So at my local comic book the back issues are selling so fast and the section is so crowded that they started to put a time limit on how long you can be there. I was reading an article talking about the rise in popularity with back issues and it reminded of an article last year about the rise of classic tv channels.
Shouldn’t that be a sign to modern day entertainment companies?
I’m 40 and have been buying Spider-Man and Superman (my favorite characters) all my life but not enjoying the newer stuff anymore. I’m thinking of just buying older stuff with Marvel/DC and buying Manga or independent companies like alterna.
The good news is there are so many classic marvel and DC comics. I’ve recently bought a bunch of old Conan and Avengers comics for instance. Also great Dark Horse Star Wars Old EU stuff.
But do you think entertainment companies see the popularity in older stuff?
All the major media companies know what they are making is hated and don't give a shit because they are at the front of the line for the money printer. Disney is getting massive bailouts while firing everyone. The Fed obviously isn't buying jobs from them, so what are they buying?
IF, and only IF, Disney EVER feels monitarily threatened, they'll change course. But that's a long way away. Kodak famously snuffed out digital cameras because why bother, and changed their ways only when on the block, Blockbuster laughed at mail ins and openly bragged about their late fees being only somewhat unfair, until the wallet got tight.
No.
Western comics are terminally retarded.
I remember Marvel """""" saying"""""" they're stopping the woke train twice, only to publish Fat Starfire Author Self-Insert and LGBT Captainette America.
Anything against the Cathedral is wayycism, bad faith, huwitey, muh soggy knee etc.
Blackmailed out of doing it?
Obviously, they lied.
The only people that work in Marvel and DC are Tumblr. Look at the soyart they produce. Pathetic.
The comic companies know their days are numbered.
I mean, DC just announced a Batman in Fortnite comic. If that doesn't tell you they're chasing trends out of desperation, what would? And I say this as a fan of Fortnite.
Still makes more sense than Vader in Soul Calibur.
The canon explanation is that being brought through the Zero Point affects the character's memory, therefore Batman forgets he can't use guns.
Yes. That's really their idea.

There's just no words. You win, Epic, my mind is officially gone.
They had to find a way to explain why Street Fighter characters were firing AKs at Xenomorphs and bananas with human expressions.
They did it better in Justice League. They're dealing with Anansi, who has the ability to change how the threads of fate are woven. He tries to break up the team by changing their pasts in a way that they never team up.
For Batman, he makes just a small tweak. The night young Bruce is supposed to see Zorro, Anansi makes the show sell out. Instead, he sees The Searchers starring John Wayne. When his parents are murdered, he decides becomes a gun-slinging vigilante rather.
DC is literally run by interns. At&t chopped the heads off of everyone in management and every senior writer, artist, and editor. The people in charge of DC now were fetching coffee a year ago.
A lot of these companies are so bloated with cash, they can afford to explore SJW avenues for revenue. Not to say it will pan out in the end, but shareholders are willing to indulge their attempts. Worst case scenario is trannies buy more comics than staight white kids (or straight white kids by tranny comics).
Do they? CEOs always have excuses for why their shit doesn't sell: waycism, huwite supremacy, wuflu, etc. Never SJW dogma. Of course, low-information shareholders and their complicit agents just take what they say at face value.
Shareholders are like mushrooms: Kept in the dark and fed bullshit.
I would not be too shocked if a significant chunk of marvels comic book sales are propped up by reprints of collections of older stuff and obviously their movies.
Ideology over money for these stupid fucks, they WANT to destroy every entertainment medium for their ideology. Then whine about being laid off or having the company shuttered for the victim and patreon bux simps and other ideologues who are employed give them.
Those in charge do not care about profits or creating products for a large audience. This is what they blame for getting them in this horrifying situation in the first place, a heteronormative, uninclusive and some other buzz words that I'm to tired to remember.
They consider it a sacrifice to the greater good of sorts.
these companies are all pozzed. the money doesn't matter.
