how do we get normalfags to buy and read comic books?
>>152179347Make good comics and advertise a lot.
>>152179359we tried that. what else
>>152179370go indie and then have a club they can't get in but certainly infiltrate...a controlled fall of sorts.like how normies destroyed our hobbies but this time more subdued and on our terms.
>>152179347Sell them at news stands
>>152179347You can't. While there are a few ways to make it more palatable to normies, entertainment as an industry is horribly oversaturated. And the internet has made it so more media is available than ever before and faster.Trying to get normies to read comic books is like trying to get them to give-up getting their news online and go back to newspapers. It's pointless to try.
>>152179347Stop being edgy and make comfy stories people can show their kids.
>>152179347Why would you want that
>>152179347How do you get normalfags to buy and listen to vinyl records?How do you get normalfags to visit arcades?
Market to children again so they have their own reason to grab trades etc at book fairs. Book fairs continue to be amazing for Scholastic and inspire kids to read all kinds of stuff. Don't make it main universe stuff, give it its own space and they'll eventually jump into your main books as they get older. Rivals is doing more than movies ever did for getting people into comics so they can keep doing their tie-in comics. DC could have something like that but arguably all those Batman games were that. Spread it out Every other comic company will rise if the Big Two do. Multimedia does help like with Invincible but be careful about it. Use the power of not-capeshit to diversify and not get people tired of comic adaptations in general (ie something like the Hellboy videogame, or an I Hate Fairyland castle crashers type game, etc).
>>152179370That's not true. Comics still suck and the way they've been advertised has been awful. Surprisingly movies and tv shows didn't work, people still didn't and don't care
They do. It's called manga. Take some notes from them.
>>152179686>Surprisingly movies and tv shows didn't workIt certainly did for the few that got them like Invincible
>>152179531what newstands?
I'm not a normalfag, I like comics, I read AND write them, but since the mid 2000s the only real place where you can buy comics over here became Arena which is a nerd store that relies mostly on MtG. You used to be able to get Spiderman comics and stuff at your local corner kiosk for, well not a pittance, but like 3€, sometimes 4? And you'd get 2 comics (since they would get two american issues and stitch them together so you'd get a 4-part story in just 2 physical books)But Arena treats comics like they're water in the desert. "Hey want this 64-page issue of Hulk where he shits his pants? That's 15€. Batman comic? 30. You want a hardback of that? 45." Like, get fucked man. I don't wanna get fleeced just for reading a couple stories.
I don't want normalfags involved in any industries I enjoy anymore.Let them be content with AIslop, completely separated from the things I enjoy.
You put them on a phone.
>>152179347Lower the prices or increase the page count, make comics for the taste of teen boys again and do somerhing other than capeshit and horror.
>>152179347Make them more like manga.
>>152180242grocery stores and such
>>152181310They really need to bring back ads. That will help lower the price. Work out a way to get them in more retailers than specialty stores.
>>152181192Now what
>>152181374Ad more tits and asses to get costumers aka men.
>>152181374>paid>latest issues take 3 months to get addedwtf even is this. its like they are using the 2010 netflix model as the basis
>>152179347Sell them cheap in places like drug stores.I’d tell DC and Marvel, give me digests of old material like Archie does and I’ll give you money. You can make that profitable by firing everyone who isn’t required for that specific purpose.
>>152181374advertise. Nobody is going to use your app if you don't promote it.
>>152181350have you actually seen newstands at grocery stores? they barely exist anymore. And they tried it for Superman and Fantastic Four last year already.
>>152179605How do you get normalfags to drink unpasteurized milk?
>>152181763>give me digests of old material like Archie does and I’ll give you money. You can make that profitableArchie stopped doing that because they didn't make money
>>152179347We can't, in the same way we can't get people to buy magazines or newspapers anymore. I think comics can and in some ways are very strong with an enthusiast audience, keeping that strong and expanding it out is a good strategy.
>>152179605Normalfags are buying Vinyl records, they just don't listen to them.
>>152179605Taylor Swift?
we dont
>>152179347>>152179531sell them at grocery/drug stores again. Give each big character one single "mainline" continuity and call the book the name of the character. Keep it simple, stupid. Nobody should have to research a book before attempting to buy it.
>>152179347Why do you even want normalfags to interact with your interests outside of money?
>>152179567 Kong ur an american, just buy a AR15.
>>152180235What else?
