>see comic with nice art on the cover
>inside art is by someone else, in a completely different style
AAAAAAAAAHHH
WHY THE FUCK DO THEY DO THIS
Like if it was individual issues I'd get it, there isn't enough time to do inside and cover art.
But on the collections that come out later? There's no fucking excuse to mislead the buyer like that. FUCK.
Wasn't there some old saying about books and the covers? I'm sure I heard that before...
Welcome to America.
Are you new to comic books?
>mislead the buyer
You’re being a bit over dramatic
THE COVER ART SHOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT'S INSIDE
OH THIS SKETCHBOOK SAYS IT'S SMOOTH ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT IS ACTUALLY ROUGH PAPER? WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU FEEL IT, DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER!!!
now that I'm buying comics mostly for the art, it gets really annoying when trying to find new stuff or explore
It's worse when the cover art is way better than what the actual art of the series looks like.
No, what's worse is when it suddenly has a different artist every 5-6 issues. and then suddenly it goes from cartoony to ""realism"" back and forth.
I was reading some run of Old Man Logan and I couldn't handle the artist change.
DC is just about the worst at this. I almost never trust the cover chyron to be representative of what’s happening inside the issue.
What does the inside look like?
>cover looks awesome and shows cool stuff happening
>none of that happens in the actual issue
This shit fucking infuriated and tricked me when I was just a kid. So glad most comics can be pirated or read online now.
Not Giruhiru
That artist was atrocious and I'm glad they never stayed that long.
>Cover looks like boring ass.
>Interior art is much better and story is good.
This is also too common. Most of Jim Starlin's best work has terrible covers.
Always judge a book by its cover. It's cover is what is used to get your attention, why wouldn't you trust it?
That's a variant you fucking mong
not using internet to see what the inside looks like
Welcome to my world, this is why I never really got into DC/Marvel. I read comics mainly because of art, if the artist changes all the time then what's the point?
literally no one in any commercial art industry would agree
>artists names are written on that cover of the comic
>nothing is stopping you from opening the comic to get a preview
>nothing is stopping you from looking up the artist’s name to see examples of their work
Imagine being this much of a brainlet that you actually feel “tricked” by comic covers
Know what I hate more? All the fucking crossover/multi comic narrative/stories that are so fucked up that you need to consult a guide to figure out where astory continues and what order to read it in.
>nothing stopping you...
other than the plastic wrapping on on all the paperbacks/hard covers
>looking up
yes my favorite part of buying comics, sitting down and tediously looking up artists online instead of knowing what to expect just from the cover
I just buy runs from artists I like, or non-cape stuff that comes out in numbered volumes
Your lcs sounds odd, I’ve never been to a shop that has all of their comics bagged and boarded before you buy them unless it’s already on your pull list, in which case you should know what kind of art you are paying for.
>tedious
You’re in a fucking comics shop, your time isn’t really worth so much that you can’t take 30 to use the literal access to a mountain of knowledge that you keep in your pocket. You’re whining about having to put in a little be of effort for something you hope to enjoy. Crying about cover art not matching interior art is something that held some weight say 20 or 30 years ago, but not so much these days
Imagine being this stupid that children’s picture books are too complex
>he thinks one story beginning in one book, and then picking up in the middle of multiple completely unrelated books is complexity and not convoluted nonsense
Good thing comics include a recap page, especially during crossover events isn’t it?
I hate it when they lie.
Only porn comics come wrapped in plastic you spaz.
