Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[damian]

But it is now hidden from the profane eyes of Amerifats like me. Why would they do that?

Damn that was quick, I think they privated the video. I’m an American you can’t block me from watching any video!

I will upload my archived video later today.

Goddamn, would you look at that like to dislike ratio.

Jim Jeffries show took down their video:

So was it Jeffries who realized he had been used like a cum rag? Or did the anti-comicsgate pussies realize that claiming to be complete victims while working for the biggest corporations in comics and being able to call down air strikes from major media networks pretty much blew their shit message out of the water?

Goddamn, would you look at that like to dislike ratio.

The original one was around 3k likes and >11k dislikes iirc.

EDIT:
I wasn’t that far off mark:

Erik Larsen also got blown out on twitter today, too lazy to capture right now

Does it have to do with this Tweet?

 

[RockVolnutt]

Does it have to do with this Tweet?

If we take things at face value then who is saying transgender people should be marched into gas chambers and how is demanding less political sperging and the classic characters any where equivalent to it? Are we just hyping up how much of a "big deal" this is without considering what we're arguing about in the first place?

 

[Water-T]

"advocating that transgender people be marched into gas chambers"

Erik, please put down that crack pipe. Get help.

.....Who the sugar-frosted fuck is advocating this?

Don't you know? Saying anything that isn't glowing praise of transsexuals is secretly a dogwhistle calling for their extermination.

"I ate a tuna fish sandwich for lunch today" roughly translates into "Trannies need to die in a fire while being gassed"

34 fucking covers!: https://www.newsarama.com/40200-fantastic-four-1-variant-covers.html

Words from Tom bREEEEEEvort:

“We made you wait years for this and now you’ll have to wait one month more, you guilible fucks. Thanks for the high #1 orders, be sure to order just as many for #2 where the actual FF are going to appear.”:

Spoiler: Impossible “Fans”:

Also , some CG sperg beat me to it:

Given my first experience with comics was the Fantastic Four, watching an out of touch douche like Brevoort tease a reunion rather than just do it and have a realpeople comic in the process is hideous. Though not as idiotic or hideous as how morons are still trying to collect this shit because it has a #1 on it.

 

[TowinKarz]

Seriously, anyone who thinks a #1 is ever going to have value that THEY will see, personally, was not paying attention for the entirety of how speculators pitching collectibles as viable investments destroyed baseball cards in the late 80's and then almost did the same to comics in the early 90's.

The reason why Honus Wagner and Action Comics #1 are worth fortunes is because nobody thought to put one in a sealed climate-controlled environment to keep it pristine, thus only a few remain.

When everyone is sitting on a hermetically sealed version of a Z-list #1 with a hologram sticker that still works from 1993, they're worth NOTHING. Probably even less than what you paid for it new.

New Comichron numbers are out, can’t wait for Ron Marz to make an ass out of himself yet again:

“SEE INTERNET COMIC MAN BAD, HE DUMB, ME SMART, ME KNOW WHATS UP!”

There was a shit ton of #1’s from Marvel and a couple from DC. DC has the Batman (50) wedding which pulled 440k orders, Catwoman #1 and a few other specials. his is pre-returns after the total shit show that was the story and the spoiler reveal the weekend before the issue came out, DC was forced to make the book returnable. So that 440K might go down within the next couple weeks.

Marvel had new X-Men titles, new Amazing Spider-Man, new Captain America, a new event book and so on. Overall a heavy new #1 month.

It's incredible how low the numbers are compared to the US population,and alot of them are de facto gimmick issues or nr 1
I suppose this is what happen when you kick the kids out the funny papers (because they are funny papers no more)
Maybe those entitled fucks who spend more time spergin on twitter instead of writing decent stories will remember them when Marvel or DC stops paying their bills,but i bet they will pull a Skinner and double down in their creed again

The kids have been kicked out of comics for years. The adults largely took it over.

Heck even those old school classic #1’s are coming down in price, for a predictable if not obvious reason. I was just in my LCS and someone commented on the increase in affordable classic Silver Age books lately. Yeah, it’s because those who have been holding the collections are aging and dying off, and their stuff is hitting the market. The comics aren’t getting rarer. The people who care about and are willing to pay top dollar for “the first appearance of XYZMan!” Are.

And here’s the truly vicious cycle of it. My LCS is selling more of those classic books than new. A New Marvel comic costs ~$5 for an absolute dogshit story. A slightly worn C list Silver Age Book, say “Master of Kung Fu” or “Marvel Team Up” will run you $2-3, for a much much better story in every way possible. Even if it’s an oddball character it’s still better than the new crap.

I wouldn’t refer to those pink haired gender confused snowflakes curretly working for Marvel as “adults”

A shame too, really. That was what those my age did as kids back before the 90's changed everything.

Here's some sales info from Peter Simeti - Owner of Alterna comics

While this info may be statistically biased and not reflect the whole of American comic stores, i can't see comic stores staying open if they are only able to shift ~50% of stock weekly. This also gives good information for comicchron numbers (sales to stores) to find out how many customers bought the product, you can on average halve all numbers provided. The industry is likely even worse off than many indicators show.

Marvel are only quickening their demise by over shipping and variant covers requiring huge normal cover purchases too.

Spoiler: Here's some shots from a DnC follower

This store must have bought ~300 Fantastic Four #1 total and had 2 more days to shift the inventory before new books come in (photos said to be taken on a Sunday). How the fuck does Marvel or anyone think that this can be sustainable.

I don’t think Marvel has cared about sustainability in a long time. They’re more about the short term goal of tricking enough stores to move enough units for shipment and then go back to not giving a fuck what the readers think before they start the whole process over for the next batch of #1s.
