I feel like comics discussion is fizzling out on /co/.We should all read more comics.
>>150541098I like that we share a board with cartoons but it's not like anime and manga where the relationship between the two is much stronger, the same connection is sorta there with cartoons but not nearly to the same extent. Sometimes I wonder why we share a board
>>150541135because I like both comics and cartoons thats whyAnd I have the final say in the matter
>>150541098It's fizzling because not even comicsfags like todays comics
Comic industry is fucking awful, everyone is reading manga while all the older good comics have been discussed to death.
>>150541098Maybe if comics get a little better we can tryI’m surprised there isn’t more discussion of old stuff though. I guess it’s hard to discuss good stories with characters that are currently being raped without someone inevitably bringing up the raping in terms of “a shame that happened to them” or “this is so much better than the modern stuff”
>>150541098Support your local storytime anons
>>150541215>>150541098/co/ is full of casuals who only want to read universally-acclaimed fan-favorite "top runs" and "essentials"
>>150541231Even storytimers are going to shit. Now you got double or even triple storytimes and some storytimers wasting time on mediocre runs or deviantart comics.
>>150541098Why?. Modern comics are horrible
>>150541398>nooooo you can't filter out the mountains of shit>you can't just enjoy the fraction of a fraction that's tolerable
>>150541521>the mountains of shitexcept quite a few "top runs" and "essentials" are shit so you're just being a mindless lemming
>>150541098I feel like a lot of praise for modern Big Two runs feels forced, like desperate pining for old days. Zdarsky Daredevil, Priest Deathstroke, and Absolute Martian Manhunter look really good though
Sure, post a comic I should read, I'll give it a shot.
>>150541556Sandman Mystery Theatre
I've gotten some great comics off this guy's recommendations. One of my favorites is mat fraction and David ajas run on Hawkeye. It's really good and I even bought the $50 book instead of just reading it on a tablet like usual.
>>150541098I’ve been reading a lot of comics lately:Ditko AsmBatman AdventuresProphetKirby giant monster comics from the 50’s I read the first six Blake and Mortimer adventures back in August
>>150541398Honest question: does anyone here know good places to discuss comics that aren’t just mindlessly consuming new shit? Trying to read comic discussion on any mainstream website slaughters my brain cells on an industrial scale. /co/ at least doesn’t endlessly fellate new shit without some pushback, it’s the absolute bare minimum
>>150541098I read all of Berserk, and started Vagabond. I gave up when I became bored of Simon Hanselmann comics.
>>150541184I like comics, I just have little reason to discuss them with people who do nothing but whine that everything is bad and if you disagree you’re a shill
>>150541650I like Simon Hanselmann's stuff, but damn does the wait suck.Like hell, is Megg's Coven even out yet? I remember talking about that with people here back in like 2018.
>>150541098What we need is more animated adaptions of stories and have that same pipeline that manga and anime have
>>150541605>David ajas run on HawkeyeThat comic is dogshit.
>>150541760I like MM&O too, but I’ve lost track of what’s out and what isn’t. Pic related is my current approach to life.
>>150541646No. /co/ is basically the only good place left unless there's a private discord you know of.>>150541521Just because something doesn't get recommended as THE BEST EVER TOP 100 COMICS OF ALL TIME doesn't mean it's shit. 90s Hourman is good Iron Man: Hypervelocity is goodThe Bedlam arc of Batman & Robin is good(those three above I learned of because of storytimes based on personal opinions of OPs, not curated lists)
>>150541802>No. /co/ is basically the only good place left unlessIs it really? How about all the old school comic forums form the early 00s>but they are deadAnd /co/ isn't?
>>150541512Read older stuff.
>>150541184I got into warhammer miniatures, so comics are a distant third hobby.
