How do we get more comic book readers on here?

Time machine?

Storytime more good comics

Comics have to stop being so shit.
>>
>>155113522
Do you mean convert more people into comic fans or attract outside comic fans to post here?
>>
>>155113522
You don't, it has nothing to do with quality or accesibility. People are reading less and less, that's it. Comic books are a 20th century novelty running on fumes.
>b-but manga
There are currently 4,000 manga being currently published, give or take. How many of those are people reading?

Make new /co/ recommended pictures, updating the previous ones or for characters and writers that didn't have one. Spam threads with good titles that aren't mainstream. Sometimes recommend titles with endings, since it's a common complain. Whenever anons on other boards asks for good comics, give them recommendations and entice them to visit comic threads on /co/

A lot of those recommendation pictures aren’t being updated not because people have forgotten about them, but because there isn’t much to update them with. There have been few to no good big 2 comics in the past 12 years. The few exceptions are usually “good in comparison,” not as good as the essential runs a lot of those images point people to.

It would do the board a lot of good to get rid of all the Bendis and Aaron shit clogging them up, though. Nobody who wants to read Avengers should be reading Disassembled and Civil War.

That's actually the main reason why I posted that. Imagine trying to get into comics, worse, considering you hate comics and superheroes and you start with something modern. In that case I guess it would makes sense, and your introductions are those awful 2000s and 2010s books. I also think that we could add more obscure or forgotten titles, and many characters have more than one of those pictures. Some titles are exclusive to just one of them, they should be added to a single one. A big and complete, well organized master list. Alongside a cool drawing. Anyways anons that are interested are always thankful whenever someone else posts a reccomendation pic.

Who cares? I love DC and Marvel, but that's what I was talking about. Good titles that aren't mainstream, almost anything that isn't Marvel or DC

I agree, and I'm frankly willing to help where I can, but I'm a bit of a greenhorn myself and only know lots about a few characters and even fewer teams. I've already tried to make new lists myself, like pic related, but there's only so much that can be done with a dead tumblr as the epicenter of all this.

Hey I remember that thread. Good job anon. I also want to make my lists, but I need to read more comics so that they're good. Even the bad ones

The "/co/ recommends:" part should stand out more, I think.

The weekly/monthly releases are often bundled in an inexpensive anthology format like how Action Comics or Detective Comics etc used to do. It doesn't scratch 4000 but it helps

>>155114832
Do it.

>>155118573
Read books that you didn't know that are bad, because some idiots told you that they were actually good
