>>83358860
You never, ever, ever get to have creative control of something you are not the or a creator of. It's that simple. You aren't entitled to anything beyond the product, which you can choose to buy or not.

This is especially true with blatant commercial comics like the ones we read. You could argue Dave Sim betrayed his readerbase (IMO you'd still be wrong) but you definitely can't argue Nick Spencer did.
>>
>>83358860
I love fandom's inventiveness (and sometimes I marvel at its perversion) but I've become really aware of and cautious about how people try to exercise control in it, and try to extend those things to creator interactions because Twitter and other social media make everyone so very accessible. It's not like the moderated newsgroup wherein JMS would answer B5 questions but moderated so you couldn't post story ideas.

Could you imagine pre-fratricide Nightshade having this conversation with this dynamic? It's like she's transgressed so massively that all transgressions mean less to her.

If you think back to her mini, she is so much more timid and under direction in her one-to-one with the priest there. Here, she's the one pressuring Flag.

>that point on Black Panther
It's true, people saying the sales were because 'outside' people got interested because of Coates are really wrong. It had 15+ variants + shop exclusive variants + #1 + movie appearance. Coates had little to do with that high number. Even the people that picked up their first Black Panther comic because of reasons were comic fans.
>>
>>83359370
Now the trade, however, is going to be killer
>>
>>83359092
I actually saw people complain about Rebirth's second printing being 5.99. And I was like, yeah well it does suck if you didn't manage to get a copy when it was 2.99, but it's of higher quality AND for 80 pages it could still be higher. CW2 #1 is, what, 56 pages total and 5.99? If CW2 were 80 pages it probably would've 10 dollars. Maybe even more because why not.
>>
>>83359298
Seconding this. Was not expecting a scene like that from Suicide Squad. Great stuff.
>>
>>83359358
It's why Nightshade, further on - not leading the Squad, but above that, maybe in Waller's chair - feels like it could be something great. But the Wall is kinda irreplaceable.
>>
>>83359370
There's also the question that no one all delighted by those huge sales wants to look at--how many people read it, might have enjoyed it, but weren't excited enough to go back to the shop the next month and pay another $3.99 for another short installment?

I would like to hear from a variety of individual retailers about who came in to buy it and who comes back, because it's such an interesting test case of Big Name Writer and Character Everyone Liked In A Huge Movie.
>>
>>83359265
The inker changed, might just be that
>>
>>83359415
$10 for an 80 page one-off is a pretty hard sell compared to like, the Image trades.

Skwad Rebirth has Rick coming into play (maybe because movie?), but I wonder if Williams will pull in Eve eventually as well. She's such a huge part of this original run.

Second print costs DC more on production because not nearly as many copies. People are retarded that know very little.

I was reading an interview with Barry Windsor-Smith and he said the happiest he ever felt in comics was when his barber told him that he had never rad a comic, but knew Smith made them so he went out and bought an issue of Archer and Armstrong and really enjoyed it. He talked about the need to reach " civilians" and how magazines like TCJ and Wizard really just preach to the choir

>I honestly think Marvel can get away with almost anything at this point.

I'm still annoyed how Black Panther #1 was 4.99 but had like 3 extra pages and how 4.99 is apparently their standard #1 price point now.

Nope. Marvel has the Disney/Star Wars money to keep them going. If anything...we'll see 5.99 an issue in a couple years.
>>
>>83359675
Nah, Croc's never been on the team.
>>
>>83359690
I don't think fandom is broken so much as journalism is broken. Or more broken.

Though I've heard it said that the peak of identity-politics clickbait was actually a couple of years ago, and readers are now starting to get bored with it. But the problem remains that comics journalism is a weird mix of regurgitated corporate press releases and politicized commentary.

I actually just got off the phone with my LCS. I mostly buy trades off IST because, despite being the LCS it's a half-hour drive away. ANYWAY, I asked if they had any Rebirth yet, and they actually said that, for a week, it was down to $1.50

I think it's because they make toys of a lot of franchises that don't have much merch.

well, I mean, they ARE

they do a LOT of 7.99 and occasionally 9.99 Deadpool books and other specials and nobody gives a single fuck about the price

>>83359782
Most of it is they're small so you can have a lot of them and they can be pretty cute
They also make them for franchises that don't get much merch and those fans can get thirsty

I don't hate seasons, so much as I hate renumberings with the same creative team for obvious sales reasons.

If they're attached to creator runs ending and let people do runs in different continuities, where applicable? Neato. If you're going to hop onto a new status quo, do it big-time. Take us back to the 80s as the 80s status quo existed.

