I am so fucking happy that the comic book industry is dying. After years of ignoring their long time fans in favor of pandering to SJWs they finally get what they deserve.
I am so fucking happy that the comic book industry is dying...
Kill yourself faggot you don't own a single floppy.
The industry will be hurt but there'll still be graphic novels and indie publishers. If this hurts the big 2 enough that their dominance is significantly diminished it might even give graphic novels more breathing space and give the medium more respect among the general public.
>t. Faggot who's writing a "graphic novel" for his kickstarter thinks he'll get into stores
Big 2 have enough material that book stores never need to look to you clowns.
Fuck you man, I own a lot of pre-SJW Marvel and DC stuff. You could not make something like Steve Gerber's Howard the Duck these days.
>ignoring long term fans in favor of pandering to SJWs
They pander to you too. Your problem is that they don't pander exclusively to you.
>pandering to SJWs
Do you believe all not white straight man who is a main protagonists in a book is as as SJW pandering?
There are just too many lesbian characters in books or female characters that constantly have to face sexism. And don't get me started on shit like Harley Quinn's stupid "Petgate" issue.
>Big 2
I hope these two fucking die already.
Yeah this, I’m betting they don’t follow indie at all, although there’s indies full of just cheesecake and action like they claim they want
Fuck you I like superheroes. But Boundless Press does do some good porn comics I guess.
YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK YOU!
THE ONLY REASON COMIC BOOKS STARTED TO PANDER TO SJW'S IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE NORMAL PEOPLE WETE BUYING COMICS LESS AND LESS BECAUSE OF HOW NICHE THEY ARE.
There’s indie capeshit too
Red Sonja might as well be capeshit
Imagine being this pitiful to not realize this is temporary since this corona outbreak is still going on. Stop being so pathetic since they don' make 90's era books with straight white males with dumb illiterate writing
>Steve Gerber's Howard the Duck
Those books were awful. You have terrible taste
Big 2 represent less than 20% of comics sold in book stores, champ.
You already posted that 2 days ago,faggot.Rule of thumb,when the exact same post is spammed on this hellsite,that mean nobody really believe its content
True, and I do hope they never recover.
American comics are absolute abhorrently bad and in need of final death.
>not liking yuri
sure thing fag
They just need to make more shit like Absolute Carnage and hire decent artists. Drop the magic lesbian Illegal immigrants and focus on the action. Also hire writers that don’t have Twitter accounts who thus won’t be tempted to pick fights with customers and YouTubers who will skull fuck their rep.
>lesbian Illegal immigrants
Exactly how many are there? And name names.
Isn’t America Chavez getting her 5th reboot after never completing a run.
To remaind you: everything you like will die, and the big two will stand because they are merch jugernauts. And they will keep doing the same because it works, this only killed the physical market.
>Isn’t America Chavez getting her 5th reboot after never completing a run.
I jest look at Internet page.She a U.S. citizen.
2nd, and her previous run was complete.
>her previous run was complete
-ly shit
Why bother with comics if we have hundreds of thousands of manga, manwa and webtoons?
>Let's just regurtitate the same super hero for 70 years, so amazing
>Sjw
>Somehow are less fans than "real" fans
Ok
Oh no, more diverse characters I can't specifically relate to! Did it ever occur to you that how you are feeling now about those characters is exactly how marginalized groups feel when every comic is featuring a straight white male?
Real fans buy the comic.
Valiant continually have flagship titles that are exactly what the people complaining about politics in comics want but they write the publisher off as a whole because of Faith. Y'all just want to complain to complain.
>Fandom is what I gatekeep it to be
Ok
But everything has to be about me me me
There’s not a lot of comic books with sjw stuff, and those books get canceled anyway.
Shit, the flagship books at DC aren’t SJW at all. The black label stuff isn’t sjw either. It just seems like you’re a faggot.
>there’s a gay character in this book
>waaahhh muh sjw are ruining my funny books wahhhh
Sure glad they sabotaged their online shit by charging the same as a physical copy.
That's besides the argument.
user, the post you replied to was talking about GNs and indies, not infinite superhero floppies.
lolno. If that were true the industry wouldn't have been on the brink of collapse BEFORE the SJWs attacked.
At this point I honestly agree. They had every opportunity, but what did they expect when they ignored a portion of society that was literally keeping their industry afloat for diversity hires.
lol Look whos gatekeeping now faggot
Pathetic. Isnt there like 6 Steven universe threads you could be seething in?
>Oh no, more diverse characters I can't specifically relate to! Did it ever occur to you that how you are feeling now about those characters is exactly how marginalized groups feel when every comic is featuring a straight white male?
