Love the header/logo of the forum. It really is nice and well designed. I love your forum post icons as well for forums with new posts, did you design it yourself? You also have a good amount of topics/posts in your forum for the amount of members you have. Good luck with the site 🙂

Firstly, my apologies for the wait with your review. Upon opening your site I was immediately drawn into the comic-book world. From the comic bubbles to the comic books on the boards, even to the shade of red, it's quite eye catching but simple at the same time. I know to many sites that have very overwhelming designs to get their niche across, and you are definitely not one of them. I also absolutely adore the superman icon in the header.
Excellent
If you could not already tell I am a huge fan of the theme. From the amazing little new/old comic book icons to the little comic bubbles that dress up your board names, it's perfect put together. I do think however for your board statistics icons that you could incorporate more of the superhero theme, the current icons right now do not really match with the rest of the forum. Upon more research into the site I did find a rather small formatting issue with your site guidelines.
The spacing between the -No's is different, it's not something major however having the spacing match each rule seems more fitting and fluid, especially if you plan on expanding the rules at a later date.
The favicon also seems to be deterring from the overall theme of the forum. A favicon is your own little stamp for your forum, so I would suggesting possibly adding a comic-book like favicon to match with your theme as well as be easily noticed in user's bookmarks if they had your forum saved.
I also found the thread icons (new,hot,poll,etc.) to be a little confusing at first. I definitely would consider adding some kind of legend or key to tell users the difference between each icon.
Good
As this is being written, you have just above 1,500 posts with 38 members in total, and this is not bad however it could be better. The topics in each board seem to be the spread out which is a good thing, you do not have all of your forums topics in one board letting the others out to dry. I would focus on trying to create more threads in each of the boards to help kickstart activity. It's also nice to see the amount of active members you have currently, which is 5 in the past 45 minutes. It shows the site has some active members which is a plus for potential members to see.
Average
Final Remarks
Overall your site looks fantastic and the community looks fun and active. With some touches here and more threads and posts overtime, I can see your site taking off and the community becoming even better than what it seems now.
