Its well-known that in the late 1980s up to the mid-90s that the western comics industry was going through a major slump(one that is arguably wasn't quite as bad as the one we are going through these days). It affected every comic company, but Marvel, and to a slightly lesser extent, DC, were hit the worst of all. Not only were comics themselves steadily declining in sales, but so was merchandise, though it varied by company as to how steep the decline. Solar Man never got more than 2 issues and an animated pilot, Pryde of the X-Men didn't get a direct series, and Swamp thing got cancelled after airing for just 1 season, ditto for Ultraforce. The X-Men cartoon and 1990s DCAU were the lights in the darkness. Its during this time when Marvel filed for bankruptcy.
Then there's the slump going on now as we speak, and it might be worse than the previous one. Shoehorned politics, modern feminist agendas for plots, and needless changing of the race, sex, and such of well-established characters. This time IDW and Image comics are keeping up worse than Marvel in the comics department, and Dark Horse is bleeding licenses even now. Overall, which slump is the worse one to you?
The late 1980s-mid 1990s comics crash vs the slump hitting since 2012-2013
I'm expecting DC comics to unironically go bankrupt.
I think Marvel will before DC does. Marvel has way more dumbass ideolouges and fools as inkers and writers for their comics.
Have sex.
Marvel is crushing DC in sales.
Only in the direct market via Diamond. Its well known that, with the exception of one year when Marvel released that Moon Girl GN, DC makes way more in bookstore sales and through Scholastic.
Way more compared to Marvel's overall sales or compared to Marvel's bookstore sales? Also, aren't bookstores dying?
Simply because of the sheer number of books their selling, per capita, which is arguably more important for the health of the overall line, DC is dominating.
>Overall, which slump is the worse one to you?
easily the modern one right now. at least I still got to enjoy some comics back then but nowadays everything is the same sjw/feminist shit with tons of censorship on top and bad stories on top
Barely any superhero comics feature any actual overt sjw stuff, or is a book featuring a minority too much for you?
Ryan don't you have more Bendis and DC books to shill on your twitter?
They're to scared of change plus the constant gate keeping by annoying fanboys also afraid of change.
nice Stockholm syndrome you got there.
comics are still being censored out of the ass and heroes still written as emasculated losers to push feminist/sjw messages about how masculinity is "toxic"
all spider-man or batman these days do is cry and getting saved by women
There aren't many minorities in the comic books now a days either compared to 2017 so I don't know what the hell that user is bitching about.
>Marvel has way more dumbass ideolouges
DC payed Bendis to come to them and expected its readers to celebrate.
Nah, i just work at a comicbook store and we care more about per capita because it means that the average DC book is healthier than your average marvel one, long term readers are better for our business than ones who pop in for two issue and drop the series.
>fanboys also afraid of change.
can´t blame them if the changes are all shit and 100% for political reasons.
if the thought of seeing a drawing of a woman with big breast then maybe you should leave comics instead of trying to censor them all the time
Captian marvel hydra Agent storylines was actually pretty cool after a solid re-read
Or you know trying to appeal other demographics
Marvel is bankrolled by Disney. It might get shelved but it won't go banrrupt. DC is genuinely hemmerging money
How can either Marvel or DC go bankrupt when they're owned by rich parent companies? They could get shut down if they're not making a profit, but they're not independent entities that can really go bankrupt on their own.
>nice Stockholm syndrome you got there.
Nah, I actually just read more than just capeshit and I don't have a mental break down when a woman or a minority shows up in a comic. Let me guess, comics shouldn't have politics in them?
