Actually, no. Many comics were rare and are no longer sold anywhere. Piracy was the only way to have access to them. But I guess the monsters who shut it down don't care about that, right? So be it. This type of shit only motivates me to pirate even harder. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

3.-a lot of what i bought, some examples had stuff like "something is killing the children" "die" "chew"
4.-yes, and yes, got like 4 shelves full and all over the house

why is this a question lol. who is currently living in the U.S. and reads comics?
I used it to read any old collected editions I didn't own or anything I recently discovered
nothing because piracy doesn't lead to sales.
another silly question. of course I can buy comics. I choose not to if I can read it for free.
nope. I'm the old-school cartoons first, comics second

Yes
Almost completely outside of storytimes
Basically everything besides Spider-Man, including the old Vertigo stuff, various indie comics, and all the current ongoing books I care for.

Like one or two a month, but buying say the entire Absolute line monthly is out of my price range
No /co/ did but RCO cultured me and let me escape the autism of ongoing comic threads and freed me from the noble whims of storytimers.

Really dependent because Marvel doesn't really release new issues here officially.

Marvel comics, specifically Hulk and Thor comics.

I can buy them, but the store needs to order them first and that can take a while. Still, I do have a nice collection of physical books.

Yes, started reading comics using RCO in high school.

very much dependent on them. it was my go to webcomic site
i read every single the punisher comic + many others.
I only buy the ones I really like, such as usaji yojimbo, many of them are not even released in my country and importing them would cost me a fortune, such as the invader zim comics or giant days
no, I already read comics before when they were affordable, together with manga, now they are really fucking expensive where I live, i even buy used sometimes.

Rco is literally the same deal as sadpanda.

the users upload the stuff, not the site, they arent the ones who go around uploading new comics by themselves.

that means that said users most likely they only uploaded their stuff there, and nowhere else.

quick example: i checked in RCsOru if they had the warrior nun areala comics from antartic. and they only had like 2 volumes of the stuff compared to the 12+ on RCO. why? because no one uploaded those comics in RCsOru, and probably never will.

i dunno where the fuck are you coming with your shit, but i PROMISE you this: whatever the service /co/ will go for stuff will NEVER be as complete as RCO, things WERE lost, whether you faget want to admit it or not.

>CAN you buy comics to begin with and DO you if possible

>Did RCO got you into comics as a hobby
In a way. I used to be really into comic books when I was younger but kind of lost interest. A couple of years back I found that site and read a couple of the newest green arrow runs. That kind of got me interested again.

It looks like derivative normie slop. Doesn't even look good enough for the cheesecake. If you really care about this specific comic I bet you could bag it for cheap online.

If it were Jews running the comic book industry, comics would still be the price of paper plus 40% at wholesale and available at your local grocery store for no more than $2, with a removeable fan service centerfold between pages 15 to 16. This is all the work of board members between Jap saliva meme pushers and the Disney wasps who own Marvel.
If it were Jews, no one would have grounds to complain. Nobody wins with corporates and Japs. Everybody won, and had fun doing it, with Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.

Biggest problem is a lot of the stuff they have is recolors. In some cases I swear they took down the originals and put up an omni.

I don't think they do that at all. They'll have an ongoing but also various collected editions too.
>>
>>153673148
Yes they do replace old scans with new digital rips. Ideally both would be available, but eh, it's their space, their bandwidth.
>>
>>153672799
that is the only thing i agree with. right now we still dont know why RCO fell or is working like that. we are talking a 50/50 chance that or indeed it was taken down by 'the law' or that its just a server and discord issue.

of course talking about possible alternatives is not a good idea as the govt. could go after those too.
>>
>>153673226
I would assume it depends entirely on who's uploading. There's comics that have digital rips but the versions on RCO are still old physical scans. The '80s Firestorm series is an example.
>>
>>153672094
and thats what i mean.

Not everyone who uploads to sadpanda is gonna upload backups. and if sadpanda dies, said not backed up stuff will die too.

Same case here. the chances that every single person who uploaded stuff to RCO also uploaded to other servers, or that someone who dled something from RCO uploaded it elsewhere, are close to zero.

and little sidebar: i know about Mirc, i have dled comics from there too, but even then that doesnt mean much nowadays, no one uses that anymore.
>>
>>153668762
>Just like Sadpanda
Bullshit
>>
>>153674045
The same case absolutely does not apply here, there is actually rare things that may be difficult to find elsewhere on Sadpanda.
>>
>>153674217
NTA but anything that's not currently in print is basically rare to the average RCO reader.
