A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
See our sister sites!

I would disagree on this aspect; I am pretty touch averse myself and last I checked I am still human. Maybe some folks feel they require a certain degree of intimacy, but I don't think we should count this as a universal truth and give any credence to the notion that incels are entitled to intimate contact as a basic need.
Pssshhhh!!!!! You're not fooling ME lizard creature!!! I know the aliens have landed!!! They're after me lucky charms!!!
Disagree all you want, but there's some good research behind that, and I never, ever said anyone is entitled to intimate contact.
Normally, I'd go digging for enough links to make the point, but you seem to have misread what I wrote, so I'm not willing to put that kind of time into this for a stranger that's putting words in my mouth.
Secondary to that, you being touch averse is irrelevant to the issue tbh. I'm touch averse outside of very close friends and some family. Even the autistic people I know well enough to talk to have the need for touch to some degree, even when they can only handle it in small doses infrequently, with an even smaller number of people they can take it from. There's always outliers, and you could well be one of them.