>>150541802See, I thought this might be the case, but I figured there was still some ancient forum going from 30+ years ago that people on here might know about…
>>150541135>I like that we share a board with cartoons+Movies+YouTube videos+Twitter coom cartoons+Industry Artists+Indie Artists+Anime (Toonami)
>>150541789This post took longer than I expected. Pic unrelated
I am, I caught up on Beneath The Trees, Absolute Batman, read a few 40s comics, and out of all of them I had nothing major to say. Do you want me to make complaint threads like they do on /a/ or something?
>>150541098>DC makes bad comics>nobody wants to talk about them>Marvel makes bad comics>nobody wants to talk about them>Indies make bad comics>nobody wants to talk about themGee, I wonder why comic discussion is dying out.
>>150541135it was made to keep western shit off of /a/, same with /aco/ keeping western shit off of /h/, or /asp/ to get wrasslin off of /sp/
>>150541895>>150541135Ok, I will say it. /co/ was at its best when making OC, be it about comics, cartoons or anything else. That part of /co/ was more interesting than the comics/cartoons discussions.
>>150541504They're doing this shit on /a/ too. Turned into some parasocial circlejerk where the dumpers developed gay personas and just dump (and re-dump) anything they can think of to sustain their own relevance.
>>150541605he's good; my favorite comic channel is strange brain parts. it's not too often you get a gen x dude reviewing comics that doesn't come off like the biggest manchild.
>>150541913Holy shit that's bad
>>150541913This page belongs in the same category as that one panel in America where female Hawkeye waxes poetic about America flying off with her girlfriend.
>>150541098Comic side of /co/ was hijacked by tourists some years ago. They don't really read comics, the most time they'll give to it is to complain about them. Tourist have surface level knowledge on the Big Two so it's what they'll "talk about" the most, anything else tends to be ignored as being shit and woke because they don't have enough surface level information on them to go beyond that to pretend to know anythingSo anons who do read comics have either left or post sparingly. /co/ isn't the place to talk about comics anymore, go ask a friend or do yourself some digging
>>150541913this is an edit right
>>150541913>>150542006A huge problem is that writers like this are so prominent and have been since the Alonso era. The best writers like Brubaker or Ennis have mostly moved to indies and some of the other best writers like Moore, Miller, and Morrison are either retired or semi retired. Ellis got cancelled, Wood got cancelled, Gaiman got outed as a rapist. DC alienated Azzarello and Rucka. The good writers at the Big Two are subject to the whims of garbage editorial so much of the time that it's a miracle when something like Zdarsky Daredevil gets through
>>150542093We aren't in the era of Chelsea Cain Mockingbird anymore but it's still not great.
>>150542075No.
>>150542161What's it from
>>150542093>Wood got cancelledBrian Wood? I remember reading his Starve comic and it was fun. What happened that cancelled him?
>>150542183Mother of Madness, published by Image.
>>150541740Yeah this is pretty much it for me. You can't have any kind of casual conversation or discussion on this board without shitters rushing in to call anyone who likes anything a shill.
>>150542190He got hit with allegations, the first ones were just him giving another writer his hotel room key, and the person who told that story even said that she was horrified people were taking it as an accusation and that she just thought it was funny. The second one claimed Wood groped her but withdrew her statements when she decided to work on an adaptation of DMZ. Regardless the damage is done.
>>150541907You can talk about specific aspects you like and dislike, things you would change, you can make connections to other stories or media, speculate about future installments, etc. There's plenty of angles to discuss comics constructively.The real challenge is getting others to read so there can be a back and forth.
>>150541740>>150542297These aren't arguments because /tv/ is one of the most hostile off topic boards on the site, and yet you can still have good threads.But you don't have good comic threads on /co/. Nobody discusses anything here, at all. I know far more about what is currently happening regarding television shows I don't watch than ANYTHING that's currently being released in comics.
>>150541098there are only a couple of comics I am keeping track nowadays>usagi yojimbo, which I am buying the physical editions>beneath the tress where nobody sees>absolute batmaneverything else doesn't really interest me.