>>83359835
I wouldn't say panicky. ANAD was a big failure (in large part because they underestimated how weirdly anal people would be about starting series before Secret Wars ended). Rebirth is heating up and, with Marvel being Marvel, they need to divert attention from it.

Admittedly, the return to "Marvel NOW!" is....dumb. But hey, they're the masters of spin. They'll figure out how to make it work for them.

They seem a little torn between capitalizing on Deadpool's popularity and their ban on promoting X-characters.

He's the one X-character who does get promotion, but I think they'd be pushing him a lot harder if they owned the movie rights.
>>
>>83360158
And the retailer I linked with the awful BP second issue sales said that his Deadpool is declining fast as well--maybe the Duggan Long Form Project is reaching diminishing returns, IDK, or it might be his one shop

That's a scary thought.

But that's every form of media. And journalism has always been a giant crock of shit.

>>83360061
I came across two of these while storytiming Flash, the first one I skipped because it was a Dr. Rape story that had nothing to do with Flash, the other one was a Blue Trinity story which was clearly more linked to Wally than the previous one.

I don't know if this has gotten worse but it annoys me that fans and journalists alike feel entitled to speak for entire groups.

Like it's not enough to say "I don't like this kind of art," it's become "this kind of art drives girls away from reading comics," even though there's no actual evidence that it does.

I guess journalists projecting their own tastes on "the people" is a common enough thing now that I think about it.

Yeah, had thought he was developing a fear of the tile but apparently what it is is that the dogabetes did damage before caught that took time to fully express, and he's clearly lost a lot of functional vision to the point where he bumps straight into objects.

I will never get tired of the fact that you insist on calling the game "Waifu Academy".

Speaking of games though, the absurd amount of Overwatch porn that's coming out now that the game is actually on shelves is similarly amusing.

It's incredibly frustrating too because the vet is finally happy with his blood sugar curve. And I feel awful because if we'd caught it earlier, but so much was going on with the situation he was in the middle of that no one thought to take him in, thought he was just showing age.
>>
>>83360813
Wasn't Overwatch the game that had a bunch of fuckwits get annoyed that one character's victory pose showed off some butt, so they changed it?

How much of the porn is of that character?
>>
>>83360368
I think someone should commission some formal poll of comic book readers so we can find out some actual information on what they like and don't like.

Even the Big Two are famous for doing hardly any market research. The only thing I could find online was somebody doing a quick count of how many self-identified comic book fans there are on Facebook.

I really have no idea who the comic book audience is or what they want.
>>
>>83360813
Tbf a lot of the characters in that were obviously going to have tons of porn

The porn started with the beta. I think like 10 million people played it when it was free. Making porn was all they had once the beta ended and the wait for the game began

You're probably thinking of Tracer, the sort of mascot of the game. Look. I know I keep saying this, but it bears repeating. People, please please please, stop listening to what radicals say.

Or, better yet, people, pick your battles. Overwatch is 1) a Blizzard game, and 2) clearly not meant to be taken seriously, and takes a lighthearted-ish tone. This really the hill you wanna die on?

And y'all know I'm a huge prude, so when I say that an instance of fanservice isn't worth bitching about, you know it's fucking harmless.

You too, eh? Is it an MMO? Shooter? No fucking clue.

From what I can gather I think it's the new TF2 with more classes and sexy ladies. (maybe sexy men too but i'm not running the numbers)

Actual quote from the EiC of Marvel a couple of years ago: "While we don’t have any market research, the eyes don’t lie. If you go to conventions and comic book stores..."

Nothing is sacred on the Internet, and as Rule 34 tells us — if it exists, there’s porn of it somewhere. Blizzard’s recently released Overwatch is apparently no exception, and those making Overwatch porn are starting to get hit with DMCA takedown notices and their NSFW Overwatch content is being removed from various services.

A reddit user posted that he’d received at least two DMCA takedown notices for Overwatch videos he’d posted on Pornhub. The problem might not be the content itself, but rather the method in which the content is being generated. The redditor, spornm, used the Valve Source Filmaking Kit to rip assets from Overwatch and then creates his videos using those assets, which is most definitely grounds for a solid case by Blizzard.

I think a great idea would be one of those pull-out or cut-out surveys that you used to find in really old comics.

Maybe have a big+rare prize for it. Maybe convince the LCSes themselves to accept the surveys and mail them, if the readers are too lazy. If maybe 5-10 readers do it in every LCS, you'd get a decent sampling of the actual buyers, not the pirates or the "i don't even read comics but i feel my opinion matters" crowd.

IIRC, Shueisha and other manga compaanies did/do the same thing, mostly to see which series people are actually reading in their anthologies.

But you're supposed to do market research to figure out ways to expand your customer base, not just to know who's buying! Why would you actively hate profits?
