It's located here, is called 'New readers..start here!' and is designed with...well i'll just cross post from the first welcome post:
------------------------------
Welcome everybody, to this new project with the lofty aim of recommending comics to people who have never read one before, or who haven't read one for a long time.
We will cover superheroes, manga, alternative and web comics. We will not recommend anything where it is necessary to know decades of continuity. We will only recommend books that are available in a trade (collecting 6 to 8 of the monthly magazines) format so that you can get them from regular bookshops. We are keen on people using their local comic book shop but understand that they can be somewhat intimidating if you've never been in one before. To aid this, there will be a list of recommended local comic book shops made available.
We will aim to avoid comics with sexist, racist, homophobic or ableist overtones or intent. If there is some background to the comic, the writer or the art team that could contradict this policy, the issue will be mentioned and discussed within the review.
The contributors are Saranga and James Ashelford. For more information on either of them please visit their fun and lively blogs for the latest thoughts of the day.
For further information on what this site is trying to achieve please read this intro post and look at the Aims, objectives and information box located at the top right of the site.
The first book to be reviewed will be about Wonder Woman and we will be also be covering books that would make great Christmas presents, so be sure to Follow us or stop by at a later date to see what else has been posted.
I hope you enjoy, please leave comments on the posts and let us know your opinions!

Please go and have a look, especially if some of you haven't read a comic before and are interested in them - the first review is up now and concerns a Wonder Woman book - and if you consider it to be useful, please publicise the site to your networks!
This looks like fun!