>>150541913>>150542006i love me some prose but fuck. whenever i see pages like this i just want artists to take full control and kick the writers out. sure they can be just as bad but at least good art keeps you turning the page
>>150542327>I know far more about what is currently happening regarding television shows I don't watch than ANYTHING that's currently being released in comics.I go to my local comic shop every week to get my pull list and I STILL don't know what's coming out sometimes. I picked up all of DC's Black Label Batman series 'The Bat-Man: First Knight', I walked into my comic shop last Saturday and see there's a sequel that's already come out. I saw zero press releases or advertising from DC for it, and I'm the target audience for it. Frankly The Big Two are their own worst enemy when it comes to this.
>>150542394People need to accept that the American comics industry is effectively dead, eaten by large media companies. They'll be passed around like hot potatoes between megacorps who only want to milk them for their IPs, and eventually the comics publishing wings will be closed entirely. The fact is neither Disney nor Warner Brothers really 'needs' a constant production of comic books about Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and so on. They have their IPs, and can easily milk them as needed.
>>150542429I at least feel like DC would still continue publishing graphic novels and longer-form stories as trade paperbacks or hardcovers, I don't have as much confidence in Marvel continuing if the comics side of things is shuttered.
>>150541760>>150541799The last big thing was another wwj anthology I think. I got the horse mania book ages ago and wwj just becomes more and more of an irredeemable id like hard to read. I get that's the point.
meta threads are cancer and against >>>/global/rules/3 >>>/global/rules/8 and >>>/co/rules/1OP is a faggot. Fulfill your civic duty to help purge this board of anarchistic, sociopathic, intellectually regressive youtube/reddit/twitter immigrant subhumans like him who are under the delusion that all of 4chan (instead of just the designated shitposting playpens like /b/, /trash/, /bant/, etc.) is a toilet by reporting this thread en masse.Here's a link so you don't have to scroll up to the top of the page. https://sys.4chan.org/co/imgboard.php?mode=report&no=150541098
>>150541098I'm reading Berserk and some shonen. It's fun. Comics that aren't capeshit always turn out to be pretentious garbage written by garbage human beings.
>>150541098They should make more good comics that warrant discussion.
>>150541605See this is the problem right here. You know damn well that comic is reviled by all but the gayest people on earth.
>>150541512Its assholes like this that kill the discussion. Why are you even here?
>>150542394What kind of advertising could they have even done to reach you? You seem like you live with your head in the sand.
>>150542061>Comic side of /co/ was hijacked by tourists some years ago. They don't really read comics, the most time they'll give to it is to complain about them.Those are all just people who were big comic fans 20+ years ago and are burned out on the endless flood of trash. I know, I'm one of them.If you expect positivity with the current state of comics, YOU are the one who clearly doesn't read comics.
>>150541098What comics have you read recently? Any notable gems or stinkers?The Bea Wolf dump the other day was really good. Insane how the creative team managed to pull that off. It's like if Kids Next Door or Recess was retelling Beowulf.
>>150542651Discuss why he’s wrong.
>>150541098Compared to when? It was always about waifus and picture posting.
>>150542761Link to thread?
>>150541875I did and I ran out. And we've discussed it all to death
>>150542651I got a (you) didn't I?Honestly it was my intent to bait someone into proving me wrong with a recommendation but you and I both know I'm entirely right.
>>150542061>the most time they'll give to it is to complain about themThis is definitionally “discussion”, you just seem to disagree with the tenor of it.
>>150542668>If you expect positivity with the current state of comics, YOU are the one who clearly doesn't read comics.If all you read is capeshit from Marvel and DC, you're your own worst enemy. You're just like your average /tv/ shitter who whines non-stop about how all movies suck when all you watch is Disney Star Wars and capeshit when there's still plenty of indie movies about anything and everything coming out.
>>150541098I find the only people that lament this are those who don’t even care about “discussion” they just want a more receptive user base so they can shill unimpeded. Current writers and editors watching their sales sink, interns mindbroken by being sent here to generate hype and left having to tell their boss it went very poorly.
