No. I've done so much stupid shit that it'd be way too easy for them to get me.

I mean I regularly browse and post on this site, and have for a few years.
So, yeah probably, depending on who's saying it and what exactly it is they say. Not all roasts are created equal.

Marvel killed their main gimmick
Jumping-On Points
The argument for relaunches is that new readers won't pick up a comic book with high numbers, preferring to wait for the story to start over with a new #1.
"Of course [comic book publishers] should always be doing relaunches," said Jesse James, owner of Jesse James Comics in Glendale, Ariz. "New generations continue to flock to the comic book world. Old time collectors are going to collect regardless."
In fact, without relaunches, retailers would see a huge slowdown in new comic book sales, James aid. "Relaunches always work as long as we are partnering up with the publisher and making social marketing a must on each new project," the retailer said.
Believe it or not, they really do work in bringing new readers in," said Bret Parks, owner of Ssalefish Comics in Winston-Salem, N.C. "The downside is explaining to new readers the difference between volumes and also in organizing these book in our back issue bins. But that is really about it."
Customers who complain, Parks said, are usually "few and far between" and still continue to buy the books. "It is a minor inconvenience at worse for long time readers," Parks said, "but really terrific for new readers all around."

Diminishing Returns
But several retailers we surveyed said the sales boost on #1 issues have been lower recently, and they attributed that reduction to the growing number of relaunches from (mainly) superhero publishers.
Ryan Seymore, owner/president of Comic Town in Columbus, Ohio, said relaunches have reached the point of being "an incredibly negative force of the medium."
"DC has had the most success with the reboot tactic," Seymore said, "but by changing from the New 52 to Rebirth within five years has gone through a cycle that has both lost and gained new and veteran fans.
"With Marvel's seemingly annual soft renumbering, they have pushed away more readers with each 'relaunch,'" Seymore added. "I feel that we have reached the end of this tactic's viability."
Some retailers compared the frequent relauches to the little boy who "cried wolf" — eventually, nobody listens or takes it seriously.
"The problem with the constant re-numbering is that each new re-start reduces reader and retailer confidence," said Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics. "There really isn't anything special about a first issue anymore."
"I think it’s gotten pretty tough for relaunches to work as well as they once did," said Matthew Price, co-owner of Speeding Bullet comics in Norman, Okla.

DC vs. Marvel
Many retailers felt that DC's recent relaunches have done much better than Marvel's because they were concentrated around two events — New 52 in 2011 and "Rebirth" in 2016.
"New first issues used to be a big deal," said Charlie Harris, owner of Charlie's Comic Books in Tucson, Ariz. "Marvel has turned it into a gimmick that no longer works. In fact, my customers often tell me that a big number one on a Marvel title means a jumping off point rather than a jumping on one. Customers who were die-hard Marvel fans for decades have walked away altogether in the past few years, frustrated with the constant reboots and the lack of fan favorite characters or the dilution of the same with the countless Spider characters and Iron characters out there.
"On the other hand, DC has had much success with this as the New 52 and the Rebirth both brought lots of new readers," Harris said.
"Some relaunches work," Field said. "DC has done it with strong results twice in the last five years. But I doubt if that would work a third time. I'd love to see some kind of Rebirth initiative with Marvel where the company has a dozen or so 'tent-pole' titles featuring generally recognizable versions of their classic characters. From that, they can do their experimental takes on these characters, and those surely could start from issue #1."
Matthew Price, co-owner of Speeding Bullet Comics in Norman, Okla., agreed that Rebirth's new #1 issues worked well, possibly because there were so few relaunches in the five years since the New 52 reboot.
"I think fans are interested in new first issues, certainly," Price said. "But I think the odds of it working are better if it’s a character or project that’s had a rest for a certain amount of time, as opposed to one month’s #18 being followed by the next month’s #1.

