So if you want to talk about problems with Comics and Manga come here. Not everything fits in the DC, Marvel, or general Manga thread.
Is it any wonder comics are in trouble when this is news worthy?
I mean does anyone under 40 know who she is and all she did was host a show where they played old B movies, did anyone care if she was a lesbian or not?
I love Elvira but can't say that sounds very interesting.
Is there any non-capeshit that is actually good and not pretentious hipster garbage, or is that just what I gravitate to? I like MM&O, everything else has been a hate-read.

I recall seeing 2 comic collection books at the same time. One was from 1961 (?), and that other from some year in the 2010s. The one from the 2010s had vulgar drawings with crudely-drawn nudity and genitalia, and I think there was bullshit about "gender" in there as well. The 1960s volume had comics about cowboys, Aquaman (?), Millie the Model, and I think something about some outer space adventure. Drawing looked good. And of course there was no "identity politics" bullshit. The difference there was night and day.
Is Scooby Doo something kids today watch or is it something kept around for boomers?
The fact that a nearly bankrupt indestry is spending what little money it has left on something like this instead of something designed to compete with Manga is why every comic book shop in my area is out of business when back in the 80s and 90s there were six comic book shops wthin a half hour drive of where I live and they were all busy.

It doesn't help that the industry is filled with inept retards. DC managed to burn away any hype with the new Absolute line. Does anyone even care about Marvel anymore and can both of the big two stop their capeshit obsession? The other three have other genres to peruse.

Every time they do something I like they reboot it. I got back into comics with Superman Rebirth and bought pretty much everything to do with that line that wasn't written by Tom King and the last comic book store in my area was packed on new comic day, then DC rebooted everything to please retards like King and Bendis and I decided I was done giving them chances.
i used to dislike the general corniness of the image era but i've come to appreciate their raw sincerity given the current state of things. say what you will about someone like Rob Liefeld as an artist and writer, but his sheer and unashamed love for the craft is evident on every page. I got a nice pile of comics a few weeks ago from a coworker who was involved with the free comic book day. mostly dc, but there was a decent amount of indie stuff which excited me at first, but a lot of it was just gratuitous violence/nudity.
i'm not really into manga, the only ones I've read are houseki no kuni, yotsuba, and azumanga daioh. but if those are anything to judge by, it's no surprise that a single book can outsell the entire american comics industry, even if I personally consider manga to be slop for retards.

Yeah, when it come to comics, movies, anything give me something "bad" made by someone who cares over something stupid made by someone who doesn't even like the medium.
Spider-Girl doesn't have the best art or most complex stories but it is one of my favorite comics because it is clear everyone working on it was doing so out of love.
Garfield is stale. The characters have housefly or dragonfly eyes. Also, them using "smartphones" and "social media" feels off. Even just them using the internets feels off.

I just want to know how what was once the most common, mass-produced form of entertainment for decades in comic books eventually became eight-to-ten bucks a pop and you have to drive a while to some specialty shop in the middle of bumfuck for.
Yeah, I loved watching that on Saturday mornings, and then rerun on Boomerang got my brother(who is 13 years younger than me)hooked on it as a kid. He still quotes the show.
It still has a pretty steady fanbase. It is one of those lucky brands that gained fans with every generation. Gen X got the old school material, Millennials got the peak 90s content (Zombie Island, Witches Ghost) and Zoomers got Mystery Incorporated and tons of direct-to-DVD content.

Monopolies and not wanting to take on the burden of returned stock. Comic shops ate the cost of unsold comics, unlike the other models which themselves were trying to drive away comics to prioritize magazines. It was basically a large amount of shitty business practices between multiple parties decades ago and no one wanting to revert back.
Diamond is the big distributor that pushed all comics into the specialty shop to gain more profits. It technically saved the industry, but came at the cost of being able to expand audiences after the speculation boom.

Yeah, I got into comics when I was learning to read because the local food market had a stand of Archie, Star Trek, and Spider-Man comics and they only coat a dollar so even I could afford to buy a couple a week.
Then near the end of the 90s the comic vanished from that store and I had to drive half an hour to get to the comic shops. Now even if the comics were good kids couldn't afford them snd couldn't get anywhere that sells them.