>>150542823>>150542061>still no list >if you do finally post a list it will likely be full of comics written by big 2 writers
>>150542761>storytimesIn order of increasing quality: Mighty Thor, nUSM, Superman, GL, X-Men, Magik, Battleworld. >non-storytimesThe first Crossed series. I found to be mid. Then I read the first arc of Crossed: Badlands and wondered how they made 200 more issues of this and if I really cared enough to read them (I decided not to)
>>150542823The problem is Marvel and DC are the major publishers, and your alternatives are Indies like >>150541913 or webcomics which barely exist anymore.And yeah, I guess Unsounded and Elf Comic do generate more discussion than anything currently going on with Batman.
>>150542823Name 6 indie movies from 2025 that you’ve watched and where/how you saw them. I just want to laugh at your casual ass definition of “indie” which apparently, for comics and movies, simply means “not made by Warner or Disney”.
>>150542807Bullshit.
>>150542903>>150541875>no list
>>150542806It unfortunately fell off the active board but you can dig it up in the archives.https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/150471074/#150471074https://mega.nz/file/C6gD2aBY#DlA93f_TvA4d28Az0Ybyi8wukc0amNftmaN1aKWGULk
>>150542909What are you talking about?
>>150542946Comics, which apparently you have no interest in talking about.
>>150542486The WWJ books were too much for my weak ass.
>>150542960When did I promise you a list?
>>150541098I am reading a manga and your pic fits pretty well since I am planning on rereading watchmen after that.
>>150542999Im not that anon, one would assume you would tell someone a few “older comics” to read if you want to discuss them. But again, you don’t seem all that interested in discussing comics.
>>150542859>if you do finally post a list it will likely be full of comics written by big 2 writersGottem
>>150543173Foolish assumption. If you want a list of comics to read, you can make a thread about it. This is a discussion about reading comics, not about comics to read. Get it?
>>150542486>and wwj just becomes more and more of an irredeemable id like hard to read.But that's what makes WWJ so great.
>>150541098I didn't realize the first time reading Watchmen that that doom sayer was Rorshach. In hindsight I kind of like that because it reinforces that he's just a guy.
>>150541913Pure cringe women ruin every medium they get their feminist fingers on
>>150541098What makes things is worse is that the cartoon side of the board is pretty unhinged.
>>150543344
>>150543359jerking off to the dog is all well and good but people here actually being invested in these dogshit stories is the real problem
>>150542991>>150543270The duality of man
>>150542624Why should I give a fuck who else likes comics I like?
>>150541098I mean we could probably talk about oldies like Conan the barbarian. But you got t be like an ancient relic to know who that guy is nowadays
>>150543344putting it very lightly, aren’t you
>>150543399I like her show
>>150543567I tried reading through the original Marvel Conan comics, but Barry Windsor Smith's art just doesn't work for me.Buscema & Chan make the characters and backgrounds come alive in a way no one else can.
>>150543785NTA I agree, Buscema is my choice for Conan. It’s not even close.
>>150541098I've been storytiming frequently this year and lastI'll probably end up busier nowadays but I still have a couple of things I want to for the rest of the year (mostly for Spooktober)And then I'll probably retire>>150542761I was honestly disappointed to see it didn't last a full 24 hours on the catalog
>>150544187I had the privilege of reading some black and white versions of Buscema and Chan's Conan and it spoiled me for wanting top notch art in comics.Then I realized the colors they used in those days ruined the art sometimes if the colorist didn't know what he was doing.
>>150541098I've read a lot of comics recently, currently for Halloween I'm doing the batman halloween loeb triology. It's cute.
>>150544311>>150544187I forgot to include an example pic.
>>150541098I've been reading Crossed: Badlands. It's mostly kind of shite, but I'm sick and it requires no brainpower, so it's working for me.The one with the hippy and the biker that calls everyone he kills a faggot cracked me up.
>>150544339That's the American Quitters arc. I would've liked it id they didn't give it a needlessly cruel ending on the very last page. Yes I know, pointless cruelty is the point of Crossed, but for that arc a happy ending for one of the characters (you know which) would've been an acceptable break from convention.
