>copy manga>sell a gorillion copiesIs it really that simple?
>>154146214>unsolicited opinions about Absolute Batman just to make an absolute batman threadOP was not heterosexual. And his opinion backfired to him.
>>154146332All of these variants will be worth thousands of dollars in the future btw
>>154146214explain how its similar to manga
>>154146552I don't know: the art style, the intentional references to manga, having similar plot beats to Berserk...
>>154146609>the art styleno manga looks like this>the intentional references to mangalike? also how does referencing manha make your comic LIKE manga?>having similar plot beats to Berserk...like?stop with the fucking "Absolute Batman is like a manga dude!!!"there is not a single battle shonen in existence with 3 to 4 issues/chapters mini story arcs.
>>154146609Daily Rick Remender that: most of absolute batman covers comes from comicbooks shops/retailer exclusives and aren't as "oficial" as the "open to order" ones.
>>154146214>DC babies thinking copying Ultimate Marvel is a novel concept
>>154146804>stop with the fucking "Absolute Batman is like a manga dude!!!"No
>>154146854>>154146609>covers refernce manga covers>THIS IS LIKE THE REAL DEAL; THIS COMIC IS ACTUALLY AN ANIME!!! THATS WHY IT SELLS OS MUCH!!!Absolute Faggot
>>154146854this shit so blatant and awful, i'm not sure why you faggots eat it up
>>154146854no normalfag has ever read a single page of Death Note.
>>154146904bruh sybau batman is aura farming
>>154146906Cope
>>154146214Not really. Marvel had a line of comics that deliberately copied manga. They're not around anymore.
>>154146214>be garbageApparently
>>154147002seethe and dilate
>>154147008/co/ really is just zoomers that never read ultimate because they were literal babies when it came outthis shit isn't newand it's going to crash and burn the same way
>>154147058Nobody cares about your hobbies
>>154147079cute
>>154147077I don't think he was talking about Ultimate. There was an actual Mangaverse and also stuff like Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane that was much more explicitly manga ripoffs.
It seems you fellas are not immune to the same shtick Snyder is known for.>Has a chance to start on a rebooted universe >Has a solid Batman run in the beginning >plot goes south quick>finishes his plot in the next reboot/phase when he has enough time to think about the finish>Ends in a big finale that doesnt land>Current Batbook isn't selling cause [current writer] doesn't understand basic writing comprehension.>Snyder comes in and "saves" Batman with another bombastic pitch for the beginning of the series>RepeatBut the one thing I will give the Absolute-verse is at least DC is willing to give it a go, cause the fubar'd thier mainline with a bunch of fag-reveals. Marvel would never do such a thing and doubles down on being wrong Every. Single. Time.
>>154146926You're retarded. Middle schoolers today are still talking about Deathnote and they reprinted the volumes in a 3-in-1 giant version over a decade after the series ended. They didn't do that because it was some obscure weeb-only series.
>>154146935But Batman isn't even on that cover.Weaboo, don't you know who the hell Batman is or what?
>>154146214It’s just because it’s a fresh take on Batman, not anime shit.
>>154146332i don't get why it's referenced so much, it's boring and forgettable
>>154147184i saw a teenage girl dressed as L last halloween, and another girl in the same group dressed as momo from dandadan, so i'm not doubting you're right that kids are still in to that shit, but none of them read manga, they're all watching the anime
>>154146904It makes it obvious that the writers/artists are weebs, retard
>>154147794>but none of them read mangaThen why is it in every damn comic store/book shop?
>>154146906>this shit so blatantyea you're supposed to recognize it
>>154147008>They're not around anymore.actually it's getting some new oneshots for it's 25th anniversary
>>154146804>guy that doesn’t know what he’s talking about makes it everyone else’s problem
>>154146926Everyone’s seen death note unc. Especially today’s terminally online generation
>>154147907I hope they've got Akira Yoshida back to write them
>>154147907This looks like a cool idea. Shame I missed it
>>154147907Some one shots are being gone for twenty-five years, huh? You sure proved me wrong, anon.
>>154146906Do you hate it when comic book covers reference older comic book covers?
>>154147913Part 1 of this is better than any cape comic from the past couple decades.Unfortunately, Part 2 exists.
>>154146906bat cover mogging desu.
>>154147943seen, they haven't read it of course.
>>154148152No
why don't these fags like actually experiment with a 250 page b&w batman/x-men whatever magna volume for 10 bucks and see if it would sell.
>>154146214DKR has more in common with a manga than absolute and that was 40 years ago.
>>154146214More or less. I think the fact each Absolute run is effectively entirely self contained without needing you to read any other comic to start is a big boon as well.
>>154148609Yes. >>154148670They half try, see that it doesn't make millions, then fall back onto the same shit. This time it might stick.
>>154148712No
>>154148604Experiencing death note without the godly soundtrack from the anime is criminal thoughbeit
>>154148721Then name 10 cape comics from the last couple of decades that are better.
>>154148670... they have been doing that for years, and they have been doing decent in print/sales far as I knowdo you actually buy or keep up with comics?
>>154146214Anon discovered that comics covers sometimes reference iconic covers from previous works?
>>154149240I like getting these for $6 on instocktrades, insane value
>>154149240those are just trades, its not the same thing dingus.
>>154146214Yes. That's all they ever had to do. They were too proud to do it until they were staring death in the face, and even now they're too proud to admit it's what they did. But copying manga's homework was always the way.
