How can you stand to call yourself a fan of comic books/ how can you ACTUALLY spend time reading them? Basically anything that isnt a cherrypicked graphic novel made by people with actual talent is going to be absolutely horrible monday cartoon tier dogshit for "adults"

yes? Maybe the point is that when there are under 50 "good ones" it becomes laughable to make comic books a large part of your identity

>complaining about things not being mature enuff 4 u on the fucking comics and cartoon board
>Kill yourself awful mongoloid

you sound like an actual retard- right board huh? Where did I mention "mature"? If anything I was making fun of the notion that people act like comic books are often for adults when they involve laughable dogshit like wonder woman, the flash, superman etc

DURR HE CAN FLY AND SHOOT LAZERS OUT OF HIS EYES AND IS INVISIBEL AND SUPER STRONG AND SEES THRU WALLS AND AND

anyone who pays for this trash should neck themselves because comic books DO have potential as a medium as evidenced by masterpieces like the killing joke and watchmen

If course I'm a comic fan
I watch all of the movies

>killing joke

Choose one and only one.
Also there are tons of comics outside of the superhero genre
>>
>>85678753
How is that different from any other media?
How many genuinely consistently great TV shows have there been? Movies? Hell what percentage of plays are worth a second viewing?

>TKJ
>Watchmen

Ok now I know you have hardly read any comics and are, in fact, a newfag. KYS for being a newfag.

true, but the same logic applies to them

>killing joke
>masterpiece
>Choose one and only one.

the only people who dont think that are contrarians who hate how popular the killing joke is

>>85678957
this is true, but movie buffs have thousands of genuinely great movies to appreciate- nobody calls them a "TV buff" either so that point is moot

>>85678959
>Ok now I know you have hardly read any comics and are, in fact, a newfag. KYS for being a newfag.

They were the first ones off the top of my head, but yes, the only comics ive read are a few older batman comics, a few older spiderman comics, a bunch of SPAWN and the BLOOD RAIN story for batman which I own and a LOBO christmas special which I also own

everything else has been actual graphic novels

I probably wouldnt like batman either if it wasnt for growing up with the superior animated series

Uh, so this is why bat-fags are so hated

Surprise 99% of anything is trash

Right now If I walk into a bookstore or go on Netflix and pick things at random I have a high chance of getting crap.

>>85678981
All those sound like shit desu. If you pick Spider-man or |Spawn, why would you expect a masterpiece?
>>
>>85678753
>under 50 "good ones"
As opposed to those 50 great Hollywood movies in theaters right now?
>but you can't define just by how big their release is what about-
Sorry anon, not interested in your Cherry picking.
>>
>>85678638
Someone isn't familiar with Poe's law, I see.

I don't even have to cherrypick. Even if we exclude manga, where a decent serie/OS comes out at least every month or so in the middle of the shonen sea, there is more american/eurocomics being produced than you could read evey week.
And that's without taking 70+ years of already produced comics into account.
You could read an interesting comic book every day of your life without hassle.