Remember when John Constantine WASN'T a bootleg Doctor Strange in a PG-13 comic book?
Let's watch the CW's newest comic book musical murder mystery teen drama together.
>SERIES PREMIERE — As a new school year begins, the town of Riverdale is reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad Fred’s (Luke Perry) footsteps — despite his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy (guest star Sarah Habel). With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Archie must look for a new music mentor and turns to Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) but she is focused solely on her band, Josie and the Pussycats. Weighing heavily on his mind is also his fractured friendship with budding writer Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). Meanwhile, girl-next-door Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is anxious to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she’s not quite ready to reveal her true feelings to him. And Betty’s nerves, which are hardly soothed by her overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick), aren’t the only thing holding her back. When a new student, Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), arrives in town from New York with her mother Hermione (Marisol Nichols), there’s an undeniable spark between her and Archie, but Veronica doesn’t want to risk her new friendship with Betty. And then there’s Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch), Riverdale’s Queen Bee, who is happy to stir up trouble amongst the others even though she’s keeping a few secrets of her own.

I pray this is as insane as it seems.
Don't watch this garbage let it get cancelled so they can put Constantine in it's place

It's bad enough he's a clone, but he's a clone of Aquaman.

‘iZombie’ Season 3 Stars Rose McIver, David Anders And More Want To Do A Musical Episode
BY CHRISTIAN SACLAO ON
01/18/17 AT 1:59 AM
“iZombies” Season 3 cast members Rose McIver (Liv Moore), David Anders (Blaine DeBeers), Malcolm Goodwin (Clive Babineaux) and Aly Michalka (Peyton Charles) would like to do a musical episode.
“Please campaign for an ‘iZombie’ musical episode,” McIver told fans during an interview with TVGuide. “We’ve all been wanting it.”
“I think that would be great,” added Goodwin.
Anders and Michalka, meanwhile, said that if “The Flash,” “Supergirl” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” can do it, then “iZombie” can definitely do it, too. “We’ve been lobbying hard for a musical episode. I mean if ‘Flash’ can do it, [we can do it, too], Anders said, referring to the upcoming musical crossover event between “The Flash” and “Supergirl” in the spring. “And we’ve been compared to ‘Buffy’ in the past, and ‘Buffy’ did one.”
But not all series regulars are in favor of doing a musical episode. “I don’t want to do a musical episode at all, never,” Rahul Kohil (Ravi Chakrabarti) said.
Robert Buckley (Major Lilywhite) agreed with him, saying: “It’s not like Taco Bell sees the Whopper doing so well and goes, ‘Oh yeah, we should make one of those!’ Stick to what you know! Drama! Zombie romance!” http://www.ibtimes.com/izombie-season-3-stars-rose-mciver-david-anders-more-want-do-musical-episode-2476766
The difference between those other shows that have had musicals and this one is that there are in-universe reasons that you can plausibly have a musical. For iZombie they don't really have supernatural beings (at least not yet) like the comic did so you can't have someone curse them to sing or whatever. It would just have to be a random musical episode that isn't plot related. I don't know if that makes sense. I'd still watch it though.

There, plot
Milly is cute. CUTE!
What happened with her?
In her first appearance she was an autist who couldn't be seperated from her teddy bear and then after that no more autism.
>>89435950
The autism is probably off-camera; I wouldn't put it past her and Tamiya to pad their word counts with hobby "journalism" hot takes.
>>89435696
No she's not!
>>89435677
Stupid because Superman and Lois didn't get together till after the show.
8/10 biased because its my childhood, best version of most of the characters imo
It was great. It didn't get as much attention as BTAS because it didn't have as many emmy worthy episodes, but overall the quality was as good or better.
A new episode of DC Superhero Girls is out now. Batgirl get's kidnapped by Killer Moth .

Here's the trailer for season 3 .

Looks cool .
She doesn't say her last name but that girl in the glasses is totally Lena Luthor .
The show is getting a comic for Free Comic Book Day this year. It's a sneak peek at the next graphic novel.
ITT: Characters who could lift Mjolnir
The flying nimbus is kinda like Mjolnir, right?
>>89435450
He can't even say it, forget lifting.
her brother is cuter
>>89435128
I liked her better when she was a statue.
>>89435817
Well, she wasn't too much of a character after that anyway

What was his endgame?
Who is this guy anyway?
To save kids from themselves.
>>89434973
No more annoying, hyper active kids hopped up on soda. He somewhat undermined himself by going after root beer, which has no caffeine. Should have crusaded against cola.