>comics are still being censored out of the ass
Again, I don't read just capeshit, maybe give it a chance sometime
every Wednesday I come here for storytime and every week I see the same censored female costumes, strong marie sue black female characters shutting some woke shit while saving the idiot white male hero and feminist dialogue about how white men are all privileged scum.
what I don´t see are sexy female costumes or white male heroes who actually act cool and save the day
Marvel has way more good books right now. Immortal Hulk beat fucking Batman in sales, that's unprecedented. That's how much of a joke DC is right now
Comics don't appeal to a general audience at all anymore, not because of the subject matter but mostly because the medium is obsolete as far as they're concerned. And with that lack of a general audience, the door has been left open for opportunistic idealogues and weirdos. But i think those aren't the problem, just a symptom of a poorly maintained industry. I'm genuinely worried for DC right now. They have just been bought by AT&T and their editorial is doing a chinese fire-drill. The streaming service has been all but completely scuttled, and I'm worried AT&T are going to see te comic division's extremely poor performance(Batman outsold by THE HULK) and put the kibosh on them altogether.
you can appeal to several different demographics at the same time but all comic companies have been doing for the past 6 years has been pander exclusively to people who don´t buy or even like comics while constantly attacking and alienating long time fans for having the wrong skin color, gender or political views
Its actually kinda funny that people were claiming they made cap a Nazi, despite Hydra being older than the Nazi political movement and Party. He was just a plain fascist
Also intresting Video on the subject although i disagree with alot his points i think its an okay story (he looks to deep for meaning in certian places) I enjoyed his perspective on it.
at least they marketed his arrival like a horror movie with the whole "Bendis is coming"
How are comics censored exactly?
I read comics every week. I am just not a leftwing shill
>Censored costumes
So anything that isn't a bakini or a naked body colored different is censorship?
if it´s keeps happening to every single female character there is again and again until no sexy and revealing costume is left, yeah that is censorship done for political reasons
I think they should have done an Internet style subscription service and make much older comic runs free to read online.
>Ultraforce
RIP, you were ridiculously edgy in all the right ways.
look at every female character who got a new costume over the last 6 years. you will quickly recognize a pattern .
not only in their costumes but also in their body types and the way they are drawn.
it´s as if there was a new villain in the dc and marvel universe which magically can shrink a womans breast size. female heroes who used to have d or bigger cup sizes now all have a or b with no explanation
>every female character
no I am generally angry that no female character is still allowed to show cleavage and tummy or have bigger then average breast
DC should unironically buy Shonen Jump.
So because comic artist have started to careless about cheese cake that's censorship? Whose censoring them exactly?
yes that is what I said
every single one.
be it spider-woman, huntress, starfire, etc
What is headless Spider-Man doing with that large red grenade?
>no female character
So you're mad you can't fap to Comic books anymore?
so that it can be censored as well and lose all their fans?
the feminist editors and company suits hired by disney and wb who never liked comics in the first place. they told them to no longer draw women in revealing clothes or big breast.
literally the definition of censorship
something is happening to gaming
Tifa was supposed to have her old big breast size but the equity department told them to censor her
Emma frost in secret empire
are you going to delete that post as well?
So the company is censoring it's self?
Nope no need point stands and spelling was corrected
The fact that hundreds of artists all decided to no longer draw cheesecake at the exact same time is proof that it happened due to an order from high up and not because of a their own free will.
Many artist that censor their art in comics still draw cheesecake on the side
So give us a few examples of these that happen every Wednesday. Surely if it happens every week, you'll have a nice big long list of grievances to air.
How would Disney spin it if Marvel Comics actually files for bankruptcy?
>the point stands
that´s ironic considering you literally didn´t make any point. just insults like a tumblr tranny
So because a company made a choice you don't like that means its censorship?
no
the people who never worked at comics before and who get payed regardless of sales are censoring the artists
He means if their tits aren't dragging on the ground or all look like PG, then it's "Muh censorship!!!"
user are you just mad they're pandering to people that aren't like you?
