Is there even a future left for American comics?
Not with that price tag.
Why are Harley and Ivy positioned like Harley should have some kinda Jabba the Hutt leash and collar on Ivy. Like were they planning that and decided not to go through?
Floppy stapled superhero comic books still being published to this day is nothing short of a miracle. It's like seeing someone with stage 4 cancer survive an extra 20 years.
It’s tough to see an after to be honest. We’re either in AI pajeet land or something breaks and it’s Indie supremacy. If the industry *was* to turn it around I’d think it would be by becoming more like anime, slim chance, it would be an edgy era I’d say.
I honestly think the BIG TWO needs to fold in order to something to change.
Hey guys, i'm bored on a Saturday. I don't actually read any specific comics so can't talk about them per se, but I like bitching about political stuff and wokeness. So, join me, won't you, and we can pass the time together :)
Too many old nerds in charge there. They refuse to let go.
The BEN GARRISON LIBERATION ERA of comics.
Kevin Feige and Disney destroyed the comic book industry. The good thing is that many normies started reading these Marvel and DC woke comics and abandoned them and went to manga and anime. The good thing about this is that Disney and Warner will have to follow the success of the manga. Marvel and DC and make animated series. Disney has everything ready with Marvel Rivals, never to make animated series, but they are so incompetent there that you don't see anything, no marketing, no Marvel Rivals toys, so an animation with the Marvel Rivals style seems like it never will happen. Unfortunately, DC and Marvel have Kevin Feige and James Gunn as presidents, so the future is the worst possible.
I tried to read the new Batman but he was just training to be a boxer because his dad took him to the zoo once and Alfred was an Afghanistan war vet who didn't even know Bruce and I got confused and bored but at least the colors were pretty and the punching was drawn well.
Marvel and DC and make animated series
Cultural differences are at play, bro. What works in Japan doesn't work here.
I'd like to think it's cyclical
Most likely? Trumpcession dynamics where the government is an intrusive incompetent self-deluded autocratic force, the economy is in ruins, democracy is dead, etc. basically anti-government leftism.
god i hate this photo, why is everything so ugly and unnatural looking?
Unironically this, i was not expecting some thin ass book to be the same price as a Hellboy omnibus or "vol 1" of Vagabond.
I got confused
You didn't read it
don’t engage with someone overusing greentexts
how the hell do you get confused reading absolute batman?
Nothing, and no.
Is there even a future left for American comics?
No, thankfully.
future
Manga style comic where it is Clara Kent the Superwoman and Bryce Wayne the Batwoman
gay
the WOKE era of comics
Anon . . .
You were NEVER based, Ben.
The NEO-neoclassical period.
Is there even a future left for American comics?
No, if by american comics we are talking about the direct market comic book shops
You will be able to buy stuff on Amazon and in bookstores, but weekly floppies etc is done
And yes, the woke era killed it, it's insane how they were unable to capitalize even slightly from the massive capeshit phenomenon due to going all in on identity politics, and they are still doing it all the way to the end
But that literally worked for Invincible, and its animated show isn't even good.
I've read and own more comic books than you seen vaginas in your whole life
god i hate this photo, why is everything so ugly and unnatural looking?
maybe because it's a drawing, not a photo?
Yeah, now post a single actual comic page from the Silver Age where Superman lectures the audience about race, gender, etc.
How's the Golden Age work for ya?
they were unable to capitalize even slightly from the massive capeshit phenomenon due to going all in on identity politics
And they even managed to stop the cinematic capeshit gravy train the same way. But I guess that's a good thing, because fuck Disney and WB.
we are all Americans
regardless of race and religion
That's quite the opposite of modern identity politics, Anon
Hey anon, can you remind me why Superman's motto got changed?
You know, "truth, justice and something-something"?
Hey, you're the one who wants America to be for Anglo Christcucks only (even though Anglos already had their own beliefs totally separate from Abraham).
i meant to say drawing. the uncanny attempt at making these heroes look real is what's throwing me off
Nice try. I'm neither American or Christcuck, I'm just tired of the virtue signaling and lecturing instead of storytelling.
I'm not American
Then what do you care about American comics?
just the woodchipper
That's not woke though.
But that literally worked for Invincible
The show isn't 1:1 to the comic.
the nerds haven't been in charge for a long time. it's all old men who no longer care about comics and failed TV and movie writers trying to write a comic that will be adapted. sometimes they're the same person
broad strokes are there, that's what matters. Trying to play gotchas with aspects like supporting characters with race or gender swaps or cameos missing doesn't change the basic point.
Ivy and Batwoman are hot though
