>yfw you realize comics will never be good again
I don't understand you peopleYou hinge your entire enjoyment on a whole ass medium on two companies and one genre
>>156080339>two companies and one genreAll companies and all genres excluding licensed comics, modern strips, and Scholastic comics (excluded because I have zero interest in ever reading those).
>>156080426Well, if everything is so terrible perhaps you'd indulge us with a list of 50 or so titles so we can understand your point of view.Surely that should be a paltry sum to put together considering, as you say, nothing is good.
>>156080103i realized that after black label tried to be the new vertigo
>>156080103They will.>>156080586>Surely that should be a paltry sum to put together considering, as you say, nothing is good.That doesn't make any sense. Also,>AI Shinji
>>156080103>Again>Implying
>>156080103maybe your tastes and or the times has change anonit has always been this way in the industrycapeshit comics are for kids
Read comics that aren’t from the big or capeshit
>>156080103Yeh>>156080339>>156081705Always funny to see these posts. Every single comic sucks. Marvel and DC sucks, okay. Then you realize that all cape also sucks. Oh okay, well what about everything else? 99% sucks. There are comics I always enjoy, like MM&O and some really obscure cape comics. The rest, other published comics, it's a big staggering pile of shit. People can't write and draw anymore. Everything looks so samey, cringy, or absolutely ugly. Plots are rehashed and have dumb plot twists, the dialogue is cancerous and artificial. Oh and they can't do good paneling. Most of /co/'s recs from the last two decades suck. Every single storytimed comic sucks. All published comics suck. There's some good shit online but it's not a lot, grim present>>156081467Wow anon that's a very mature and deep observation, good for you champ
>>156081927>I always enjoy, like MM&O>Everything looks so samey, cringy, or absolutely ugly.
>>156080426What comics do you even like?
>>156081467No see this is the issue, OP is right the comics suck, and it's because cape comics STOPPED being for kids, they stopped focusing on the male 6-15 demographic and started trying to appeal to adults male 18-55 and tumblr women. So now everything is "super serious mature" and whatever cause of the month bullshit women are going on about (BLM, the gays, immigration, rape, domestic abuse, giant coffees).If comics just went back to predominantly one-shot stories with fun adventures, comics would start selling better.
>>156081954It's shit, just like the good underground comix from 5 decades ago, and I love it
>>156082044Cape stopped being for kids back in the 60s. The problen began in the 90s with all the edge and some dumb decisions both companies were doing, but everything went to shit in the 2000s. Writing self aware and ironic crap, ashamed of classic cape.>predominantly one-shot storiesAnother problem. 3-5 ISSUES FOR A SINGLE STORY
>>156082050If you admit the comic you like is shit wouldn't that invalidate your tastes period?
>>156080339ThisLike if you can't enjoy something like Regicide coming out, you are one dry and joyless motherfucker
>>156082094It's another kind of shit. The one that makes you vomit, in a good way!
>>156080103What’s it like when your hobby is just hating everything about the thing you claim to love?
>>156082044>I, an adult man, am very angry that I cannot find comics written for 8 year old because that means there are no comics that are aimed at my mental age!!
>>156082795Hey anon never said that he hates everything. Many comics, yes, but not the old ones
>>156082795youd probably have to ask someone who feels that way.
>>156080103Comics are good right now
>>156082809You're an idiot.

>>156082842>The ArrivalUnfathomably based.
It’s always people who read one bad comic in 2016 and then haven’t read anything else that say stupid shit like this. Congratulations on becoming just like your parents and grandparents who complained how all music and movies and television was better when they were young but now it all sucks, by the way. You levelled up to a boomer in record time.
>>156082810>I love comics but also not a single good comic has been published since [insert arbitrary cutoff point from when I was a teenager]Checks out
>>156082842all shit btw
>>156082868>>156083332Thank you.
>>156080103What are you talking about? Only DC and Marvel have been ruined by normies stumbling their way over to drool on them.
>>156082833Name some?
>>156082044>If comics just went back to predominantly one-shot stories with fun adventures, comics would start selling better.They wouldn’t. If that is what people only wanted and were desperate for it why aren’t old reprints from the 50s, 60s, etc. that did that dominating sales charts? People like you are just morons.
>>156080103>again>implyinggood one
>>156080103make your own comics... and if they are shit , you can only blame yourself.
>>156083477>why aren’t old reprints from the 50s, 60s, etc. that did that dominating sales charts?Because they aren't being printed, and when they are it's usually in giant fucking omnibi that cost a stupid amount and suck to fucking read, so people just use RCO (or whatever has replaced it).
>>156083863>Because they aren't being printedYes they are>and when they are it's usually in giant fucking omnibi that cost Nope. And why should it matter if all other comics suck and the demand is only for old timey kids comics, people should be willing to pay more for stuff they are starving for>durrrr people will just pirate itYou are further undermining your whole argument.
>>156080103Comics are still good. You just got old and bitter because you have grown up to a point where you can’t get excited the same way you did when you were a child. You don’t have the sense of excitement and wonder of discovering new things like a small kid who for the first time finds something, so you blame new comics of being awful. It’s a complete misunderstanding of how personal tastes work.>B-b-but I still like old comics!!You simply like certain style tied to a very specific era in time. That doesn’t make newer comics bad. You just have just incredibly narrow taste. It’s no different from whining that music went to shit because people started to like jazz instead of classical music. Or that episodic tv slop was better than modern television where there are actual story arcs and development instead of characters never changing because muh format.
