There was a guy who has run a comic book store in Massachusetts for 30 years and he ripped into the industry and complained about how dc and marvel comics weren’t selling and said to quit it with the self inserts. Of course the marvel and dc writers attacked him and the lady that bullied Dan Didio into hiring more women at dc attacked him and EVS responded and said feminists have ruined comics and the good female writers are good because they understand that comic books are a male audience

Well yeah, they haven't put out a good product since I was a teenager. The now flaccid marvel films were the only thing holding up the IP and they're out of gas. B
The MCU was an unprecedented opportunity, and they didn't just squander that opportunity, they went out of their way to smother it. Hundreds of millions of people were watching those movies, but Disney only saw a host that might die slower when they injected it with the same leftist poison that ruined the comics.
I remember hearing stories at the height of the MCU of kids wanting something like an Iron Man comic and seeing RiRi Williams since this was all new all different. Nerdrotic keeps saying how dumb it was to skip over years of great storytelling to adapt all new all different that bombed
Look at the avengers video game. It came out eight years after the first avengers film, didn’t use the MCU characters, and sucked. Disney had the biggest cinema franchise of all time and completely failed to capitalize on it. They made billions, sure, but they could have made billions more with proper comics and games development.
That was the one where Kamala Kahn featured prominently right? I don’t get the obsession with her. The comics books have been cancelled over and over. It’s like they refuse to accept that teenage girls don’t buy comic books in large numbers
Yea I just buy back issues for marvel and dc. Currently reading some 80s Silver Surfer. Also got in Alphacore from Rippaverse
I've been reading Arkhaven's growing collection. They have a pretty good selection of genres and styles.
Aside from comics, their books have been good so far too. The missionaries may well be the funniest and least pc thing I’ve read.
I recently learned about them. Bookmarked the site to get stuff later
But are they people, really?
I haven’t read his stuff in a while but I remember when I first heard the controversy about him I looked him up and didn’t understand why people hate him so much