I'm so behind on comics I'm reading stuff from April (DC) and February (Marvel, One World Under Doom buildup). Also been reading the ROM Marvel Epics and they rock
>>150544339The Max Bemis comic shop arc is shit but David Hine's Five Bloody Fingers is great
>>1505410984chan has been dying for years. feels like all that's going to be left soon is schizos and shitposters with zero sincere discussion on any board and just trolls trolling trolls.
>>150544406I'm fully desensitized to the deus ex diabolas by now, so it was pretty "meh whatever" for me.What DID bother me is them coming back to the Livers after the first arc just to fuck their shit up for no reason. Why, man? They should've been left alone.
>>150544328I’m sure you know this but Savage Sword of Conan is all BnW, and it’s mostly Buscema for like the first 80 issues
Why was the OP image deleted
>>150545008I know of it, but never read it. That has to change if your image is what I can expect.B/W comics with clean inks, proper visual storytelling, composition and detail work are a thing of beauty.
>>150545039I like BnW and color, but I get what you’re saying. I just finished Brandon Graham’s Rain Like Hammers and it wouldn’t be the same without colors
>>150541098What happened to the image?
>>150541098I am grateful to the storytimers for alliwing me to do just that.
>>150541135>Sometimes I wonder why we share a boardWhen this site had a much smaller population it made more sense, especially since the two were a lot more intertwined in the mid 00s with a lot of the most popular cartoons being DC (Teen Titans, Justice League, Batman and Superman TAS etc) No reason to split it up at this point- if you think comic discussion is dead now, holy shit, a comic exclusive board would be a total ghost town within two weeks. "threads started 4 months ago still in the catalog" level dead.
>>150546253>a comic exclusive board would be a total ghost townComics would thrive on a slow board. The problem here is that comic threads are constantly bumped off by cartoon spam.
>>150546253>"threads started 4 months ago still in the catalog" level dead.That would be preferable to any comic thread needing to be bumped every 3 hours or be crushed under the weight of cartoons or movie threads.
>>150546253Better a dead board than no board at all, anon. As it is now, cartoons are smothering comics in a way that makes discussion very hard to sustain.
>>150546368>every 3 hoursMore like every hour.
>>150541098You're fizzling out.
>>150546253I would love a comfy dead board like /vr/
>>150546368>>150546448I suppose that's a good point. I take back the "no reason" comment, but still assert that the pace would be glacial- which some might like, I guess. At least it would make storytime threads easier to maintain and keep up with.
Another vote for glacial
It's just a lot easier to read the damn things than try to get some meaningful engagement out of random strangers on the Internet. I'm in no position to judge people for not laying down entire essays, but when threads boil down to two retards spending more time hurling accusations at each other than actually explaining their point of view, it doesn't exactly inspire participation.>All Anon could come up with is "This comic is great/shit." What a midwit. Surely he and everyone else will agree with me if I reply "No, that comic is shit/great.">>150542761I finally read Essex County by Jeff Lemire. For some reason I was expecting it to be a lot denser in terms of dialogue and plot, but it manages to say a lot with very little. I don't think I've gone through 500 pages of comics faster, but I can already tell it's going to stick with me.
>>150542761Make a separate thread for this, since it's a different topic.That's another thing anons need to stop doing is hiding in the busier threads. Comb the catalog for different threads you might be interested in. Part of the reason the comics side holds so little ground is because comic readers are pussies that retreat into /shelf/ or whatever thread, while the cartoon side makes a thread for every fart of a thought that forms in their waterlogged brain. We need to be more aggressive. More balls and more autism. Less infighting and less schizophrenia. Also, bump potentially interesting threads if you see them falling off the catalog.
>>150543745That's the problem. The show's shit. She's barely even in it.
>>150545022watchmen spoilers probably
>>150549195That wasn't a spoiler.
