Saga is pretty shit though, but I know a lot of people that like it. I liked it myself at first, until I saw that it was going no where, was incredibly vapid and was decompressed to shit. My girlfriend liked it too, until she realized the exact same thing. My aunt reads Saga though, she loves it. So you know, different strokes, whatever.

I personally like Saga but it suffers from a big problem that lots of media does. When you start killing lots of characters it becomes hard to become attached to anyone since you know that anyone who gets introduced is just there to get killed off. I think this might be why a lot of people like it at first and then fall off of it.

id say Sandman can be casual, depending on who reads it, but there is a lot of depth and deep pulls from the DC universe in it. And Swamp Thing is popular sure, but I wouldn't call it casual. Its definitely one of the first "british invasion" books people read, and there are casuals that read it, but the work itself is not casual.

>>89029685
Many reasons. There is no freedom in events. A writer cannot decline an event. An event is forced upon the writers, and every single writer must either obey or leave the publisher. The ideas behind events are not creative ideas because they do not come from creators. At best they come from editors, but just as often they come from marketers and accountants and executives. The execution on those ideas are lacking because the creators resent the event being forced upon them, and so the creators provide the bare minimum of their efforts. Events take existing storylines and derail them, events take beloved characters and destroy them. Events take readers near the edge and burn those readers out, causing those readers enough anger and exhaustion so as to make them give up the medium altogether. Events exist not out of any desire to create something worthwhile, but only out of a desire to create something profitable. Events aren't created with gentle care, but pumped out as if on a factory assembly line. And even then the delays and confusion and broken promises cause trouble for retailers, often leading to customer loss which in turn eventually leads to retailer closure. Evens are a cancer upon the industry.

Only casuals worship events.

So worship Sinestro Corps War all you want, but back to the original point: Blackest Night is shit.

>>89028459

Well, I'm not buying comics anyway, so most of your arguments are pretty invalid for me. And what with this creators are "forced" meme? Most authors push whatever idea they want inside of events. Rucka pushed BM/WW during BN just for fun.
Blackest Night has tons of great moments, decent dialogs and mostly good art. Also it was good conclusion to Johns long GL run which lead to another great run.

For the former I say sure and ask what they're interested in. If I don't have something that fits I lie and say there's something I was thinking about ordering if they don't mind waiting until it gets delivered and I read it first, then I'll look up something good enough that I'd want to own it.
In the second case dude is fucked because I'm not into TWD.

>>89028459
So is the joke that Saga is a shitty comic or only girls like? I'm neither a girl nor have I read it

>>89030426
It's about the action that they take and the justification that they provide for taking that action.

The patrons make the girl uncomfortable enough to leave because "girls don't like comics", but the reason that girls don't like comics is that the patrons always make girls uncomfortable enough to leave.

You shouldn't need to have this explained to you.

>>89030307

One 9 is greater than 8 1s. That was the point.

>>89028895
>>89028816

The inherent problem with Saga was that it relied on cliffhangers and shocking twists, that usually meant killing characters off, to keep you hooked. Once you read it for couple of arcs and you have any type of self-awareness while reading the comic, the formula becomes pretty apparent and stale, since it's so predictable. That, combined with the constant jumping and no real clear linear storyline made me drop it after like twenty issues when I realized I didn't really care anymore what was happening.

>>89031533

Why censor yourself?

why is it always women who get their fee fees hurt? men can bantz all day but suddenly you aim it at a woman and they break down crying about their victim complex

its cute that they think reading a marvel comic like Vision will suddenly mean that we should accept them having """good""" taste

That's the part that triggers /co/. Every single one of them will see and say it's bullshit and that things that happen in this comic never happen in reality because "WELL I'M NOT LIKE THAT" so clearly they think it's all made up.

But then the second you look at the catalogue, you'll see dozens of threads of the exact same behavior that they were saying doesn't exist in fandom and is all just a vicious fiction made up by Dorkin and the feminists and tumblr and whatever other boogeyman of the moment there is.

It's just retarded how everyone assume you HAVE to be a guy to enjoy comics even if its just capeshit.

>>89031640
Women are coddled all their lives because of guys who want to get with them. They are not used to be called out so they break down when they have to leave their safe space. Instead of getting over it, they attempt to run away or force other people to fight for them.

Women are a mess.

It's not the norm. Evan Dorkin makes a point to say that this is about the worst of the worst he's met in his time at conventions and comic book stores.

But people on here like to pretend people like this don't exist. They most certain do, and they most certainly browse here.

That's hilarious. I'd have to hear tone to get complete context. It's tough having a hobby that's dominated by the other gender. I'd hate to be a guy who likes knitting, for example.

This.
Honestly if you come on this board with any frequency at all and you can't relate to these conversations you're deluding yourself. He isn't saying all comic fans are like this, just that some of them are and they're pretty fucking funny. Back when I was younger I would read Dork and laugh my ass off because it reminded me of people I knew, it was real 'because it's true' humor that every comic fan could relate to. But nowadays you're all just so desperate to be offended by anything that you forgot how to laugh at yourselves. It's just sad.

