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.

You might like Minor Threats (and From The World if Minor Threats: The Alternates, and Barfly). Minor Threats is about C-list villains in the villain neighborhood of Redport (the hood of their respective metropolis) who gather in a bar to Oceans 11 style take shit over, The Alternates is about C-list superheros in a recovery group after saving the world, and Barfly is about Shiteater who is a fly henchman of Bugman who, when Bugman was arrested, went punk, started working at a fast food place, and became a regular at that aforementioned bar, now Bugman is back and is a total dick.

Doesn't exactly answer your question but explores similar concepts of attaching reality to superherodom.