>>150542327>and yet you can still have good threads.By accident, and only because the traffic is much bigger so new threads are constantly being made and occasionally you find one where everyone isn’t just /pol/ posting. Meanwhile modern /co/ is moving at the pace of a snail
>>150549930>the traffic is much bigger/tv/ is losing traffic nowadays just like /co/
>>150542668>People with very narrow and bad taste complain everything they read is terrible Ever considered that the problem is you?
>>150542865There are plenty of good comics being published, you’re just too fucking lazy to go find them because you’ve already decided everything sucks
>>150549972Who could have predicted that when all you do is whine and outrage bait nobody is interested to hang out anymore
>>150549972Well there's hardly anything worth actually talking about as far as new stuff goes.
>>150550116And as we know, you can only talk about new stuff.
It has to be a pretty miserable existence when you claim to be a fan of something yet all you do every day is just endlessly complain how your hobby sucks. It’s not even constructive criticism, it just whining.
>>150550517Yeah, comics, a medium you love, being total garbage does make you miserable.
>>150550682You have to be kinda of a dumb loser to love garbage, anon
>>150550808>be kinda of aholy kek
>>150550808Is that what you tell your parents when asked why they still love you?
>>150550216Less people are gonna go back to read old stuff, yes.
There are decades of cool and unique comics out there, plenty that are overlooked. So much stuff out there that you're never left starving even when the modern industry is shitting its pants /co/ sucks so I rarely feel like sharing them, most of /co/ only reads and watches slop they're already comfortable with.
Reading this thread has further convinced me that I'm right in gatekeeping comics from /co/cksuckersYou either find the good stuff or you don't
>>150541924I fucking hate the weeb faggot mods who hate this place and just use it as a dumping ground Non-/co/ shit like toonami threads, of course this place is filled with people who don't care about the topic

>>150549195Mods rarely take spoilers seriously, especially if it's something old
>>150554919Wrong
I think it's ridiculous that to support a run, you can't just go to a store and buy the new issue, you instead have to go out of your way to preorder it months in advance.Imagine if movies worked like this and only ticket preorders counted for the box office.
>>150541184Most "comicsfags" on /co/ are Diversity & Comics tertiaries.
>>150541521I agree on some level but there's also the fact that it's usually only the best of the best one-offs when in truth a lot of ongoings are great in their own right.
>>150542604Outrage outsells quality.
>>150542761Finally got around to reading the source material for these mothers
>>150543344>comics side>mostly into stories featuring teen and adult characters>cartoon side>mostly into indie youtube stuff and literal toddler showsYeah
>>150557151No, it's just that quality is too expensive to make. Most good comics are still pretty shitty.
>>150548763Agree with you on most points. Think the bigger problem is how our threads are tossed out. Cell animation cartoon threads share the same fate and not for the lack of trying from anons. I take note of how an anon will make a GI Joe RAH thread, for example, but while that and similar threads get the axe, other cartoon threads with less interaction stay up for a week. If anything, the bickering at least bumps the threads. Even if threads are started in obvious bad faith, anons share their well thought out counter arguments, facts, and common sense. Don't care for his art, but Jim needs to bring back Cartoonist Kayfabe. The various comics channels rejuvenized the interest of some former fans during covid.
>>150557281not to mention how many of those literal toddler show threads are made out of lust for the cast
>>150541231Most new comics don't even get storytimed, genuinely no one fucking cares anymore.