>>89031641
Great strawman comic but how about the fact that women do tend to ruin communities? You think people make it up out of thin air? No, they've seen it happen and don't want it to happen again. There's even a pic about how it happens made by /v/ or /tg/ or something. People outside the community come in just to socialize and casualize the hobby. Women joining is the beginning of the end.

When it was brand new they made fun of it.

I think it first appeared back when D&D 4e was new and the Edition Wars were raging and somebody's argument was that the game actually being good and drawing in new players was a horrible danger and that it should remain shitty and impenetrable in order to protect the sanctity of The Hobby.

>>89031970
Because they think they are the same people who keep shit like Hellcat and Unbelievable Squirrel Girl alive.

"No, we women aren't causing all these problems! It's all in your head!"

But it's more likely to speak to a woman on /co/ than it is a Jew. Except on live action adaptation threads of course.

>>89032016
Think about it. You become a Jew if your MOTHER was a Jew, not if your father was. The male genitals are what the Jews mutilate, not the female ones.

also notice how they never make any mention of actually teaching newcomers. If they had actually shown green the ropes, then by the time brown showed up green would be a third black. most of the browns would also be black by the time pink showed up, and even if she was just there for attention, in a community of mostly blacks she would ave had to become a black herself to get proper validation, which would be zero problem because, oh shit, she's actually good at the game
the icing on the cake is the notion that smoking and drinking are inherently anti-nerd culture. Between that and the treatment of the greens its really obvious it was made by the kind of asshole who latches onto any excuse to look down on other people then wonders why they aren't the most popular and influential person in their groups.
I've played DnD campaigns with groups made of nerds, casuals, girls, and a token chad, and while there was horsing around and drinking, when the DM said 'lets get back on track' we did, because we all liked and respected the guy

Actually a legit answer. Because logically it doesn't make sense that their aren't girls out there with comic interests one would usually would associate with men, but in observation all you see is the harley - deadpool meme superficial fans or indie fags.

>>89032429
Not really but Creds a nebulous term. It only matters when you talk to someone about shit. Last time I talked to anyone about comics it felt like i was going to talk about shit no one else knew so I just changed the topic to something less awkward.

The only time comics are annoying is when they either know nothing about the subject so you'd literally be explaining everything. Or they think they know everything about something so you have to correct them every time.

>>89032479
>or indie fags
So what happens then? You meet a qt, she reads non-cape comics, you don't, she laughs and calls you a casual, so you run back to 4chan to cry about it?

>>89032383
That's okay, I'd say no to a hot girl that wanted to read indie shit. I love comics for the decades of mythology, and their enduring symbols of morality and preceverence of good. Your high brow art forme isn't gonna inspire a child to never back down from their dreams like comics did for me.

This kind of superiority complex is all kinds of stupid to me. But you're right, I don't have a shred of respect for an art form as some esoteric bullshit. What I care about is story, character, imagination, all things Jack Kirby was a master of.

>>89032694
The only way to end the Marvel/DC console wars on /co/ is to shift /co/'s perception of comics from a two-publisher game to an unlimited-publisher game. The more publishers someone reads from, the better. The fewer publishers someone reads from, the more they deserve to be laughed at and ostracized.

>>89032714
Okay, just please don't tell people that you love comics.

Saying that you love something which you actually don't is one of the top signs for a Fake Nerd Boy.

>>89032727

The trouble is, any type of, even valid, criticism is immediately perceived as companywars bait.

>>89032790
Oh great anon please inform what comics apparently is that I am missing. What is this grand mystery called "comic" that I apparently don't love. Comics is nothing more than a style of storytelling with drawings and dialog.

>>89032875
You can only say you love comics if you love every single "comic book" ever made. If you dislike anything, anything at all, it means you're a poser.

>>89032808
That is because of /co/'s perception of comics in which there are only two publishers. If there are only two publshers then anything which impacts one publisher negatively is automatically seen as originating from the other publisher. But if /co/ acknowledges comics as an intersection of unlimited publishers then no one can say where a criticism is coming from, and the criticism is free to exist on its own.

Remove the two-company perception and you can remove the "companywars bait" paradigm.

To save /co/, we must downplay the role of Marvel and DC in all our conversations from now on.

>>89032875
>>89032885
If you're not interested in comics outside of one genre, then you're a fan of that genre, not the medium.

I'm sorry if your feelings get hurt by this, but let's be honest with ourselves and call a spade a spade.

I love reading stories told through images and words (comics) my preferred genre is superheroes. Not loving the types of stories Daniel Clowns writes doesn't mean I don't love comics, it's the indie genre I don't love.

Indie isn't a genre. Not only do you not love comics, you have demonstrated that you don't even understand them.

>>89033006
And yet for all your deep insight you still have not defined what it is about comics I apparently don't appreciate.

>>89032993

If you don't like Daniel Clowns type stuff it means you dislike one specific type of thing that just falls under the indie comics umbrella.

