/co/ resolve an argument. When we Captain Marvel first referred to as Shazam? Not in terms of the renaming of the comic book, but the actual character referred to as "Shazam" instead of Captain Marvel.
My uncle is saying that the character has always been known as both names, but I'm insisting it was a recent change due to copyrighting.
Citations welcome. Also Captain Marvel general.
It's not a copyrighting issue at all. DC can use the name just not in the title. You mean branding, I think.

Well when was he first referred to as Shazam? Not the books being called Shazam, but Cap himself being called Shazam as his name?
>>93648633
Freddy Freeman went by the name Shazam in 2006bin Trials of Shazam. But Billy Batson wasn't "Shazam" until after Flashpoint in 2011.
Your uncle probably thinks it's been longer because the comic has been called "Shazam" since the seventies for copyright reasons.
Well /co/?
Is this comic any good?
>>93648366
From start to finish. Obscenely underrated and did social commentary right by showing everyone was kind of shitty but also redeeming at the same time.
>>93648366
Yes, it's one of the year's best. It got a little redundant near the end but still a great run
>>93648366
The black humour throughout made the finale all the better.
Why do people on here whine about comic book companies targeting people who don't buy comics when the only way the industry can sustain itself is to convert non-comic readers into customers?
>>93648333
Alienating your core audience is never a good idea. If they really wanted to attract people to comics they'd make them
A) more accessible.
B) cheaper
C) filled with more content.
Ideally they'd find a way to attract new readership without abandoning (and in a lot of cases shitting on) their established readership
There are also business practices that make the concept of new readership an uphill climb. Comic book stores are more 'threatening' of a place to get them then the grocery store or online, Diamond's monopoly discourages innovation and competition, and in general issue prices are considered too high
>>93648414
That's what always concerned me. Wouldn't it be easier to sell comics in grocery stores? I've never seen anything but Archie comics in grocery stores and that's an easy way to expand the market

Go ahead and dump the ones you've made, because you're clearly not getting the response you were hoping for.
That said, I'll read yours.
I literally can't find any others by the way.
what an awful thread
ITT: Funny faces from The Amazing World of Gumball.

You need to start first OP.
Makes me laugh every time.
isn't that the only thing the show does in regards to humor?
there's a new ebin maymay face every, like, 20 seconds max inbetween scenes.
Would you fuck Roger?

PURGE THE XENOS SCUM
I want milky Rojah.
>>93647828
I wouldn't even want to associate with him.
Any interaction with Roger has like a 10% chance of leading to your death, or a 70% chance of you getting screwed over.
Were we supposed to feel sorry for him?
>>93647352
If we were, he blew it.
The suicide thing was going a bit far, but I think we all have those moments where we see some dangerous moron succeed and grind our teeth over it.
>>93647861
Was it really suicide?
Why is TTG Raven so perfect?

She's Raven even TTG can't corrupt her.
>season 1
A wacky alcoholic mad scientist needs "an extra pair of hands" on his elaborate space errands and turns to his grandson who is slow, but helpful where it counts. Rick loves Morty
>season 2
Mad scientist drags around a whiny sack of shit who doesn't even need to be there and goes on adventures through dimensions . Rick tolerates Morty.
>season 3 [so far]
The hyper intelligent god-king of the universe who can do whatever he wants just because he feels like it NEEDS TEH SAUCE MORTY!
What went wrong?
>>93647181
Morty is a whiny sack of shit in episode 1
the entire show is embarrassing garbage
>>93647181
wow look at anon! he's a contrarian! now he can surely fit in!
>>93647181
Somewhere along the line Rick turned into an unstoppable Mary Sue, maybe he was one the whole time. Hell, he destroyed the government and a whole Citadel full of alternate versions of himself, the only people who could possibly match him.
There's some hope for Evil Morty but what can do to such a godly person, he's just a morty.
>"He may have been your father but he wasn't your daddy."
It's the same fucking thing.
"daddy" in the sexual sense, Anon
>>93647176
Yes, Yondu was fucking Starlords boipucci
>>93647144
I know youre meming but it hurt me watching this as someone who had neither. I woulda killed for a yondu in my life, atleast he was around.
Also god damn if the mohawk thing he gets isnt one of the coolest damn space-pirate/cyberphunk aesthetic pieces ive ever seen in film. Just looks fucking good man.
maybe I'm breaking the rules by starting with this because i can't even place what pic related is from, but it looks so familiar to me. anyone remember this show?
>>93647086
What country did you watch this show in? Was it in english?
>>93647249
i think it was in english? i might be mistaken, i originally found this image on /x/ so i may not even recognize it for what it is. it just LOOKS so familiar to me. i may be remembering it from watching it online at some point.
