: I can't stand the paper that they're printed on. I know that most comics are printed on glossy/slick paper nowadays, but I'd love it if they would use the type of paper DC's currently using for their Superman comics. Of course, this has nothing to do with the story, which was fantastic, as usual.
