Marvel and DC are perpetually pumping out low quality comic books.

When did anybody say that was casual? Knowing from experience what writers to trust is the definition of not casual.

Also of course you're not gonna be a hardcore fan if you don't read everything. That's what the point of the term hardcore is, you read EVERYTHING because you are that dedicated. This isn't /v/, there's a lot of room between "casual" and "hardcore", you're not just one or the other.

No one ever said that.

>>91601926
OP are you imagining arguments that were never there?

>>91601926
It's only casual if you're reading comics different from me

Investment of time and money. If you just pick and choose you're not really interested in the medium as opposed to someone buying 20 books a week regardless of subjective quality.

That sounds retarded as fuck.

It's like watching a show with a story but skipping the bad episodes.

>>91601926
They waste their lives so they want you to waste yours as well. It's pretty simple.

>tfw you only buy 5 books a week

If a show had as many bad episodes as comics (where 90% of it is shit) no one would watch it.

That's fucking idiotic. If I don't watch epic/disaster/date movie that doesn't mean I'm not interested in film.

I don't consider myself a hardcore fan or anything, I just grew up on DC stuff and have a interesting in following certain heroes and keeping up with the goings on of the verse.

A person who reads mostly Marvel/DC is a person who is not really interested in the medium.

I'm not saying anybody should stop reading them, but they shouldn't be the majority of your reading if you want to use your limited time and energy to explore the entire medium.