I keep coming back to /co/ because on very rare occasion I'll see some genuinely interesting conversation about comics. Conversations that I haven't been able to find elsewhere, despite my best efforts. The issue is that there's so much fucking bloat here. Dogshit about movies, shows, cartoons, YouTube trash, etc. The cartoon faggots are the worst. There's 0 overlap, genuinely none. /co/ isn't seen as a real board, it was seen as a way to isolate shit from /a/. The comic posters get smothered out and leave because their 1/100 thread attempts to have their psued conversations about eurojank books, and their themes about how the author's dad never loved them, are pushed off the board by another furfag who's posting a meme about wanting to fuck the dog from some YouTube trash, or faggot tier rage-bait about how some bitch who voiced a cartoon 15 years ago is a fat feminist. The autism of the cartoon fags is the most agonizing shit I've ever seen. It makes me want to die of second hand embarrassment. You have cunts who're obsessed with toddler shows because they're genuinely, unironically, without exaggeration, too autistic to read into the themes and meaning behind shit made for actual adults. Instead, they latch onto children's shows and claim they're deep because they're subhumanly retarded and lacking in self-awareness. You're mushint that into the same board as a medium that has been allowed some vague semblance of depth and actually has shit made for people old enough to have touched a pair of tits. The fact that they haven't made a dedicated board is baffling. It's not that the NEED or desire for one isn't present. It's that the conversation is smothered to the point where people stop trying.
>>150559671I've noticed that the cartoon side of /co/ has also started branching out to /tv/ since /co/ is such a dead board, and their autism is even starting to seep into /tv/, which has ironically started to kill that board too.Discussing things with low-functioning autists just is not enjoyable, it's like trying to have a conversation with a 9 year old.
>>150541135A sequential art board for idorts that covered comics and manga would be nice in an ideal world but realistically the most basic of the latter would dominate any discussion.
>>150552990>>150553281>>150555655I just started watching Lethal Comics, Andy Belanger's YouTube channel, it's been scratching the CK itch for me, though they usually pick a subject to cover rather than a single book, feels like they'll fly through material too quickly doing it that way.https://youtu.be/hA4_duqSDpg?si=0q1i5DSBHdrMjVLZ
>>150541098Sure, after that we can discuss Vaudeville and our victory gardens lol
>>150559671Based.
>>150561376This isn't a meta thread, retard.
>>150561445I've convinced myself that that faggot is a bot deployed by Jannies as some sort of pre warning when they want to kill a thread but don't have mods around to actually nuke it
>>150541135>>150541184It's fizzling out because "go woke, go broke".
>>150541098because of your feelings? christ asshole buy me dinner first
Give storytime suggestionsNo capeshitNo licenseshitLess than 300 pages per book Blue board apropriateNo promises
>>150561895Planet of The Apes/Green Lantern so you stop being such a fag
Read.
>>150559524Figured that went without saying considering where we are, but yeah. They're creepy and not just in a "we post loli to drive off the normalfags" kind of way.
>>150559671When I saw people here saying a cartoon for 7 year olds had "deep themes" and "dark moments," I suddenly understood how my parents must feel about me still being into video games.
>>150561376What meta thread haters fail to see is all the times people DID try to make a difference, only to see it fail each time. Then you stop in and see complaints and assume that's all we do. >meta threads at their worst are a divide and conquer tactic employed by trolls where they complain about problems that they themselves are directly responsible forActual projection.
>>150563066Shut up. Shut the FUCK up. You don't go to /hyw/ and say "draw." You don't go to /vr/ and say "pirate." And you sure as shit don't come to a comics thread and say "read." That's not what we're about. We are here to complain about the state of the industry as told to us by outrage farm youtubers and to share sexy images of waifus you FAGGOT.
>>150559671Based and true>>150560242You’re not giving 9 year olds enough credit, man. I don’t think the cartoonfags here are any more mature than the target audience of their shows. Can’t be older than 8 years old.
>>150562059>so you stop being such a fagWe need more Anons to read more original comics
>>150563505Says the guy who needs curated recs on what to storytime because he doesn't read.
>>150563471Gotta agree. Kids absolutely understand the ideas that are being put across in MLP, Bluey, and all that shit. It's literally designed for them to understand it. This shit isn't hidden, it's point.The fact that some grown-ass adults are too maladjusted to grasp shit shouldn't be seen as representative of people in general.
>>150563638>curated recsI'm just asking for suggestions from Anons who don't have the time to storytimeThat's all there is to it
>>150559671Cartoon CHADS run this board and it fucking sucks.
>>150564183We should send ten pizzas to the /co/ mods’ houses, every day, until they split the board.
