If yall aren’t aware there was a recent interview Chuck Dixon did where they were talking about comics and the guy mentioned pandering to a female audience has been one of the things that have ruined comics. Third wave feminism to be exact. Dixon talked about his girls used to read comics like Archie, Little Lulu, romance comics, etc. He then mentioned that his sisters read Green Lantern because they thought Hal Jordan was cute (I can’t judge because I had every cd and now every album of Fiona Apple downloaded because I thought she was beautiful).
Some people took that to mean “see girls read comics” when he was essentially saying that if you make comics that cater to what girls/women like you can sell to them. Manga has proved this along with countless YA novels. For whatever reason Superhero comics and Sci-Fi don’t appeal to women in large numbers but that doesn’t seem to stop the IPs from sunken costs.
I’ve heard that sadly. They are running off the very people they need. Cool about the British Naval Captain! I saw some of that through my small amount of European ancestors but haven’t done a deep dive into those branches yet
Oh that's not the best part. My family line is small and the Soviets almost wiped us out, but we're direct descendants from a Renaissance master.
And yeah, anyone who the military needs right now is avoiding it like the plague, or in my case waiting for civil war with baited breath.
Oh cool! Most interesting thing I got family history wise is an ancestor on the mayflower but there are millions of ppl like that. I do have a large extended family though. What country? The family that was almost wiped out by Soviets.
Oh hey, now there are two of us!
Cool!
Austria but they were ethnically Italian. European borders changed so much in the last two centuries that a lot of villages and towns changed hands from time to time.
True. That is some very interesting history
