How come no one buys paperbag comic book anymore?
only bc it has no value or is it bc it's too "expensive" or it's better to read the whole thing with hardcover/printed ones?
What's your reason????
ps. I bought my Batman new 52 series in paperbags and a couple of "first" edition of Marvel comics in paper bag...
Why quotes around the word expensive? I think its a legitimate reason. You save money buying trades. For the quality of the story you get for $4, it doesn't always feel worth it.
it's expensive and it got shitty ads
>>82816957
Because it's $3 to $5 for about 10 or 20 minutes worth of content. Not to mention they don't hold up well over time, don't look good on shelves, and are a pain to store, especially in large quantities.
Floppies are an outdated format.

Master Of Puppets
If you were to write a story to redeem the Joker, or at least make him sympathetic, how would you go about it?
I would just poop in a Ziploc bag and draw the eggplant emoji followed by the squirting emoji.

killing joke
Though imo making him sympathetic goes against his character

>art is always amateurish, stories are naval gazing or pandering as fuck, community of self interested dilletantes, taken seriously by no one but social inept at obscure nerd conventions
>meanwhile, in asia, webcomics are done professionally on a large platform, it's a professional job with lots of big investors seriously interested in supporting it, made by many professional artists

The difference is that in Asia, comics or cartoons etc are taken seriously as a storytelling medium, and it shows everywhere. The larger audience is ready to consume animated movies and ready to believe they can have serious storylines for adults, which creates a vast audience, which makes company execs and advertisers take comics/cartoons seriously, which brings money and respect into the field, which means that creators have the ambition and possibilities to create serious, ambitious storylines. All in all, the...

But watch the video, they're having a fucking giant ass press conference about fucking Korean webcomics, a conference held in an expo about nothing but webcomics.
Isn't it a legitimate question to ask how the hell western webcomics that came first can't even begin to compare with that? It's like if Americans had cars with block wheels and the rest of the world had fucking flying cars and if someone brings it up Americans just go "hurrrrr fly home, weeabooooo"

hey /co/, I'm really keen on good horror and I know hellboy is meant to be pretty top tier stuff.
I was wondering if you guys could give me:

Kind Regards,

It's about a boy in hell
He gets out of hell in an entertaining manner
The first story - Hellboy in hell
Demon boy gets adopted by humans
fights supernatural shit
drinks with skeletons
gives no shits
fantastic art
read it from #1 and don't stop until you're caught up
What is that kind regards anon shit you're not writing a letter you fuck. The art is amazing and it really functions well as a world that just grows more and more elaborate while maintaining an episodic style of storytelling until bigger stuff becomes to big to be realistically handled in the background. Likeable characters, rich use of folklore, and tight storytelling those are your reasons. Go download it and think for yourself for fuck's sake.
Given how powerful he is, why isn't Purple Man a more high profile villain in the Marvel U /co/?
>>82815765
he is a d-lister
>>82815765
Coincidentally, I just saw the Avengers EMH episode where he takes over the world through Tony yesterday.
He sucks shit
even the Enforcers get used more than Purple guy
>ITT last 5 comics you read and rate them
>>82815744
I already rated them 35 minutes ago

post 'em
>>82815744
Can I rate the last 5 cape movies instead? I haven't read any comics.
>Batman vs Superman
8/10, despite it's flaws, it really gives us an epic Batman and epic Superman.
>Civil War
4/10, while cool, the comics story was much better and covered better themes. The movie feels small, only like 8 heroes, but in the comic story there was so many.
>Man of Steel
9/10, made me give a shit about Superman...

Jesus Millar what the fuck is this shit.

Superior was actually good, and I normally think Millar licks goats

What the fuck? Superior was actually one of his better superhero themed works. Why are you dumping on it?

Is DC ever going to do anything with Batwoman or are they just sweeping her over to the side?

>>82696866
Nah they mussed her up so they'll just toss her under until someone revives her in a while.
This series desperately needs a reboot.
Maybe not even a reboot, we just need another traditional animated Batman series. 90 percent of batman cartoons are gimmicky as hell.
Let's get a 90s era Vertigo cartoon

I nominate Sandman. If only for animated Death.
