She'll die someday.

I think the consistecy that’s the biggest draw for me. In manga it’s extremely rare for either the writer or artist to not finish the book together. One of the things I enjoy most about manga is watching the artist improve from chapter to chapter.If this was true then Manga would not be a thing. Go to any brick and mortar book store and they have entire section devoted to manga, and you will always have to say "excuse me" to someone else in the aisle. People are buying the weeb versions of comic books to the point it has its own dedicated section at Barnes and Nobles. Incidentally, they don't sell Western comics.
This is no accident. Manga is selling, because it has compelling stories and competent artistry. This should be a golden age of Western comics due to the success of the movies and it's not. The reason is not the consumer side of the equation, it's entirely supply side. The Japanese comics artists are selling what people want and the American comics artists are not. No 10 year old boy wants to go to a comic store after having seen Winter Soldier and then discover Captain America is now a Nazi because some danger haired SJW decided to write a woke story.
Carl Barks has to be my favorite in that list. Sadly, even his IP isn't immune to unnecessary tinkering.
Did you see the Ducktales reboot? The characters are hideous and Webby (who didn't exist in the comics) is now the adventurous one while Huey, Duey and Louie seem like they're on a steady diet of soy.

There's no winning with these people.
Comics are fucking expensive today. They don't even look like comics anymore, but glossy graphic novel magazines. I remember buying comics for less than seventy-five cents which had 32 pages of story in them, maybe 24 pages for the main story and 8 for a short back up story, the kind they don't make anymore. Now, a typical comic has what, 20 pages of story in it and yet costs like four bucks. There's no time to tell a fucking story, so everything is dumbed down and feels condensed. Plus, they burn off some of those few precious pages with pointless splash panels that cover two pages! One comic I read had TWO of those! And that was back when I last bought comics, maybe eight years ago. The amount of story you get today isn't worth the money you have to spend unless you really, really love comics. And now they're having all this SJW bullshit being injected into them. On top of that, some of these #woke creators are outright telling the Old Guard who has been bleeding cash to keep the industry alive to go fuck off with their dinosaur ideas because social justice.
"There will never be another Fred Astaire," as the saying goes, and it goes equally well in comics today. The meaning behind that phrase isn't that nobody could ever dance at least as well as Fred Astaire, but that all of the Hollywood apparatus behind the scenes that helped shape and nurture Astaire's success and mystique no longer exists. The in-house musical departments, the public relations teams, the teams of knowledgeable musical comedy filmmakers, the choreographers, costumers, advertising departments, all of that stuff, it's all gone. There's no "factory" for movies anymore, so there's no support structure to create another Fred Astaire, no matter how talented a given dancer today may be.
Comics don't have the room in them to tell stories which justify the price on the cover. They're also no longer in regular corner drug stores like they used to be (where I remember once buying a Gold Key "Star Trek" for like twenty-five cents a very, very long time ago). This is a bad combination that has hurt the industry's market share in almost catastrophic ways. Plus, of course, the fact corporations have bought up the big houses, and now they just make comics as another "channel" of merchandise to gobble up more cash, and pay starvation wages to the people who make them. The greats who cared are all but gone. Editors, Writers, Pencillers, Inkers, Colorists, all of them, replaced by low-rent hacks pushing SJ. By driving the fans away with that crap, it will only hasten the end of the comic book.
So in comics, there will never be another Curt Swan, another George Perez, another Jack Kirby, another Will Eisner, another Gil Kane, another Dick Giordano, Stan Lee, Keith Geffen, Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Marv Wolfman, Roy Thomas, or Carl Barks.
And that makes me very sad.
t don't you usually fire someone who fails to bring in any profit and is constantly causing bad PR? How have these comic companies not gone bankrupt yet?
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a similar thing happen with My Little Pony, namely they included a fan made character without knowing its creator was a raging SJW misandrist?This is what happens when you allow sjws into the comic book industry.![]()

From those pictures of her, how far off could her 80th birthday be? A couple of weeks?I doubt they'll even be done by the time she's 80.

Back on topic here, I had no idea that Fowler worked on DC so I went and looked her up. Thankfully her output there is very minimal.
Also he knew damn well it'd piss off the bronies. He hated them and the fandom in general, he also agreed with a lot of SJW viewpoints.A guy named Ted Anderson did that, for the IDW comic. The SJW in question was dragondicks, or candygorefuck, a pervert who drew pedophilic guro with cute baby animals. We have a thread on that lunatic that has more details in it somewhere.

Oh God, she looks like the penguin with ugly tits.View attachment 471293
Tess is living proof that cuntiness prematurely ages you. She's only in her mid-30s, but looks like a fucking dinosaur.
They like using Nazi because it's practically a meaningless word at this point. A Nazi is just someone you can project everything you hate onto. Nazis are whatever they need to be (racist, sexist, Christian, anti-immigration, whatever...) It has nothing to do with actual nazis, most of whom were gone by the 1960s. It's the SJW equivilant of calling someone a sinner. You are a Nazi and therefor bad-wrong and undeserving of being listened to.Even if you did write a story with "captain America becoming a nazi" it's not what's bad about entirely. I think there was an already an alternate universe, eg. Where superman was a Nazi. I'm guessing (badly) that it was a way to explore the whole "what if superman was bad" idea and the best kind if villain people could imagine back then was a Nazi (edit: looking it up though, this comic was written when? Actually scratch that last line). I think his pod just fell in a bad place and instead of being raised by farmers he was raised by someone else.
These days you have a plethora of kinds of villains you can come up rather than focusing on things like purity or racism. Your imagination could go stretch here but in this case they don't and villains end up being cookie cut without the excuse of being in that era where people were still dealing with WW2.
The preachiness that a comic might entail might kill it. Who would be the heroes in the comic? If it was good superman vs bad superman, yeah, cool (not sure how that story ended) but if it's a plucky group of people who are magically immune to the power of Nazi's by not being white / male/ heteronormative / whatever that's where it gets bad.
Maybe SJWs tend to focus on calling people Nazi's because that's the only kind of evil they know.
This is a very interesting idea and something I'm actually familiar with. The big mining companies in Australia have been doing this with iron ore, selling it in such bulk and at such low prices that smaller mining groups can't possibly compete, allowing the big mines to swoop in and claim more land, talent, etc...The conspiracy theory de jur is that Marvel ( a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company...) is using it's position as a market leader to attempt to tank the entire comics industry and bankrupt everyone who can't go 2-3 years totally in the red (everyone but them and maybe D.C.) and end up as the only major player left in the industry.

It's mindblowing that the majority of this shitheads has high level education, yet they still use Marxists books to draw their strategies without realizing said books were written almost 200 years ago, today we have internet, there's no room for Illuminati like bullshit, you can't kick someone from any art industry.Marvel can try shit the market until the little guys die off (not something unexpected from Disney) but the little teams aren't ever going to really die.
What the fuck is this face she keeps doing?:

While the thread is about someone involved in comics there were a few posts going off topic into the comics industry in general (which someone reported). Please keep the discussion more focused on the lolcow.
I assume you were all talking about #comicsgate so I would suggest talking about the wider nature of the comics industry in the #comicsgate thread (if that's what you were discussing):