Since it was done for political reason
Yes they are trying to erase a big part of what makes comics book
And all just because sexy women trigger them eventhrough it is something that most people want to see in comics and gaming
So basically they aren't pandering to you so now your mad
>people suck Ewing's dick for his Hulk
>check it
>umm check your white gamma privilege Bruce
wew
>payed
Pajeet learn some grammar please
So they're changing and your mad they aren't using muh sex appeal
>>every Wednesday I come here for storytime and every week I see the same censored female costumes
So if it's not a bathing suit it's censorship? Have you considered that maybe design styles have simply changed?
>strong marie sue black female characters shutting some woke shit while saving the idiot white male hero and feminist dialogue about how white men are all privileged scum.
Give me two examples from today
So how exactly is that censorship? Its a company doing what they want with their characters and their staff.
not mad. I am just confused that people keep acting like sales are not in the toilet because of it.
also I am kinda confused that sjws are so close minded and easily trigged that they cant stand the idea of even a single comic featuring stuff that they don´t like
I couldn´t care less about sjw comics existing if comics which I used to like where still being released.
but no. everything has to be about sjw crap 100% of the time or sjw babies like you will cry and poop their pants in ourtrage.
oh no a women in a comic can´t possible have bigger then a cups. that would lead to the end of the world.
grow the fuck up
Ah they were competent at something or did something better then a male counterpart
Not an argument
they aren't changing
they are dying
they are Preding like something that is totally fine is worse then Hitler
sorry user. but liking sexy women is nothing to be ashamed off
actually its totally natural
not that liberals no a lot about what is normal and healthy with the whole pedo stuff and dick cutting off
they are telling artists to censor themselves eventhrought they original got into comics because they used to like drawing and writing stuff that sjws don´t like
Sjw Captian marvel was a massive success people just don't care about comic books trying to blame it on muh sjws is stupid times have changed and comics couldn't adapt
>they're telling employees to make this specific thing
So like any other business?
>Have you considered that maybe design styles have simply changed?
have you considering that maybe designs only are changing because a small minority of radcale feminist demand it?
why does every comic have to push the same feminsit and leftwing message?
do you really think that women with big breast don´t exist?
do you really think that every single women in the world hates being sexy?
do you really think only feminist approved things deserve to exist?
so much for "diversity"
They are changing they just aren't adapting
>Comics don't appeal to a general audience at all anymore, not because of the subject matter but mostly because the medium is
coping this hard.
it must be hard being a liberal
They aren't pandering to me how dare they
>its muh sjws
Must be hard being so behind the times
Except thats true though why read a comic when i can go watch a movie
I don't like SJW shit but those people aren't competent enough to wrest control of the industry away from it if it was healthy, it's like you didn't even read my whole post
These faggots from #comicsgate twitter always go on about this imaginary slump but never post numbers to back it up.
comichron.com
Comics, like all paper media, have largely lost relevancy in the modern digital age where piracy is as easy as a quick Google of "*comic title* read online" and endless articles and entertainment is in everyone's pocket thanks to smartphones. Despite this, the units have barely budged and the money in the industry has more than doubled from 2 decades ago - and yeah, that's including adjustments for inflation.
>They aren't pandering to sjws 100% of the time how dare they. this needs to be censored
>count children books and mangas in the sales to cover up the continued decline of comics
nice try shill
DC & Marvel both produced their best work from 1987 to 1993
Nice try. Even if Captain Marvel actually did make 1 billion dollars, it was more because her movie is part of the MCU rather than her comic book iteration being popular among readers. Also, profit doesn't matter much to these Pinko fools. Plus, Brie Larson is a fucking narcissist who hates her own folk, and Rotten tomatoes orchestrated the problem with "trolls review-bombing CM".
Good. Down with SJWriting!
Still no link to any of their "supposed" decline numbers.
Who's shilling who?
You did the best you could. Better luck next time.
heres how you fix the industry
>put floppies everywhere, target, wal-mart, the grocery store, gas stations, etc everywhere
>make floppies 1.99
>have tankoban style books-put iron man, spiderman, and captain america in one physical book, same with the DC Trinity.
