DC might not be able to score ratings for its comic-based television shows like The Walking Dead, but as the old saying goes, if you can’t beat ’em, purchase advertising time during their commercial break. It’s in that spirit that DC Comics will be running eleven different commercials for their Rebirth initiative on AMC next year, as well as networks nobody watches like IFC, TBS, TNT, TruTV, El Rey and Boomerang (these are comics, folks, let’s not break the budget). It won’t be the first time DC has run ads on television, but unfortunately, they tend to be the sort of low budget animated trailers that are about on par with the quality of a motion comic.
Look, DC, let’s have some real talk here. Nobody likes motion comics. The comic art form wasn’t meant to be animated. We have cartoons for that. When you animate still drawings, they just look like an inferior version of a cartoon. Stop doing it. Hire some actors, or animate from scratch, and make commercials that people will actually be impressed by. You can show the comics in the commercials. You should. But don’t make the commercial all pans of the comic pages with cheap royalty-free music. It’s not a good look. That’s our advice, and we hope DC takes it.
Newsarama has the report, and they also say that DC will help retailers pay the cost of local advertising with spots in the commercials for local store names. Look for controversial retailer Dennis Barger to find some way to complain about that on Bleeding Cool tomorrow morning. http://www.newsarama.com/32493-dc-rebirth-commercials-coming-to-major-networks-in-2017.html http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/12/22/dc-rebirth-commercials-come-cable-2017/

I wonder who pays them for attacking based DC?
Why the fuck is this bitch always punching someone in everything she's in?

That's literally all superheroes do.

Why is Kataang superior to Zutara?
>>88610895
Because "Oh look they're fighting they must really love each other" is lazier and less inspired than straight up growing closer together.

So diverse.

>Roland being more buff than Garrett
Well, that pretty much renders Garrett useless since his upper body strength was the only asset he brought to the dynamic.
Also, why is Roland buff, anyway? He was the scholar/mechanic voiced by fuckin Carlton from Fresh Prince. He was not a jock.

I was revisiting my issues of MAD from when I was a teenager. My favorite part was always Bitterman, a frequent denizen of The Fundalini Pages.
Dumping my Bitterman collection. Looking back, these aren't that good, but they were my favorite shit back in the mid-2000s.
Hey /co/, finally done with uni and want to make hot tea, put my dog in a sweater, kick back in a chair and read some comfy comics. I'll start the thread off with a few of my own rec, but please post your own! Preferably something that's not super canon-reliant, and street-level seems more comfy than cosmic, but post whatever.

Being a DCfag can be tough sometimes, but there's always that light.
>>88608991
How do you know?
Also, people keep talking about 'HYDRA War'. What is that?
>>88608991
I guess that confirms we're getting a Thunderbolts movie

Are there more? If so please share

I always thought it was the picture of SpongeBob crying as he said "Santa Claus."
>>88608854
It's funny up until you realize it's that Mr.Krabs meme.
Is Pat Lee /our/ guy?
>>88608656
Nobody on /co/ has read it

I remember their TMNT comics were... weird.
>>88609137
They were kind of interesting, but not canon in any way to the '03 show. They were more like fancomics in their overall tone, really.
So /co/, which was the superior turtle series?
My favorite is the2003 version
2003 and whenever was the first cartoon. I don't like "art" of last Turtles at all.
>>88608347
>2003 version
/thread
>>88608347
They're hard to compare. 2003 was a compelling action series while 87 was an absurd action comedy.

How so, he's been receiving spot light and praise as of recent.
Two issues by Waid and one about voting and KAMALA IS CUTE! CUTE! is gone.

Don't think that one is going to be an unpopular opinion, RH has been fairly solid for a while.
My nominations are pic related, specifically the Man of Steel version - I think the character reacted superbly to the situations he was forced into.
My other mention would be Carol Danvers.
In both cases, I think the hate they get should be directed to the writers, who are trying to do stupid things with good characters.
