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.

I'm curious on the figure for Viz media, as it seems to me like that low a percentage is US only, not worldwide ... But that's a gut reaction as I've not ever bothered to look up their revenue numbers.

I feel like I see manga sold more places. Wonder if people were buying it more from like regular book stores than comic specialty stores

This does not reflect my buying habits lol. No marvel, barely DC, mostly Image, Dark Horse, IDW, and Boom!.

Suck it big two!

Really, always has been that way, but there was more indie variety in the 80s than there ever is today.
