DC officially leaves New York.
End of an Era.
Wait what
We've been kicking out the poor and homeless for years now.
>>71115801
For what purpose
>>71115708
>Will now be located in Burbank
I love these stories.
A poor, talentless underdog goes to California to win their fame and fortune.
>>71115836
They moving closed to Warner.
>>71115798
DC is moving all of their operations from NYC to Burbank, CA. That's why they've had so many people hired and leaving lately, some don't want to move to CA. Also why Convergence is happening, they needed a two-month break from the regular monthly schedule to give editors and everyone time to move.
>>71115854
God dammit I have such a love-hate relationship with WB.
>>71115708
What the implication of Marvel's retweet?
>>71115855
A lot of them don't need to move. Guys like Giffen and DeMatteis are free to stay in NY.
>>71115882
Nothing, they're just being smartasses faking sadness. Why do you need everything spelled out for you?
>>71115877
It’s really the end of an era, and I will miss it.
>>71115850
No, it's because Warner wanted all of DC Comics to be under one roof. This move was supposed to happen with "Flashpoint", but then it was delayed.
>>71115882
I think they're implying that DC is Groot.
>>71115882
profound sadness
>>71115882
>Sorry to hear about your rent troubles, guys. Let me just wipe my tears with a throwaway character that's more popular than your most popular headliner.

DC should move to San Francisco
Where they belong.
>>71115882
I want to know why Marvel doesn't have actual pics of scenes like that and have to use screen caps of videos with the play button in the middle.
>>71115932
>mansplaining
Oh no. Oh no. This is a thing? Like a REAL thing?
>>71115882
People who work for Marvel and DC don't hate each other or anything. Of course they're going to be sad a lot of them are leaving NYC.
>>71115854
But...why? In this day and age of instant communication, what possible purpose does this move serve?
>>71115919
Oh, so it was a Warner decision. Guess Warner is stupid then.
>>71115948
It's actually a gif
>>71115932
If that were the case, marvel and DC should be right next door from eachother.
>>71115948
That's Twitter that did that. It plays the GIF when you click on it.
Also, they convert the GIF to a WebM.
>>71115850
So DC will be whoring themselves out to pay rent by the end of the year?
>>71115967
>People who work for Marvel and DC don't hate each other or anything.
The people in charge sure as fuck do, and I guarantee that rocket crying was sarcasm.
>>71115986
Oh, learn something new everyday.

>People who work for Marvel and DC don't hate each other or anything
Hopefully the background background hotdog stands dont slowly turn into tofu taco trucks or something.
>>71116008
...wow, that's sexist.
>>71115882
Marvel and DC have been right next to each other for decades. Even at their most heated rivalry points there was still an amount of respect between the two. They'll miss not having them down the street anymore.
Its like finding out your neighbor that was the same age as you and lived next to you all your life is moving to another town. Even if you weren't friends with the guy, it still wouldn't be the same without him.
>>71116026
>Even at their most heated rivalry points there was still an amount of respect between the two.
Tell that to Quesada.
>>71115968
>Oh, so it was a Warner decision. Guess Warner is stupid then.
From a business standpoint, it makes sense. Better to consolidate than for business to be split. DC already had a presence in Burbank as it was; they did the digital-first series from there while the New York office controlled the regular ongoings.
And chances are that there's more going on behind the scenes than email/Skype can handle. Contracts gotta be typed up and shit, after all.
>>71115927
>>71115932
i dont want dc comics to end up in faggotville
>>71116049
Quesada has said on multiple occasions that he regrets how he handled shot with DC. He said he was trying to recapture the old DC/Marvel rivalry by trash talking them all the time but took it to far. He never hated DC, he was just trying to get console wars going to try and increase sales then proceeded to be a total cocksucker about it.
Quesada is an idiot but he doesn't actually hate dc.
>>71116049
You mean Jemas? Because Jemas was a hell of a lot more responsible for stirring shit than Quesada was.
So do Marvel and DC follow each other on Twitter?
>>71116103
It still doesn't excuse asking retailers to send in the covers of unsold DC comics to Marvel in exchange for a Deadpool variant cover.
>>71116107
Oh yeah, Jemas actually did hate DC. Quesada just tried stirring shit up to get the rivalry going again.
>>71116107

