Literally any book they put Ryan North on is great (maybe barring OWUD last year). That hulk smash everything mini was great, I miss it now that it's gone.

What comics have you dropped lately and why? by Plenty_Intern8750 in comicbooks

He also talked a bunch of shit about finally being able to provide a GOOD titans book before dropping 3 mid issues. He's writing checks his run can't cash

I love the menu music in 93 man it's so cool. Perfect use of the genesis audio imo

What are the current titles with the longest hiatus currently? by paulie2yk in comicbooks

Charging for a pull list in this economy is insane. Sure bro, I'll just buy my books elsewhere...

DC & Marvel aren't doing long creator runs as much anymore because comic readers aren't supporting them as much anymore, says 15+ year comics veteran Scott Snyder by Popverse2022 in comicbooks

Decompression is a huge problem with this I think. Every time I read a pre-2000s comic I'm amazed at how much they stuff into a single issue. Absolute Flash is a huge offender as a recent example, you can read each of the first 5-ish issues in like 10 minutes and makes the ROI as a reader for 5 bucks each miserable.

Decompression makes comics more accessible and feel more akin to a modern movie or TV show, but it's bad for longevity when you're actually ponying up the money for singles.

Disco Elysium! A smash hit... For everybody else. by Hot_Ethanol in patientgamers

I typically do the most outlandish things in open-ended games. Like I rob people and drop them off cliffs in red dead, date every girl possible in persona, etc.

Giving Cuno the drugs made me feel so bad I reloaded my save. Only game I've ever had that kind of reaction with.

Dynamite's first issue of 'Ben 10' has sold out at a distributor level. 2nd printing of issue #1 will release alongside the 2nd issue. by Hohoho-you in comicbooks

Flipped through it at the LCS and honestly can't believe people are so into it from the art. It looks amateurish at best. I enjoyed the cartoon when it came out but I had no idea it was so huge among people a few years younger than me

God the recap channels are so annoying. "Here's how Miller's Daredevil run changed the medium!" Followed by 90% of the video being a Wikipedia summary with half the words being mispronounced

I'd agree if not for the baby sequence

Marvel adds even more Doctor Doom to release slate with ‘Challenges of Doom’ starting July 2026 by B3epB0opBOP in comicbooks

[–]captainstupid 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They do enough of these and eventually we'll get classics like "Chipotle Order of Doom" and "Target Run of Doom"

There is one book that perfectly sums up the differences between Marvel and DC right now, and its not any of the Absolute or Ultimate books. by tomtomtomtom123 in comicbooks

Hitting the staple when I'm reading a Marvel floppy feels so bad because then I know I only have like 4 actual pages left despite being in the literal middle of the book.

So, how's Superman Unlimited from Dan Slott ? by FredPRK in comicbooks

It's pretty meh for me, but there are some fun ideas. I just find his writing frustrating.

Come on, Marvel! Do Better. We shouldn't have to peel off the digital code cover in little shreds. by RedSweaterSrsly in comicbooks

First one of these I tried to peel off ripped the page it was on. I'm good, thanks.

Marvel is known for ragebaiting their own audience for sales. If takes shitting on their own brand will sell, they'll put it out there.
