I like the menu on the sample site.
Font seems to be bigger, that's good. Try not to reduce the font size on long quotes (my old eyes). Try changing the color, boxing it off, or something else.
Keep up the great work!

New Style: Gooooood
Morrus;
Just thought I'd chime in with the positive comments on the first proposed re-design. Nice work. I like the idea of collecting most of the navigational apparatus into the strip across the top.
I have to say that if you do decide to change the color scheme, please consider using colors that are as contrasty as the white & yellow on black.

I do not like the drop down menus. I like to see the sub-categories visible under the main heading so I can go straight to the reviews/publisher list/etc. I want. This also lets me see what else the site has to offer - If I don't see many links, I assume there is not much content, and this place has plenty to offer. Visible sub-categories are very good for folks who are new to the site.
Perhaps you can keep the headings and visible sub-categories on the left, but remove the new releases from the right and make them a sub-category or a text-link list on the left.

New Layout...Ugh
Well Morrus, I have to say that I like the menu at the top, but everything under that stinks.
Maybe you should have two columns, one on each side to display important info, sort of what its like now, but without the clutter.
Try checking out www.gamespot.com and www.gamefaqs.com .
The later has a nice simple layout, whereas gamespot is probably a little complex.

The Dropdown menu from the first version is a real bother to my system, it slows down noticably and to see the ad impose itself over the text as I scroll down is a really bothersome sight.
The second version dropdown2 looks quite nice, but the whole left hand menu vanishes and you can't get into any subcategories...
Can this be changed somehow ?

Excelent!
Hi Morrus,
Excelent, the drop down menu is a must, it organizes everything and is much easier to use than a buch of menus to the left and right.
About comic site, I liked only one thing from that site. The news are writen in 2 columns at the place of a single one as you do. You see, when someone reads texts, it is always easier and more inviting to read if the columns are more narow. And it would make changes to the way the site look.
Ok, with my next comment I expect to be flamed but here goes : Lose the black background, get back to the yelllow one you had before, that was more easier on the eye. *OR* .....
...Thinking about it....
IF it is possible, and IF you have access to a couple of web guys that could help you, I would (But I work 70 hours a week), make themes!! Just 2 or 3, One could be dark as it i right now, one could be the old yellow one and an other one to your liking... What do you think? You keep all the items positionned at the same place but the color patter could be changed.
My suggestions
