Comic Books
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.

Man I had the best luck tracking down that issue of Inebrio lmao. My usual shop didn't get any, the second shop I tried thought I was prank calling them because "Inebrio Horsefeathees in scamper juice" does sound fake, admittedly, and the third shop had one, iirc only recieved one, but they saved it for me! And now I have to go back on sunday to see about subscribing to a publisher lol. My typical store does not like dealing with Bad Idea, they said it was "a Bad Idea" lmao.
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving dude! Hope it's a good one!
Well, the name is a play on Horatio Hornblower, which also sounds made up. :)

Bad Idea is kind of a weird publisher. For example, if they do a 4 issue series, you have to pay for the whole thing up front, sight unseen.
I can see why some stores won't deal with that.
Lol yeah it does, but I've heard of that character before and somehow it still seems less preposterous than "Inebrio Horsefeathers" haha.
Yeah the store owner was mentioning that. I probably wouldn't mind paying for it up front myself so long as it isn't constant and is only like 4-6 issues, more than that is a tough ask though. He was also saying something about having to sell out everything since they don't work like normal publishers, idk exactly.
Hopefully the store that is already "approved" by Bad Idea will let me subscribe to their stuff though, I figure if I don't like it I can always sell the series later, even if I lose a few bucks on the deal, at $20 for 4 I won't lose that much. Also I like weird shit like this, and whatever The Destroyer is looks interesting, so I think I'll like most of their stuff.
DSTLRY at least did a sample book called "The Devil's Cut" which had a couple pages from each of their books so you could decide what to get. I love anthology stuff so I grabbed that and just added on everything else.

Thanks, I'll have to keep an eye out for their stuff! I think my usual does carry them.
Speaking of Bad Idea:

Yeah i saw that was coming out next month while looking for info on inebrio yesterday. It looks interesting, I'll have to reserve it!
