#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[Iron Father]

They're only able to do that because they have the backing of the mainstream comic book industry and all the complacent collectors support them and self-censor because they just have to have some shitty new Daredevil book.

The only way I see it changing is if enough people abandon the mainstream industry and support the indies.

"SJWs" move from power structure to power structure because they don't have popular support, so instead they get corporate support and what a surprise the consumers support the corporations which the "SJWs" use to fuck over the consumers. Stop feeding the power structure and you render the "SJWs" powerless.

I just want to clarify that this isn't any kind of hyperbole. From one of Zack's streams:

EDIT: I don't think this is literally by Bendis, but this kind of nonsense is everywhere now.

Tom King’s writing has been going downhill for me ever since the Batman wedding issue. It put some stuff into perspective for me. Tom King’s ‘Gift’ (Batman issues 45-47) was basically Bruce Wayne torture porn. King apparently just wanted to write the most edgy shit ever:

Spoiler: Careful, the edges are sharp

First the state of the Bat Family:
Dick Grayson became the Punisher:

Tim is at a dead end job:

Jason (weirdly enough) is the only person to come out unscathed:

Duke got lobotomized:

Damian doesn’t exist:

Summary:
Booster Gold want to give Batman a wedding present, but King’s version of Booster is such an utter retard that I’m shocked he can even dress himself:

The edge starts in the first page of the story with a Jokerized Hal Jordan killing himself:

After having his time machine smashed by Bruce Wayne (in issue 45), Booster comes up with a “great” idea. He breaks out Catwoman from the mental asylum and brings her into the Wayne mansion in an attempt to make them fall in love, it doesn’t work and she kills Alfred:

After killing Alfred, she starts mauling Daddy Wayne, Batman joins the fray and a shoot out insues:

After fixing Skeets and holding Booster prisoner, Bruce threatens to kill Booster if he doesn’t go back in time to save his parents. Instead Booster brings him to the original night of his parents death. Try and guess how this ends?:

Conclusion? It was all set-up for King’s event, Heroes in Crisis. The worst part of this is the art, it’s fucking beautiful. I hate when bad stories get amazing artists.

Heather Antos wants back into the Kewl Komics Klub, looks like that e-sports betting website wasn't her dream job after all

Must be tough with all those toxic pros reminding her everytime that someone called her a “cum dumpster”. Yaboi did it once, pros do it everyday. And yet she still wants to come back, is she a masochist?

How about a GOOD Batman story?

I’m sure he means well, but maybe, just maybe, keeping the dumbass twitter politics out of the work you're trying to sell to people might be a better idea?:

LOL. Bitch, no one came to your house or sent you bomb threats. You got made fun of for being one of the biggest THOTs in comics. All you have to do is GTFO of Twitter, but we all know that attention whores like you would rather have your uterus scraped with a rusty spoon than go 5 minutes without letting everyone see all the mental turds you squeeze out.

I'd forgotten about this abortion of an arc. Thanks so much for reminding me.

It's especially infuriating as the original hook for Booster was that he was only perceived as a goof; in actuality he was out doing heroic stuff, but because of the nature of time changes nobody would know.

Nobody but Batman, that is. See, one of the first things Booster had tried to fix was preventing Barbara Gordon from getting shot by the Joker. This was one of those arcs where the retcon... actually kind of worked out. Prior to putting Barb in a wheelchair, Joker beat the holy hell out of Booster and of course took pictures, which Batman found and sat on until Booster had, in Bats's words, 'grown up'. While Booster hadn't succeeded, he had earned Batman's respect, and silence. It was a neat story.

Watching Booster act like he has literal brain damage in this is like gouging chunks of my frontal lobes out with a spoon and eating them.

That technically wasn't booster's original pitch but the changes Geoff Johns made to the character in one of dc's relaunches.

But it's one of Johns' changes i totally agreed with and got me invested in Booster as DC's timeline protector.

Too bad they've generally wasted it. And i say this Tom King story is an inferior copy of "to kill a legend" i posted above. And screw what he did to Booster.