>>89033029
Calling yourself a comic fan when you only like Capeshit is like calling yourself a TV fan and only liking Family Feud.

>>89033029
Superhero comics are a tiny minority of the medium. Since you're uninterested in the vast majority of comics, it's safe to say that you don't appreciate the medium. I don't know why you're playing this game or what your goals are, but I suppose that I'm incapable of stopping you if you want to keep telling people that you love comics even though you don't, so I might as well stop trying.

>>89033042

>>89033089
The superhero genre is anything but a tiny part of the "medium" I'm pretty sure the total some of superhero comics pushed is greater than every other genre combined. My point is your argument can be pointed right back at you, if you don't line superheroes how can you appreciate comics, how can you miss this massive genre? Not once have I argued you aren't a fan of comics for having different taste in what you read from me. Yet apparently the only people who can love comics are those that don't have a preference of genre.

>The superhero genre is anything but a tiny part of the "medium" I'm pretty sure the total some of superhero comics pushed is greater than every other genre combined.
For a tiny moment, let's restrict this conversation to mainstream monthly comic books. Historically, superhero comics were a minority until the sixties. You have the sixties, seventies, eighties and nineties with superheroes as a majority, but before that period and after that period, most comics coming out were/are non-superhero. Go turn the pages of a Previews sometime. Even though superhero comics get the most sales, they aren't most of what's available.

Let's expand the conversation and get out of the mainstream. You know those comic books that aren't distributed by the direct market? The underground? The small press comics and the self-published comics? Let me tell you, 99% of those comics aren't superhero comics. They fell off a bit after the seventies, but rest assured, they're back nowadays and they're coming out all the time.

Let's expand the conversation again. Comics don't only come out in comic books. Comics also come out as strips. Magazine comics. Newspaper comics. Webcomics. You bet your bippy most of them aren't about superheroes. Moving on.

Let's expand the conversation once more. OOPS, we've only been talking about America until now. Did you forget that America is only one country out of many? In the rest of the world, people make comics as well, and most of the time they aren't about superheroes. In fact, though it might cause you pain to admit this, manga is comics too.

The vast majority of comics are non-superhero comics. The superhero genre is a tiny part of the medium, and to think otherwise indicates that you don't understand comics.

I'd argue that in the 40's there was just as much superhero as crime/horror/Sci fi/funny animal. There are tons of superhero books that have fallen into obscurity from that era. I am well aware however that heroes took a backseat in the 50's. Since you want to expand the focal point to manga, I'd strongly argue that the majority of Shonen should count as superhero.

And everything non-superhero is obscure to you. You are not the expert that you think you are.

My focal point isn't manga, I'm saying that Asian comics are just as valid as American comics or European comics or any other continent (except Antarctica, which produces nothing). Add up _all_ the different types of comics together, and no matter what you want to "argue" that something "should count" as, cape comics are fucking DWARFED.

But alas, you will continue to tell people that you appreciate the entire medium, despite the fact that you refuse to read anything outside a tiny niche, and nothing I can ever tell you will convince you to reconsider your ways.

Are you perhaps unfamiliar with what the "E" in "STEM" is for, anon?

>>89034028

Its not bait. A lot of people here don't get out much and spend too much time on internet communities, so their view of the world gets fucked.

Probably both, but that shitty comic is the only image comic popular enough to be carried by my LCS. Nobody knew what the fuck Autumnlands was. Hurts my heart man

So you have to like every genre of movie to say that you like movies? Autism.

I'd rather date a Fujo and brace the constant sexual harassment they dish out than deal with somebody liking capeshit.

Sounds like you've got a fetish. Superhero comics are the greatest form of media. Why would you read anything else?

The problem is that every time I see another company's "best" I get disappointed. There's a huge backlog of extremely high quality DC and Marvel comics, why should I settle for some other no name trash comic just to get validation from anonymous posters on an anime message board? It's just a waste of time.

Here's the thing though: there WERE other companies that had really good comics, but they got bought by one of the big 2 already, so now they're counted under them. Charlton Comics for example is really good, and Captain Marvel is really good, but they're under DC now.

Company wars make sense over on /v/ where most people grew up only able to afford one console and so became irrationally attached and "loyal" to it.

It doesn't transfer as well over to comics where most people grew up reading both and have attachments to characters from each of the big two. This suggests it's the late-comers, the /v/ and /tv/ shitheads who got into comics as a result of the movie franchises (which is 90% of what they argue over anyway) who are into company wars nonsense.

>there are people on /co/ who read non-superhero comics as a child, but refuse to read any as an adult
>there are people on /co/ who do read non-superhero comics as adults, but only the same ones that they read as children, and they refuse to try any new ones as adults
Way to go backwards.

Those people are approaching the majority of /co/mrades now.

You won't convince them to change their ways by insisting that they can appreciate both of the Big Two equally.

You can only convince them to change their ways by making the Big Two irrelevant in your conversations, forcing them to venture away from the movies in order to participate in your discussions.
