It's time to make your Patron's Choice for September's line-up of new guides in this X-Men (and Howard the Duck) vs. DC edition of the poll.
I know many of you are X-Men fans, so I have a suspicion of how this might go... but, you might surprise me!
This poll includes several X-Men with enough solo titles to their name that they really ought to have their own guides by now: Emma Frost, Gambit, Nightcrawler, and Old Man Log...

I've been hard at work on this month's Patron's Choice guide, and it turned out that I needed to knock out a pair of supporting guides so that it would make any sense at all:
Hello, fine Patrons!
Now that I've cranked out eight new guides over the past six weeks, I want to get back to one of the other benefits of being a CK Patron: choosing an upcoming guide!
Listed below are 10 Marvel and DC guides I hope to launch within the next 12 months. It's up to you to pick the one of these guides that will launch in August to ALL Patrons.
There are some obscure favorites in here as well as some tempting heavy hitters, and you can vote for as many options...

I'm planning to continue trialing this post through the end of March. My hope is that these predictable updates can help you stay tuned in to what's happening across all of Crushing Krisis/Comics. Plus, it can be a place you can chime in w...

UPDATE: This initial test worked for 10+ Patreons based on comments here and via direct messages, so it has now been rolled out to all guides!
You now do not have to log in to Crushing Krisis to see Guide Content. If you are logged into Patreon in your browser, content at your pledge level should display automatically on CK.

UPDATE: Comic guides are back! You might experience intermittent problems loading page content for the next week. A forced-reload never hurts. I have to replace one of my older plugins to resolve this.

Hello, intrepid Patrons!
It's been far too long since I've polled you on your opinions, so prepare to revel in your total power over my publishing schedule.
While there are a lot of X-Men, there are not a lot of X-Men without a Crushing Comics guide who have had ongoing titles to their names - or, least, significant runs of comics outside of being a member of an X-team.
I'd like to fill in the guides for those few characters before we dive deeply into readi...

Hello, my uncanny Patrons!
This month I'm trying out a different sort of poll with a different sort of goal. I want you to vote for every indie title on this list that you'd love to have a guide to reading and collecting (as well as any other options that represent your opinion).
You don't have to read this whole post to vote - feel free to jump to it! Vote for as many things as you'd like. More votes are better.
Why are you voting entirely on indie guides?
