How in the world can we save the comic book industry? As much as you want to trick yourself into believe that it's doing "ok" we all know that it's not and it's slowly dying. So how do we do save it?Serious discussion only.
>>150140650He didn't say that
>>150140650>How in the world can we save the comic book industry?What for?
>>150140707It's probably being translated.
>>150140707He did say that.And then he raped a human.>>150140734This.Only way to save it is to kill Marvel, DC, all of them.Hang Em All-Carpenter Brut
>>150140707>>150140758>>150140822Stop.
>>150140650It's 30 years too late to save the comic book industry.
>>150140854If the movie industry can last this long so can comic books..
>>150140650Comic industry needs a hard reset. Ig things need to change it has to imploded first. Too many mofos in the industry are poisoning comic books and its become unrecognizable.
>>150140650You can’t fix it.If something is going to save the comic book industry it will come unexpectedly, out of nowhere. That’s what happened with D&D. It was dying a slow lingering death and then suddenly, it wasn’t.
Kill Diamond and all the capeshit publishers. European and Asian comics are thriving. Capeshit killed comics as a medium in the US and Diamond killed the retail market with their bullshit monopoly.
>>150140650Kill the current output, then start over with good stuff. Spend a lot of money on production and advertising.>>150140867Movies are generally much, much higher quality and involve a lot more money.
>>150140847Not the same anon
>>150141297You can chain reply without assuming they're the same people posting
>>150141185Fucking this. So much this.
>>150140707He, or SHE.>>150140758This, most likely.
>>150140650What do people say about this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSBUX6GPsA
>>150140650Let the big two and their capeshits die and nothing of value will be lost.>>150140867The movie industry is younger than the comic industry, especially outside America.
>>150140650Kill Diamond, put comics on the racks again.
>>150140847HAMMERTIME!
>>150142174Sigh. Lord help me.
>>150142009Fag
>Being Born Slow and Retarded Get with a finless chad.
>>150142262Slick!
>>150141185>>150141852Diamond is already dead, and hasn't touched the big two in over three years
Tell stories people want to read, make them as cheap and as available as possible. The entire industry would do better to try to find and adopt a totally new system of monetization.
>>150140650Look at the manga industry. And I don’t mean that as in copy manga or the shit in them but look at the standard and practices that allow it to run the way it does. How do artist and editors work together? How do publishers keep things going, handle affairs, and general quality control?
>>150144532>make them as cheap and as available as possibleAren't the comic book pages becoming more expensive right now?
Save?HahaYou can't revive what's already DEAD.Game over./co/cksuckers/a/ won.The /a/nime won.The M/a/nga won.Asia won.
>>150145428Nobody cares about your gayass minstrel shows
>>150140650You need a major culture shift away from robotic plug in shit back to human scale media. Until people reject their increasing cybernetic reality, shit will just continue getting worse in every way.
>>150145514This is just sad. Over a decade ago I really thought the superhero film genre would actually assist with comic book sales but it really doesn't seem that way now. Most casual movie-goers just want to watch the film and fuck all.
>>150140650Reset every established cape canon with fake manga kino- absolute universe is proof comic readers want something new and fresh, keep the classics batman and Superman stories in the film
>>150145459"nobody cares about your gayass minstrel shows"FalseAll the new generations love everything that comes from AsiaThey're always waiting for the next animeeven the women (like The Apothecary Diaries)All the new west*id artists with talent and new ideas are learning the anime /a/rt style, meaning J/a/panese, not western garbage like tartakovsky or kricfalusi
>>150146103Kys troon
>>150146103Lmao, keep coping thirdie
>>150146214>>150146117Seethe & /co/peHahaha
>>150140650They need better and more appealing story-telling that attracts non-boomer or Gen-Xer capeshitters. They need characters people actually give a shit about.There also needs to be a bit of a glow-up in terms of overall art quality or draftsmanship.
>>150146264Cope, Genndy is more important than your weebshit
>>150140650
>>150146299BASED BASED BASED!!!
1. Tell better stories with better art.2. Get costs down. Print on cheaper paper if needed. News print was the norm for years. Bring back ads. 3. Revive the newsstand. The direct market is a dead end for future revenue. 4. Fire all your editors and get ones who aren't retarded.
>>150146357>Fire all your editors and get ones who aren't retardedThis is the big one desu. Most editors are sufferfags with a cuckoldery fetish.
>>150146357>1. Tell better stories with better art.Fucking this. Marvel should have pushed for Snowflake and Safespace.
Is this a stealth east vs west thread?Anyway you solve comics by1) having a market (good luck, it's been a decline since the 1960s)2) fire anyone who makes it political, you're making a mass appeal product, not propaganda for quite frankly a tiny twitter audience who is more interested in anime than comics
>>150146846It's just one schizo
>>150146846>you're making a mass appeal product, not propagandaHehe, yeah, they don’t give a shit.
>>150145319Find cheaper material or print less. This is also an ancient complaint for comic pages, fuck off with glossy print. The switch from glossy to matte is a total waste of money playing at being a higher quality product but nobody cares, if anything matte is preferable because glossy feels like shit. But back to my original point.....PRINT IS DYING, YOU HAVE THE INTERNET AT YOUR DISPOSAL. If you're so dead set on having comics be a luxury item then make it so there's high quality and priced volume collections as a priority while everything else is released for far cheaper if not free elsewhere.
>>150147956>The switch from glossy to matte is a total waste of money playing at being a higher quality product but nobody cares,I agree with you on this idea.. But damn comic book nerds will be fucking pissed.
>>150149419Will they though? I'm sure maybe a few but do majority of comic nerds prefer the glossy magazine print? Like you don't even need to go super cheap newsprint. I've had decent quality matte print books.
>>150146299RIP to a real one.He'll be missed.
>>150146299So I guess they never listened to him then.
>>150140822Come on dude. Belugas are bros; we aren't into rape.
>>150146299Unironically this.
>>150140650better writers........MUCH better writers
>>150146299x-men needs to be rebooted to at least before bendis
>>150146103Once Steel Ball Run comes out everyone's going back
>>150150780That's what they said about Dungeon Meshi.
>>150146299LITERALLY 1984
>>150146846Mass appeal is cringe and part of the problem
>>150142009>Let the big two and their capeshits die and nothing of value will be lostAll the indietards preach this without realizing capes are the backbone and gateway drug to the medium in America. You kill capes, you kill the medium as a whole. In anycase the medium is in its death throes already. Total indie nigger death.
>>150140650There's not much to "save" at this point. The most likely outcome will be the further compaction and consolidation of the ""industry"". We're arguably 5 years away from Kirkman and Skybound owning everything there is to own in terms of comic output. Circa 2030 you will get the latest big two capeshitter, tmnt, transformers, etc titles from skybound.
>>150146299Rest in power king
>>150145561the absolute and ultimate titles are riding on a high of gay manufactured hype
>>150145539Lol everybody squandered that opportunity. We came out the other end for the worse.>>150142066Diamond is already dead in all but name.
>>150151499>You kill capes, you kill the medium in America> the gateway drug to the medium in America Comics for actual children will be just fine in America and the rest of the world will be the same.
>>150140650>it's slowly dyingIt died years ago.
>>150151647>comics for children>look inside>its all capeshit and fart jokes
>>150151776>look insideEither you didn't or you're to blame for picking and buying shit books to your kids.
>>150151486Wrong