What the fuck is DC anyway? They'd be better off calling it AOL Comics. At least people know what AOL is. I mean, 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 dick and you can't get it up. What the fuck?
>>71116134
Not only send them in, but making sure they're all ripped up too.
>>71116134
Marvel also does that with their own comics. For a variant of Secret Wars #1, you have to send in a bunch of torn covers of AXIS #1.
Which is really weird.
>>71116144
Jemas was openly calling DC management pedophiles and shit.
Quesada was just being stupid to try and spike sales.
There's a clear difference there.
>>71116025
check your privilege you rapist
>>71116180
I see
>>71115708
REMINDER - the reason we have an Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Female Thor is because one of the DC editors left for a position at Marvel SPECIFICALLY because said editor didn't want to leave NYC.
>>71116157
No, just the covers, I think. Stripping covers is a standard practice.
>>71116167
I wonder if it actually works.
>>71116137
>>71116180
Can we get examples of Jemas doing these things?
>>71116194
Come again?
>>71116167
Not really. If I were Marvel, I'd try to hide all evidence of that comic as well.
>>71115708
>Marvel reply has both more retweet, and more favorites than the original tweet
>>71116194
Is this supposed to be anti-DC? Because I don't consider that a good thing for Marvel.
>Detective Comics Comics
>>71116207
That's what I meant, just the covers, but the covers had to be torn to pieces and unsalvagable if I remember right.
>>71116210
>trying to hide all evidence of one of their only good events ever
To what end?
>>71116207
A long time DC editor jumped ship because the offices are closing down and relocating to California.
Said editor got a new job editing for Marvel because their offices are still based in NYC.
While at Marvel, said editor worked to make such progressive comics like Unbeatable Squirrel Girl a thing, as well as usher in the concept of the current Female Thor.
All because DC changed offices.
>>71116207

They've been turning tricks for years, but they're bad at it.
Marvel is the high-class ho. She the one you send to star parties and shit. She's clean, sexy, and she knows how to please.
DC is some old and busted down queen who thinks the same moves that were hot 30 years ago work today. She tries to copy Marvel but she fucks that up bad. Can't even sell her pussy to the hobos.

>>71116401
>imagined rivalry
>implying they'll never stop being mostly friendly rivals forever
>>71116192
B...but
>>71116441
It's hip to hate DC on /co/
>>71116441
Pretty much
>>71116365
But wouldn't Marvel be the one who contracts an STD or three and neglects to tell anybody because it would ruin her business and send her into a downward spiral due to her inability to accept the possibility of failure?
And would DC be the one who chooses to leave the lifestyle and reinvent herself from the ground up in a bid to overcome her personal weaknesses, acknowledging her past but preventing it from letting it define who she is in the present
>>71116401
Look up all the stupid shit quesada and jemas has said and done and then say it's "imagined".

![stephanie-262x350[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JjcEm68.jpg "stephanie-262x350[1].jpg")
>>71116441
because Didio failed to please a woman at a convention.
>>71116514
because capefags arent as high and mighty and removed from video gamer faggots as they tend to think.
>>71116514
people on here love to start shit over nothing.
>>71116441
I think you're paranoid? I love reading DC. I just don't like their movies.
And the inverse is true of Marvel. I don't care much for their books, largely, but I still love both universes and i'm happy to enjoy each in one form, or another.
I'm still in mourning for EMH.
>>71116471
well, what is it to like?
>>71116441
DC isn't quite as active in trying to look progressive as Marvel, so a lot of people assume that their backwards because they don't announce their gender swap characters on The View.
>>71116441
No, it's because DC makes shit comics more often than Marvel.
>>71116441
Combination of movies and the New 52 tanking a lot of goodwill among comic readers and casuals at the start. They managed to fix a lot of the problems, which earned back some faith among readers, but casuals are retarded and probably assume fifty books are still written by some combination of Liefeld and Lobdell, and so on and so forth.
>>71116514
>>71116540
>>71116545
Because it isn't "respect" and if you knew anything at all about their rivalry, you'd see how blatant they are about sarcasm.
>>71115850
yeah because they know full well they can employ desperate artists cheap as shit there
>>71116589
i'd say both are pretty even in the shit comics department.
Marvel just has more offensively bad books.
>>71116365
Marvel isnt I high class ho. its just a popular pornstar who people are willing to pay to sleep with but you can still jerk off to for free.
>>71116481
No. Marvel is currently changing not DC. DC is moving. DC is the same whore in a different city
>>71116589
You clearly don't read comics

>>71116662
>Marvel is currently changing
But nobody likes what Marvel is becoming.
Hell, DC is the one who is changing, given the post-Convergence lineup of books.
>>71116561
The comics and shows obviously. Oh but you wouldn't know anything about that would you?
>>71116699
>Hell, DC is the one who is changing, given the post-Convergence lineup of books.
This. look at the post Convergence lineup and the at Marvel's and see which one looks more "diverse".
>>71116441
It's a combination of that and the start of SJWs taking over mainstream american comics in 2011.

So DC dodged a bullet and managed to fuck Marvel over all at the same time. Sounds like a win win situation to me, I only questioned whether this was intentional sabotage or whether SJW really have gotten out of control.
>>71115708
It's a waste of infrastructure to have your assets spread across the nation instead of in one location

>>71116450
I love when they make nods to their old silliness. Like in that Deadpool "flashback" issue with Liefield-era 90s art where Deadpool calls Sabertooth a cheap Wolverine knockoff and ST replies "Yeah, tell Slade I said hi!"
>>71116401
>>71116003

Portly, with spiky blond-highlighted hair and an earring, he had the I-don’t-give-a-shit-that-I’m-the-boss look down pat-black T-shirt, sweatpants and a pair of Air Jordans. As a package, he seemed to personify what Ben Affleck’s comic-artist character, Holden McNeil, had in mind when he said in Chasing Amy- a film directed by Mr. Quesada’s friend and sometime collaborator, Kevin Smith-that comic books are about “over- or underweight guys who don’t get laid.”

