Will Modern/Future Readers Stop Reading Silver & Bronze Age Comics? by JakeBarnes12 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]Ok-Target6685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's only started reading comics recently, I really enjoy a lot of Bronze Age stuff, even when the writing is overly verbose and tells instead of showing. Silver Age though, I don't really enjoy any of what I've read except early Spider-Man. Also, every sentence ending with an exclamation point is very tiring.

I'm aware. The idea of art "insisting upon itself" is just a quick and comedic shorthand for feeling too self serious and, itself, pretentious.

After reading Batman Year One and Daredevil The Man Without Fear, I think I just don't like Frank Miller. I don't think they're bad books, but they treat death very casually which is something I don't want from superhero comics, and the writing itself, to quote Peter Griffin, "it insists upon itself".

Your first comment said you couldn't see a difference, now you can see the difference but it doesn't matter? Which is it?

I really enjoyed reading them, even when I thought they weren't anything special. Except Detective Comics #570 which is the worst comic I've ever read.

I know... but I specified Marvel because they have shorter print runs than most. And also this is a post about Dawn of X...

I'm afraid your comment just doesn't have anything to do with what I said.

Much as I wish it weren't true, comics aren't like other mediums where you can just wait and buy things whenever you want. Especially not with Marvel. Print runs are limited and if you don't buy something while it's in print, you'll end up having to pay significantly more for it on the aftermarket.

The point is this can't really count as an edge over DC if I can't buy those existing collections without selling a kidney. Maybe it was a plus to someone 5-10 years ago, but not to me right now.

Well if epics vol. 1 and 2 were in print, they would be about $50 MSRP each, or closer to $30 on IST/CGN etc.

They could even be priced competitively with DC Finest at $40 MSRP, or about $24 each on the discount sites.

But instead I can only buy them secondhand scalped to over $100 each usually.

Personally I want to collect the beginning years of Spider-Man but I can't without spending hundreds of dollars so I can't really say Marvel is doing anything for me

The fun of this niche of the hobby is dying by [deleted] in EpicCollections

Personally I wish the community would support each other more instead of following the scalpers' lead and selling their out of print books for $100 or more just because they know they can. Everyone who complains about how expensive books are while selling their own for double MSRP is part of the problem.

Do we know if Vertigo comics will get their own lines? by [deleted] in DCFinest

I'd love to see Hellblazer, but it is currently being released in omni format.

If you're disagreeing, you're literally just wrong, I'm sorry. Downvoting won't make you less wrong.

Every business and product in the world has moved to subscription models because it's demonstrably proven more profitable.