The only time I remember something like this ever working out was Richard Pryor being a co-writer on Blazing Saddles...so he can write the white peoples' dialogue (including coming up with Mongo).

Brooks actually had a lot of hassle even having Pryor on the project at all. He'd wanted to have him play the role Cleavon Little ended up playing (and slaying). This wasn't so much a black thing as that Pryor was on lots of cocaine at the time and acting seriously erratically. It would have probably worked, as did subsequent Pryor/Wilder outings like Silver Streak and Stir Crazy (and Pryor was in even worse shape for those).

"so mentally toxic and unsafe".

LOL. Bitch, no one came to your house or sent you bomb threats. You got made fun of for being one of the biggest THOTs in comics.

Every single fucking thing these insufferable cunts whine about like it's the fucking Holocaust is shit every single male in media deals with every goddamn day without making a big production out of it.

You want to create shit for a mass audience like the big boys?

Well put on your fucking big boy pants and deal with the moronic abuse from a bunch of basement dwellers just like everyone else.

What a long winded way of saying "I miss getting loads of asspats on social media from people who don't even buy the books I was responsible for editing but didn't even know their release dates".

The sad thing is, an often overlooked issue with the Big 2 is the lack of competent editors. Editors in comics are like the business management departments in vidya and television where all the creative types all bemoan them as being the fuddy-duddy sticks in the mud who only serve to stifle the creative types, but more often then not those same creative types would churn out nothing but garbage (or in some cases we’ve seen, just plain nothing) without those sticks keeping track of things like sensible budgets and time management and yanking the artist’s chain every once in a while to tell them their pitch is stupid.

Heather was not such an editor however. In fact, Heather pretty much exemplified everything wrong with Marvel’s (and to a certain extent, DC’s) current editorial staff in that they act like their purpose is to shower the writers and artists with praise and maybe sometime correct a spelling mistake - though often not even that - because they don’t have the backbone or desire to tell anyone “no” and don’t see their job as being part of a business. They’re like those managers who are so concerned with their underlings liking them that they lose sight of the fact they’re supposed to be running a business and the end result is productivity plummets because said underlings walk all over them.

I just want to clarify that this isn't any kind of hyperbole. From one of Zack's streams:

EDIT: I don't think this is literally by Bendis, but this kind of nonsense is everywhere now.

The tricks like this, like repeating an image of a blank expression so that the character being depicted can be seen pausing before delivering a punchline or something are beyond irritating, and should be excised from comics writing.

It's one of those comic book tricks that have become popular in an era where you can find books that are constructed almost completely out of widescreen panels, most of which utilize the same basic film tricks that even the most low-grade television show has.

Not sure of context or source other than being a Marvel thing but the salt levels must be increasing astronomically lately.

There are children smashing action figures together right now coming up with more creative and compelling stories than Bendis has in the last 20 years of his career.

Which is funny since we did once have some SJW saying "For people who hate the new characters so much, they seem to know an awful lot about them! Sites are promoting piracy!" as if it's not their audience talking to them and word of mouth spreads. I don't think any intimate details why [insert nuMarvel character here] sucks is news to anyone.

This is webcomic tier shit writing and strawmanning. Pure amateur hour garbage. It's incidentally also a perfect example of what people are actually complaining about: amateurish deviantart-tier fucking garbage sold at premium prices. Fuck these talentless hacks.

I mean....this is the kind of shit that DnC or Ethan van Schriver would say is just some over the top parody of what marvel does and yet...here it is. Marvel comics is pouring literally everything into FACK YOU CRITICS! FACK YOU READERS! SURELY NOW THE TUMBLR PEOPLE WILL START PAYING FOR OUR SHIT ANY MINUTE NOW!!!

Like who is even the audience for this? Nobody...I mean NOBODY wants to read a comic thats nothing but a furious tantrum against people who disagree with the writer on fucking twitter, even goddamn ultra-woke SJWs wont even bother pirating this let alone buying it.