I'd say I'm offended that this actually exist and talk about how SJW have taken over, but given the guy has the lasso of truth on him doesn't that imply that this so called mansplaining is the truth? Either they didn't think this through or someones bucking the system. Either an idiot or an ally in DC.
>>71116722
Oh yeah I love tween drama and shitty direct to dvd animation. I totally forgot about those.
>>71116944
The people who would be mad about that wouldn't really be mad about the cover. Though I do believe Marvel cancelled several female lead ongoings however that's easily hidden amongst the mass relaunches.
But yeah DC can't do anything right while hiring actual minorities and saying they're relaunching to appeal to these people but they almost put out a variant people are offended by and it undoes all that good will.
>>71116987
Yeah the dude's batshit insane. This is the guy who threatened Peter David's job because he didn't like Captain Marvel and thought he could shit out a better comic and what he did was Marville.
This is also the same guy who kept us from getting Morrison's Silver Surfer because he didn't get it and wanted Noh-Varr to work on a farm instead.
And of course, the guy who let Garth Ennis tank a white Nick Fury movie because NO GARTH SHOWING A DUDE STRANGLED WITH HIS OWN INTESTINES BY FURY TOTALLY WON'T UPSET OR DRIVE CONSERVATIVE INVESTORS AWAY
>>71117160
You haven't even seen any of it, how would you know?
>>71116441
I like em better than Marvel, comics wise they still have better stuff. Marvel only publishes a few series I like, and I like their shows better.
Marvel should lay off the crossover events after secret wars for at least 3 years.
>>71115932
>Uses lasso of truth on man who's "mansplaining".
>The man is, therefore, telling the truth.
>>71116134
>>71116157
Yeah, that was a pretty awesome move by Marvel, all things considered.
The books that were a part of the promotion were the Blackest Night tie-ins that retailers had to order in large amounts so they could get the plastic Lantern rings. Most retailers ended up ordering way more of these books than usual, just to get the rings (which is all most people cared about), so they had a lot of excess stock lying around (I worked at a shop during this time and we had about 30-50 extra copies of each).
MONTHS later, well after these books were released, Marvel started the retailer promotion to have them send unsold books for a Deadpool variant to Siege. By this time, there's little to no chance these books are going to get sold, they're just going to sit in back issue bins or storage forever. But you can't have retailers send the entire book, that would cost way too much on shipping. When you return a periodical like that, you have to strip the cover so that the rest of the book can't be sold. You are agreeing to return it after all, stripping the cover is just to save the retailer money on shipping.
The reality is that Marvel hadn't tried a promotion like the GL rings, and by doing this, they could see how many excess copies retailers were willing to get rid of and if it would be financially viable to try something similar (which they eventually did years later when they gave out Watcher eyeballs during Original Sin).
>>71117262
>>The man is, therefore, telling the truth.
You think it was intentional or are they really just that stupid?
>>71115882
Faked sadness with a Passive aggressive dash with raccoon being in a successful movie of nobodies that DC are trying to make with the SQ
>>71117311
>>71117262
The man thinks it's true, not that it necessarily is.
DC is going(going), back(back) to Cali(Cali)
>>71117266
Sure, it's reasonable when you say it like that.
But then they had the same thing when they asked retailers to send in "Flashpoint" tie-in books for another Deadpool variant.
>>71116131
They do not but there's some overlap in the creators obviously
>>71117453
Yeah, after Flashpoint was finished, again after all these books are done selling. Flashpoint was a big gamble for retailers, a mass of #1's that are sort of in-continuity but sort of not. Most likely just wanted information again -- if they wanted to hurt DC in some way, they'd start the promotion while the books were new. By then most of the sales are going to come from trades. DC already made their money on the single issues.
Wouldn't surprise me if that lead to what they're doing now with Secret Wars, suspending publication of most normal titles and filling the schedule with alt universe mini's.
Remember when /co/ was smart enough to use Tumblr buzzwords in a clearly sarcastic manner and not border on sounding like complete retards who use the words unironically?
>>71115708
The worse thing about the news is that it makes artists and writers looking to make a switch from DC/Marvel to the other much more problematic to pull off. Wasn't that big of a deal when their offices were a few blocks from each other. If you're tired of some Marvel editors bullshit and want to jump to DC, moving three thousand miles to do it isn't that casual of a step.
Management at DC and Marvel will know this and will take advantage of the reduction in labor mobility. "don't like the work? what are you going to do, pack up the family and move three time zones away?"
Wonder if Disney is considering the same move...
>>71117735
Artists and writers it doesn't hurt too much, since a lot of them don't have to live in NYC to do work. There's a huge chunk of creators like Fraction and Bendis that live in Portland, OR.
It's definitely killer on editors though, which is why you've had so many DC editors move to Marvel lately, and DC replacing them with people already in cali.
