Do you ever look in the indie section of your LCS? This happens all the time.
In my city, every comic shop has this and it's always full of shit like this. They pop up every month or two and only last like 3 issues.
One I saw was this guy complaining about his retail job and put in a section where it was a Final Fantasy reference of killing "The Final Boss," which was his store manager.
>>82860285
These are even worse.

>>82860285
Wait... wait... WAIT. Could you imagine... if... wait... superheros ACTUALLY existed? Like, in our world. Like in this world we're in right now. It wouldn't be ANYTHING like the comics! I mean if it was me I'd probably just act like a huge asshole all the time... wait... what if... wait... what if they were just like me?
>>82859950
This is only really a problem for webcomics and Image shit.

what happened? when did people stop loving stories about space, dinosaurs, knights, ninjas, aliens and monsters and thought it was a good idea to make four tomes of their boring life working at subway and having a crush on some moe girl from college?

Nah. Basically anything trying to do what Watchmen did 30+ years ago.

Made by people not on a publisher who buy shelf space at the comic shop out of there own pocket.
The fact that so many comic books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

I don't ever hold up The Beatles or Watchmen as the greatest because I know they're not.
My sis loses her shit over the Beatles yet most of their music is garbage and boring. They weren't "innovative," most of the shit they did was already being done years before and better actually on Jazz and Blues records.
Watchmen is good, but it's not the greatest by far. There have been other works of sequential art that utilize it to a new potential and a new way of story-telling. But Watchmen is held so highly because it dealt with capes, which is what people think comics are all and only about.
>>82862226
No anon, the word meme is a insult in all 4chan, except for /s4s/.

You're right, that's less indie comic and more capeshit comic, these days.

Is that type of aimless hipster pothead lifestyle that's portrayed in those indie comics a lot really that prevalent in the world? I guess it's just where I live, but I never see people like that anywhere nor even hear of them a lot, and it's not like I live in the richest or classiest city.
Is it just an exagerration to sell comics to people who want to live that lifestyle, kind of like how white suburb kids are obsessed with gangster rap or what?
>>82863152
I see hipster potheads everywhere, but I'm from the Pacific Northwest.

They didn't pioneer jazz, blues, or even Rock and Roll, they just mixed all of the genres that they liked in a way that had never been done before. I'll admit, to someone who might have lived in a post-Beatles world where their innovations, as well as things they simply managed to popularize, seem so common place now, it might be hard to appreciate it, but taking them on their own merits, they're still fuckjng excellent.
Bottom line is, you may not like them, but there are reasons that other people of all ages and backgrounds do.
>>82863302
Eh, that's a trope anywhere you look. Fiction is fantasy.
>>82862205
It's a common misconception and what people quote to support the idea of their greatness. It gets passed around a lot, burying the true facts from anyone who doesn't actually look into it, which is most people.