>>150541098How will I remember to read more comics if Cartoonist Kayfabe is no longer around to give the marching orders?
>>150541570Just got the second compendium the day before yesterday, life is good. Wish there was a /shelf/ around to posti t in
>>150564999Just make an SMT thread.
>>150565214It would die with two replies, a pointless endeavor
>>150565254This sort of pussy attitude is why the comics side is in dire straits. Too many people are like you, and not enough of them are like me.I just make threads I think might be cool. I don't give a fuck.
>>150559536Yeah, I don't see many anyone storytime the latest Remender comic.
>>150560242>Discussing things with low-functioning autistshow is that any different from the usual /tv/
>>150565694He sucks now
>>150564945I never got that thing of sending pizzas to someone's house as a prank.Like, please send pizzas to MY HOUSE, I love free pizza.
>>150555819and yet here we are
We CH/a/DS wonThe /a/nime wonThe M/a/nga wonThe Doujinshi scene wonHow bad it feels to be a /co/cksucker/c/ucko/ld like these lil's cucks>>150555565 >>150552981 and >>150542510
>>150566600It’s just a quick way to annoy people, I think. Too much of a good thing, etc.
>>150541098Comics are for 40+ year olds. Most people who post here are under 18 and autistic.
Anime is shit
>>150568197Just eat what you need and sell the extras.No wonder yall are some poor ass mothfuckas.
>>150568281who the fuck buys pre-made pizza secondhand
>>150568300me, problem?
I recently got into comics through skybound transformers.Rn im reading absolute batman, that comic is better than even most manga ive read its so good.
>>150543359>>150543745Cartoonfags don't understand that you can love a character and also think that their shows are trash. Horridus is extremely hot, but Savage Dragon comics suckThat's literally a big problem here. Too many waifufags thinking that dumb shows are worth watching. God just watch some clips and use the boorus, nothing else
>>150568521>is better than even most manga ive read its so goodyou can't fool me comics have never been good at action choreography and absolute batman sounds like it's mostly action
>>150568521Good for you, remember to check any recommendations thread you see>>150568856lol
>>150568764I don't take recommendations seriously on most of 4chan (and the internet in general, honestly) these days because too many of the autists here think "I want to fuck [character]" is the same as "this show is well-made."
>>150568856True, I'm not sure why I like it so much. Pretty sure its the pacing of each chapter being good.
>>150541924I do t think that's true. Else why ban anime here too as a rule? (That animefags won't follow).
>>150568764What's weird to me is waifufags go after anything, no matter how ugly. I feel like it's a very warped mindset in which they believe uglier characters are more "attainable". Extraordinarily pathetic.
>>150541098Cartoonfriend here. You're right. 90% of the comics I read are through storytimes on here (Recently I've been reading the Beneath the Trees sequel series and I am Their Silence) but I have unread comics on my shelf. Today I'll read Maus and report back.
>>150570009Nice
>>150569515>Else why ban anime here too as a rule?As it's already obvious that doesn't really happen (and has never happened in the history of /co/, remember the threads /co/ used to have about Zangya, a dragon ball character, back in the day?)
>>150569863I thought that you were exaggerating but then I remembered that someone was shilling the new show made by the Bojack Horseman fag because he thought that the main female character was sexy. She looks like a pig. In fact, uglier than Miss Piggy
>>150571724Same for the fat wife on that godawful Fox show about the fat midwestern guys on UBI who look like giant thumbs.Something about cartoons just attracts people who have 0 standards when it comes to any aspect of their life these days, so much so that even when it comes to fictional cartoon women their standards are in the dirt.
>>150541184Add to that even fewer people read old comics and the issue only worsens with time. It's like comic cons, how many fans of the sunday funnies did you ever see gather at those sorts of conventions? It doesnt happen. Comics have been surpassed by cartoons, and cartoons were surpassed by manga/anime.
>>150568197You can't ever have too much pizza, I'd fill my fridge with it lol
