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.

IIRC it wasn't just Didio, it was also Joe Quesada at Marvel.

From 2002:

"What the f*** is DC anyway? They have Batman and Superman, and they don’t know what to do with them. That’s like being a porn star with the biggest d*** and you can’t get it up. What the f***?"

Nobody wanted to deal with Quesada, who was also out as of 2022.

So Didio is out, Quesada's out, maybe there's hope?

But now there is Disney, a corporation worse than any individual.

I'd love a Batman/Spider-Man therapy session written by Tom King.

"Look, it's complicated, OK? I'm out here doing this because I HAVE to. I could have taken action once, I didn't, and... someone close to me was killed..."

". . ."

Or, shit, Batman/Moon Knight.

"You need to go home, you clearly don't know how any of this works..."