>dont have webcomic tier art or dialogue
>dont release the comics online; physical media only
>advertise the comics with movie trailers, so show the trailer for superhero movie, and then have a vo saying "pick up issue #x today!"
i hope not, im a die hard DC fan, my monthly haul from the lcs is usually 2-3:1 DC:Marvel
The current one, by far.
People often look back at the dumb gimmicky shit from before with at least some sense of nostalgia, for how silly and stupid some of it was.
Absolutely nobody is going to look back fondly on our current "FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE" comics.
None of that fixes the dogshit writing.
I wouldnt read Bendis, Thompson, Saladin or that crazy white Muslim larper if their shit was free.
>late 1980s ... comics crash
Comics were doing great business in the late 80s. What the fuck are you talking about?
id be genuinely interdasted in the demographics who buy monthly comics
>hmmm 85% of the people who buy our comics are 27 year old straight white men who are moderate politically
>i guess that explains why no one is buying captain marvel or the unreadable squirrel girl, but batman (character) and the immortal hulk have been in the top comics for the past few months
This isn't meant as a Yea Forums vs Yea Forums thing but I GENUINELY don't understand how the manga industry thrives while the comic book industry is failing.
You would think that just the fact that America has a big population would be enough the put us ahead of Japan.
They CAN'T go bankrupt, you fucking retards. They haven't been operating at a profit in years. But as long as they're being subsidized by their parent corporations then they can continue to publish forever no matter how much money they're losing. It's the same reason Xbox still exists even though all it's ever done is blow up $10 BILLION for Microsoft.
>and it might be worse than the previous one
There's no "might". Comics sell worse now than ever before.
bendis is fine on his OC at DC because theres nothing to shit on. naomi is fine ive read the first 3 issues but action comics has been boring compared to dan jurgens' run.
bendis should write some shit for DC VERTIGO or young animal or something, the guy is good at OC but sucks at established superheroes.
It's to the point where viz is actually currently the number one comic distribution company in the us. And its only growing too
because weebs are autistic enough to buy all the volumes of a series and its easier to start reading as a complete novice compared to western superhero comics
Are you having a giggle?
His OCs are garbage. Literally every single one.
Why do retards try to claim this? There's nothing complicated about your baby-tier capeshittery. You don't even need to keep track of continuity, because the writers don't keep track of continuity either.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
>t.novelist snob.
Oh hey, I haven’t seen this thread in awhile.
Same victim discourse cry baby shit from tough guy right wingers.
Abloobloobloo
Go lick Rosanne’s ass.
So brave saying this in Trump's fourth reich.
One media is full of tits and ass the other is full of trannies and feminist
casualgaters gonna casualgate
decades of completely different development, starting with the 50s moral panic, the CCA and capeshit dominating everything else.
One interesting thing of note nowadays is that all print is dying and manga is not an exception, but publishers have done ok in lauching digital platforms.
>They could get shut down if they're not making a profit
that's what people are expecting
I wanna read One Piece.
>Start from Volume 1 and that's it
I wanna read X-men
>Oh you gotta start with Claremont, which you can find in these rare overpriced omnibuses, but if you want a more modern run you can start with Whedon's run...but you gotta read Morrison's run before it, and there's about 5 other books connecting to the 3 X-men books and....
Well I kinda like Avengers..
>Sure, you can read the original run from the 60's in these overpriced hardcovers but I don't recommend it. You can go with Hickman's run...but you gotta read his other previous comics that aren't Avengers to get a clear picture, and...
Marvel, DC, Image, etc should just go digital. I don't know anyone around my brother's age (16) who actually buys comics anymore from the comic store, most of which are fans of MCU, which should be a red flag for Marvel. Many of them who are actually interested in comics just read it online or torrents it.
There's a motion comics that Marvel produces, and I honestly in today's post-literate age, that would probably be the future of the comic's industry. Where webcomics or animated comics attract more attention and are easier to access. I don't how Marvel or DC should distribute their works in digital, though.
