Readthrough Poll

Several people like the idea of a readthrough of the original series (available to read at the official EQ comics archive), and I'd thought "one per week," until [personal profile] blnchflr pointed out that that meant five months to get through them, which might be a long time to keep people's interest levels up. Especially given how much other EQ content there is.

I plan on starting a readthrough soon. I don't guarantee to follow the votes here exactly (I'll be balancing votes with comments, which might offer more compelling insight than straight numbers), but I don't want to pick a method that'll make everyone but me unhappy.

With "original series readthrough" as our first community activity--how would you like to do that? Quickly to get everyone caught up, or slowly to use each issue as a starting-point for discussions or fic? Point-by-point commentary on the issues, or an overview post that says "OQ, issue X, Title--go!"
