Are you bothered by the possible lack of colors in a comic?

>>80875686
I probably prefer B&W for calm slice of life type stuff.

what about noir-like stuff?
think about Sin City

Manga kind of hurts my brain after reading for awhile, the black and white makes it wear on me. I don't dislike it, it's just tiring, you know?

Comics with good colors feel amazing. Bad coloring makes the art look bad and makes my mind disengage with the story.

Your head is weak.

I bet your head hurts if you look at the color yellow.

I don't mind B&W, but for capeshit, I've gotten used to colors. I've thought about they making capeshit comics in black and white to save on production costs and leaving color for trades only, though.

I've read my share of B&W indie comics, as well as mangoes, and I think it gives it a nice ghosty feel. But color can give a nice aspect, especially if you're dealing with a competent colorist that manages to keep it gritty.

There are few manga that actually do black and white well which is fucking ridiculous. Your head is probably hurting from staring at thin black lines washed out by whiteness everywhere else.

This guy gets it. The answer is what ever style servers the story best.

I hate the colorists who think brown/gray means realism but what makes it worse is that the only alternative are colorists who put gridients into everything.

Colors can fuck all over the art.

Colors are overrated and add to that the fact that your average american capeshit page is often unpleasantly busy and you get eye cancer.

we simply change our tastes and techniques with time, colors just don't age well.

>>80876084
Shit
it reminds me of the Killing Joke recolor

>>80876084
Do you have more examples like this?

But that's the good recolor, the bad one is the Marvel one.

I really wanna read Claremont/Byrne X-Men in B&W, i've heard it's much better.

99% of the time recolors are shit

>>80876084
the tastes didn't change, the cost of production did

b/w works best when the artist understands shit like how to properly use black space, but if not that I prefer it to be highly detailed which also works well with b/w

>>80875686
I think there's a lot of comic art that loses power with color.
Mignola is strong both B&W and in color, and some like Land absolutely need an awesome colorist to look even decent. But some like Capullo, Lee, Walker, Platt, Pacheco, Finch, DeZuniga, Silvestri and Miller actually lose impact with color.

>>80878611
Byrne's work looks great in black and white, those Uncanny X-Men essential books are worth it

> 99% of the time recolors are shit

I think the real problem is digital restoration of the original colors for old comics. Newsprint help to mute the colors, but on modern glossy paper they come across as garish.

>Capullo
Who was his Zero Year colorist? Because Zero Year without the color would lose a lot of its charm.

I always find it funny when color coded heroes get B/W art, kinda ruins the names
>pick up Showcase Blue Beetle
>art is B/W

>>80880185
FCO Plascencia, he's pretty much Capullo's official colorist since they worked before on Spawn and Haunt.

i'm so mad they aren't in print

thank Varley for starting that meme

>>80880302
Volume 2 is pretty cheap online, it's just volume 1 you may end up paying a little over MSRP for

>>80875686
Absolutely B & W, duo-tone, screentones, they all look great to me.It's old news now but I love risograph printing too. In fact I prefer the aforementioned to today's modern digital colouring. Cartoonists like Carol Swain who uses coloured pencils, Dash Shaw's background's painted on acetate cells...so much innovation happening nowadays. But B & W, grayscale and duo=tone are my favourite "looks"

There's a difference between uncolored inks and something drawn to actually be black and white.

Batman Black and White. I hope there will be new ones someday.

they've been releasing the Noir black and white versions of classic Batstories, I've been tempted

>>80880593
There's a new one coming out by Morrison.

Shakara is one of my favorite comics and it's black and white.

Actually sometimes I am bothered by color in comics, like TWD for example I am used to the Black and White format that when I saw the colored edition of the 1st issue it bothered me and it didn’t look as good.

Same thing happened with Judge Dredd, the Case files are in black and white and now Judge Dredd comics in color feel weird.

>>80875686
I have the DC showcase #1 of Booster Gold which is black and white, and I felt compelled to color it in where it was a single page. I couldn't color in the whole thing though because the paper is double sided and the ink would bleed through it.

>>80880923
Fuck, I don't know why it was black and white in my head.

>>80875686
>Did you ever read black and white-only comics
Fuckload of comics I read were B&W.