A monthly payment subscription sounds viable, but we all know most people are just going to pirate them or go through unofficial sites that hosts their content. Just like with music or cartoons today. And the majority don't want a subscription for only a specific franchise. Maybe a streamline product similar to Crunchyroll should exist.
All I know is that webcomics seems like a good marketing platform, and I know several webcomic artists that do make a living via Patreon or offering their comics on their site for free with advertisements. Maybe a YT or something similar that markets a webcomic channel could also work if it's distributed freely paid for by online advertisements or online donations could work.
Image used to be digital. Then they took that off their site. Can't buy digital comics there anymore.
Maybe Marvel wouldn't be dying if they kept politics out of escapist entertainment.
hi liefeld
Or do it better. Or have messages that more than only a extreme fringe of SJWs agrees with.
>I know nothing about the industry but my personal beliefs surely dictate its economic reality
Please, please kill yourself
t.dummy
Starfire wears a croptop and miniskirt you fucking mongoloid
Or just leave politics out of it entirely. Just fucking saying.
Impossible, Americans are obsessed with politics.
Its no different over there than here when it comes to success and failures. The big difference to manga is adaptation. When a manga is hot enough it has an anime which gains traction and interest to the product and when they want to catch up on the story, they go buy the manga which is ahead of the anime. And given every popular booming anime is due to it being new and easy to invest in there is no wonder why it has an international following. But key word here is POPULAR, for every 10 popular manga/animes that gets traction theirs 100 of anime/manga that get lost in the dust forgotten.
Comic books can be the most pandering souless product with females with their tits out wearing thongs or action pack fight scenes. But the narrative will always still stand if your not a fan. Why get invested in a comicbook and its story if the outcome will always be in the same position or get rebooted or retconned in a couple of years? You can't say that to things like MHA or even One Piece because those who read it know theres an ending and conclusion in sight and whether it will be disappointing or not they will stand and defend the journey they had along the way and why they got invested. The journey was always an explanation on why people keep reading DC or Marvel but as time passes it becomes harder to defend that when the majority of the stories are design to reset the narrative and play it safe. Its even harder to get invested when that new direction they eventually take is so generic and uninspiring and immediatly reset when it barely gets its own ground. Theres so much wrong with the industry that goes past SJW that even when all is said and done they will still use those same practice that just eat up the industry as a whole
>Read the recent Spiderman-2099 comic, there are random anti-Trump messages, an anti-2A and a pro-immigrant Muslim message that literally has nothing to do with the series in the first issues or so.
It didn't bother me as much, but it's those kinds of random conversations and blatant posturing similar to the image posted here that turns off a lot of non-Leftists and non-political folks off from a comic. My cousin dropped 2099 because the writer just seems more interested with expressing his political leanings rather than Miguel's struggles living in the modern world, his concern for his future timeline, and his clear concern of his religious faith, despite claiming he's atheist.
There's also Marvel comic I forgot the name that he dropped because it depicted a future where a non-White Female Muslim was elected president. He didn't hate it, he just found the concept absurd even by comic standards that he couldn't continue reading.
Full metal alchemist
Comics themselves, yes indeed, but not movies or TV shows based on them, no. X-Men Cartoon had a hard time getting greenlit past the pilot.
#NotAllAmericans
for me, its savage sword of conan and the fantastic four
ITT: Seething MARVELfags upset about loosing to BASED DC
It's sad seeing great comic artists working for for the Big Two, only to find out that despite working years, if not decades, in the industry that they're struggling to get by and barely making higher than minimum wage.
Meanwhile, Penny Arcade, Winston Rowntree, Jeph Jacques and other web comic artists who aren't even trying are earning six figures with minimial work as possible, some times not even creating more than 6 panels on a weekly basis.
It just seems better for these artists to start their own webcomic or fund their own work through online donations than to keep working for Marvel or DC for peanuts.
The correct answer is to go back to the days when superheroes were used to dab on the United States' enemies, which means they should be slaughtering sandniggers 24/7.
