Where did company wars come from? Nobody actually cared about shit like that before 2000, back in my day it was indieshitters vs capeshitters, now everyone reads image while you have to pick a favorite capeshit company- why? What made this happen?

Why did you say image like that’s indie?

marvel used to insult dc all the time back in the 60s-70s

I read comics since 1996 and you're wrong. Also, indie vs capes isn't a company war, it's a real issue which was even more real in the late 90s.

Fine then, publisher owned vs creator owned, are you happy now? My point still stands.
Thomas Gutierrez
The term "independent" came from publishers who are distributed by alternative companies to the Big Two's, hence independent. The idea that only self-published comics are indie is a myth, although it is related because Diamond holds an effective monopoly on the distributor market.
Regardless, Image is considered an independent publisher.

It was still there. But if you're talking about online, it's Paid Shills.

Tbh it was op’s entire point that none of that matters anymore, image is about to overtake DC in terms of sheer sales per month. There’s been a legitimate change in the market and there’s no point denying it. Company wars have been growing exponentially as the particular brand of book they produce shrinks, it’s bizarre.

It really wasn’t though, back in 1980 nobody read from only one company, and nobody does that even today, but I’ve met at least fifty people who only read from one capeshit publisher while being entirely willing to pick up any old book from image, dark horse, or any other diamond aligned company.
It didn’t use to be so common, I assure you.

It's the movies' fault. It's always the movies' fault.
Fuck capeshit movies.

I was actually around during the 80's and 90's. There were still a lot of people who only read from one company. You just think company wars is more prevalent because you read this board and other boards, plus the paid shills are aggressively attacking other books or aggressively defending books.

You like the smell of sweat and dry jizz?

If you go to an LCS and it smells like that it’s a bad LCS

Nigger at least 70% of Image's catalog is capeshit, and so are Dark Horse's, IDW's and Dynamite's for that matter.