Did it ever occur to you that this industry is PRIMARILY kept alive in a country of a majority of straight white men? That they have been the only thing keeping the industry alive? And that this childish drive for equity in everything that they dont fucking deserve is what killed it
Mange?
100% agree. Capeshit assassinated all the other comics during the last great moral panic and now they're committing suicide in this one.
They deserve every last inch of it and hopefully we'll go back to having a decent variety in the comic industry after this.
I just want my The Shadow pulps again.
I don't even blame SJW's. I blame endlessly pointless issues that solely exist to hype up future events.
Because somebody's not a majority in a country it means it's bad to give them anything title hero?
Fuck, the tumblr fags really have infested Yas Forums. Go back
Comic sales have been going up though and everything closing down is completely unrelated to comic sales.
M8, comics were selling less than now a decade ago. I don't get why you keep hammering that narrative when it's demonstrably wrong.
>a country of a majority of straight white men
Don't straight white males represent something like 21% of the American population?
It was true. the small number of constant fans were the only thing keeping this industry on life support.
They shifted their demo to people they thought had WAY more disposable income
Both
>Women
>And non adult women
These groups make up a ridiculously large amount of the buying power in the us. Why do you think every company decides to pander to feminist garbage, because they actually believe that garbage? The long march through the institutions is not that deep into these capitalist structures.
They though they HAD the white mans dollar forever, and that if they pandered to young women/ women in aressted development (since there are SOOO many more now), they could make WAY more money.
What they didnt account for is that women are fickle, dont give a shit that they were pandered too outside of number one issues, and did not really give a shit about comics to begin with. Trannies obviously dont count, they are mentally ill enough to be pay pigs for whatever makes them feel validated but are so small but loud.
So women dont care, and men were playing into their hands for a couple years.
I think it was a mix between waiting for it to blow over/loyalty. But once they infected almost EVERY piece of media, from star wars to star trek, to dnd, hell even parts of 40k, most just let it go.
Thank god this industry is fucking dead
THIS, SO MUCH THIS, either you BUY or READ comic books either way you are NOT a real fan and you WILL NEVER BE.
The problem with chipping away at tent poles is that the tent falls when it rains.
Go look up the pink tax. It's more expensive being a woman.
the comics industry are the biggest bitches in all of entertainment
fucking censors came in 1950 for the comics books, and they licked the censor boots
it stopped selling and they said fuck you to the censors
fucking religious people came for the comics books, and they licked the religious people boots
it stopped selling and they said fuck you to the religious people
then soccer mons came for comic books in the 90s and the industry licked soccer mom's boots
it stoped selling and they said fuck you to soccer moms
now SJW came after comic boots, guess what
the industry is licking sjw boots
and guess what
IS NOT SELLING AGAIN
i hope it fucking dies this time
There is variety, you're just not willing to read it because it's not published by the big 2.
There was a Shadow comic back in 2015 but it didn't last long presumably due to poor sales.
Look at the not-gay white Males hero in the MCU.
Comics make more money now than then though.
So clearly either the vast majority of people who claim they dropped the Big 2 because they weren't being pandered to had already jumped ship before, or they're vastly overstating how representative they are among buying fans.
>IS NOT SELLING AGAIN
But it is.
>singular they
Fuck off tourist, you're not welcome here.
>mange
So I've always wondered, do you just not know the arguments against the idea of the Pink Tax, or do you think its all lies?
I've always just wondered about the average mindset of the pink tax believer.
Does that graph count for inflation?
I'm honestly sick and tired of smoothbrained weebs like you assuming that every comic is cookie cutter capeshit.
Like, we get it, you guys have a hard-on for Asians. You don't need to be autists about it.
No, but if you think there was anywhere near 37% inflation in that 7 year span you're really fucking dumb. It's 9.42% for the record.

To be fair, some of the non-capeshit is even arguable worse than the capeshit.
>I disagree with what some writers and artists have done so I want to kill off an entire industry
People like you need to be done away with. I bet you don't even know what SWJ means anymore and is just repeating an edgy line that you heard. What are you really after? Even the anons that don't agree with the direction of the comic book industry as a whole never sound this stupid.
>with dumb illiterate writing
You mean like Gabby? Deconnick? Willow? BKV? Or any of the other modern age retards that spews tumblr buzzwords everywhere and think it qualifies as quality writing?
I'm omitting Bendis on purpose. He may be a shitty writer, but at least he's not spewing any of that made up nonsense tumblr is so fond of.
It'll be a cold day in hell before I complain about girls kissing girls
The whole point of a tent pole is to keep the whole fucking thing from collapsing. Without the pole everything comes apart!
Crossed is kino
Ah yes, corona happened because of "sjws"