This, if they were really going to follow actual real life politics Cap would be in the middle east bashing isis rejects with his shield.
>It's sad seeing great comic artists working for for the Big Two, only to find out that despite working years, if not decades, in the industry that they're struggling to get by and barely making higher than minimum wage.
Welcome to professional drawfaggotry. A stern reminder to follow your dreams on the side only.
>Theres so much wrong with the industry that goes past SJW
This is the big one for me. SJW's are cancer, but the truth is that decades of incompetence since the 50's from the Big 2 and other companies have fucked up the medium here. The CCA, the capeshit monopoly, the crash and how it made Diamond. Please let us have a moment like the World Cup fiasco that exposes how terrible this industry truly is.
At least the Codes Code Authority weakened in the 70s and 80s, then eventually was shut down in 2011.
*Comics Code Authority
>The late 80s-mid 90s
>A slump
What youtuber did you get your facts from, user?
I just want my mind numbing comics about Wonder Woman being a selfless person and Peter Parker not making deals with Mephisto.
Quora and the fact that Marvel was in major debt at the time and their stock was plummeting so much that they Had to file for bankruptcy. in 1996.
>Codes Code Authority
Regulations for regulations? By god, how devious. But in all serious, by then the damage had already been done. Comics were (and to an extent STILL) are seen as a mostly kids based thing when the board effectively died during the LCS craze, despite your average reader being mad old.
DC comics went from Number One with a bullet in trade sales to like number eight this year. Bruh they are getting slaughtered. You DC-only fans are fucking delusional.
The early 90s was the biggest moneymaking era in comic history, do more research
It was major in all the areas that wasn't the actual comics. Marvel filed for bankruptcy for a reason.
Didn't DC win last month? Or was it this month?
I'm so confused.
kill yourself slag
DC pretty much always has the top selling comics every month, they just release far less comics than nuMarvel does.
So when people say "le market share", they mean the thousands of shitty comics that nuMarvel floods the market with every month produce slightly more income than the few comics that DC published.
>slump
It's over, idiot. The industry is finished.
Learn how to read real books without pictures.
It wasn't a slump, it was a crash, you fucking moron. You may say bad decisions in the industry starting in the 80s lead to it, but business wasn't doing bad. In fact sales were great, Marvel flooded the market with shit trying to push out the competition from store placement and got hit bad by this but business wasn't bad until 93-94.
Stop parroting how marvel was filing for bankruptcy, you underage retard. We all know that.

youtube.com
unironically the best source on what happened in the 90s crash. Too bad it's in the form of hours of youtube video.
Id like to see that
So a company doing what they want with their comics is now censorship?
What ever helps you cope why wasn't solo A success despite being part of starwars?
I just want to see Marvel & DC burn already. Years of this downward spiral, refusing to change course or format. It's all gonna come to a head. No one's buying the comics unless they're gonna destroy them. Trades are flooding overstock stores. Movies are only moderately successful but even normies are starting to get fed up with the obvious wokeness shoved in. People just want fun inspiring stories with impact. Neither of the big two can provide this.
Marvel Comics are testbeds for the MCU. Marvel is literally making billions.
The 90s slump is worse, by far, because back then DC and Marvel where most of the comics industry, and nowadays they're not really that important in the grand scheme of things
Marvel could never sell a single comic again, they'll never go out of business as long as they're cranking out IPs for the MCU
>Marvel Comics are testbeds for the MCU.
Yeah, I'm sure we're going to get that "West Coast Avengers" movie any day now.
>There's also Marvel comic I forgot the name that he dropped because it depicted a future where a non-White Female Muslim was elected president. He didn't hate it, he just found the concept absurd even by comic standards that he couldn't continue reading.
Does your friend live in America? A black dude was president for eight years and then a woman won the popular vote by a several-point margin. A woman is in second place for the 2020 Democratic nomination, and a non-white woman is in fifth place with (according to betting market PredictIt) a 10% chance of winning
Also, young people are more racially diverse than older generations and the long-term implications of this fact is the single most important thing in American politics?
>Also, young people are more racially diverse
anti-white*
>Obama
>Black
Stop right there. Obama isn't black. He's mixed, raised by his white mother and her white grandparents. They've done polls of this, and Muslims are literally the least likely to be voted in the majority.
Source: news.gallup.com
>While more than nine in 10 Americans would vote for a presidential candidate who is black, a woman, Catholic, Hispanic, or Jewish, significantly smaller percentages would vote for one who is an atheist (54%) or Muslim (58%).
Being non-White and female to the list would only lower the Muslim candidate's chances of winning against a Straight Christian Male.
>there are people who would unironically vote for a Muslim
why
No way it could go bankrupt. If anything, Warners will just retain the characters and gut the publishing arm. No need to waste money on comics no one in buying, but they make waaaay too much money on DC superhero merch to ever get rid of it.
Hell, I wouldn't mind if Warners put a hold on DC publishing. I went by a store the other day and saw some of the new titles. Aside from Morrison's Green Lantern, it all looked like complete trash. I gave up reading DC like seven years ago. The only stuff I've bought in the past few years are original issues or trades of stuff from the 70s-90s.
The 90s is worse because it basically destroyed the industry. The slump we're feeling now is just a continuation that. At this rate I don't think the industry will recover.
It's called a speculation bubble, moron. Comics were NOT doing good in the 1990s. It was an illusion. I bet you would argue that the housing market was fantastic around 2006 and 2007.
It doesn't matter if he's mixed. He looks black, everyone who see's him will think he's black, and he himself identifies as black. If you look like a black guy it doesn't really matter how you were raised or what you think you are, everyone in the world will still see and treat you as black.
I wouldnt be surprised if they stopped making comics all together and focused on Blockbusters and animated movies.
Americans aren't going to elect a Jewish candidate for high office, let alone a Muslim one. That's like expecting the Philippines, France, or India to elect a Muslim President in their country, because Muslims make up the second or third highest religious group in their respective nations, ignoring the fact that the majority exists that won't find it tolerable to have a religious minority rule them. Especially one that defines their religion as a political system and culture via Sharia law that is meant to supplant the indigenous culture.
You know, given how much DC/Marvel wants the social justice-y webcomic fandom, it's a little insane that Jeph Jacques and Dave Willis and the like aren't getting job offers thrown at them, when they actually have a track record of appealing to that crowd and selling well. Willis in particular built his webcomic empire off Batman jokes, give him a Batman Adventures non-canon one shot and see what happens.
They need to get better at reaching out to webcomics for talent in general. Why the hell is the Bee and Puppycat person doing Hellcat art when Ashley Cope is available?
>Americans aren't going to elect a Jewish candidate for high office, let alone a Muslim one
There are people alive today who remember when America wouldn't elect a Catholic and JFK being one (and not just any Catholic, an IRISH Catholic!!) was a big controversy. Shit changes. Republicans nominated a Mormon in 2012, Democrats nearly nominated a Jew in 2016 and may do it this time.
>catholics are the same as jews and muslims
moron
JFK affiliated as a Catholic, which is still a Christian denomination, and was still European, which is still White Caucasian. The Irish oppression wasn't as awful the Chinese or African discrimination. I honestly doubt the majority of Christians today can even notice differences in Christian denominations, let alone explain why it's important. Are you honestly telling me that White Evangelicals, the Latino Catholics, and Black Protestants will vote for a Arab Muslim over a Christian? It isn't happening. Keep in mind that Americans still voted in Obama and Hilary, even though both figures clearly aren't religious and probably couldn't even tell their voters why a Triune Deity is so fundamental to Christian theology. The mere fact that they still have to identify as Christian and pretend they care about such an identified demonstrates why religion plays a vital role in American politics.
Nepotism?
