>Writer Gabby Rivera and artist Royal A. Dunlap are teaming up for “b.b. free,” a new original comic book series set in a world where a disease called “the Plague That Ate Greed” has wiped out the extremely wealthy, and natural disasters have disrupted everything else. The title will be released from Boom! Studios’ Boom! Box imprint. >Announced Monday, the coming-of-age series will follow young b.b. free who lives with her father in the Florida Islands. A teen whose limited contact with the rest of the world is through her radio show, b.b. eventually stumbles upon a secret that could tear apart her family and their tight-knit community. >Learning there’s a lot her father has not been telling her is just the nudge b.b. needs to finally venture into the world outside her swamp in search of the truth. And readers can expect b.b. also to figure out some truths about herself along the way.
Will it get as many great reviews as her run on America? Will its sales be even betterer? How much cringe/woke will be crammed into each issue?
Lincoln Price
>Comic book fans perhaps know Rivera best from her time as the writer of “America,” Marvel’s first solo series about the queer Latina superhero America Chavez, which launched in 2017. The queer Puerto Rican author’s 2016 debut novel, “Juliet Takes a Breath,” is being re-published in September. >“’b.b. free’ is a bouncy love letter to queer kids everywhere, especially the chubby Puerto Rican ones,” added Rivera. >The new series arrives as there is increasing scrutiny about the dearth of Latinx representation in media. Some have even pointed out how this lack of Latinx stories and storytelling is not only problematic, but dangerous.
A disease that only infects rich people? How fucking stupid.
Nathaniel Davis

I'm amazed anyone will hire her.
Justin Robinson
I don't think subtlety is part of the program for that product.
John Bennett
Was she fired from marvel?
Carter Ortiz
She got FAT. More like Flabby Rivera!
Jaxon Clark
>Lack of latinx representation in media Why do people think media= just hollywood? There are plenty of films being produced in Latin america with Latin america casts.
Angel Hughes
Seriously, how the fuck does this shit even work? There's no gene that only really rich people have so how does a disease only effect people with a ton of money?
Luis Anderson
>Gabby is a Beto O'Rourke tier "pretends to be a spic" sort
>no gene that only really rich people have Do you honestly not see where this is going? hint: it's the gene for white skin
James Morris

Brody Lopez
It might sound stereotypical, but with that whole pitch it's highly possible it's gonna be all the whites hetero whites that dies.
Adrian Edwards
>disasters and plague have broken down the world >there's STILL terrible radio show's run by dipshit teenagers Jesus Christ there isn't a single aspect of this that doesn't appear custom tailored to aggravate my anus
Nah, a girl becoming a man is anathema to Gabby's way of doing things. But if we do meet a m*le character, trust that he's a tranny waiting to bloom as soon as a strong brown womyn breaks him out of his patriarchal society's oppressive mindset
Gavin Foster
>Gabby gets two bites at the apple even though she fucked up with America
I don't get it, there are tons of decent webcomics writers and artists who don't even get to talk to comic book studios yet her half-baked ideas get the greenlight. Is it really just all about connections?
A product or substance that only the super wealthy could get their hands on and possibly hoarded.
Nicholas Sullivan
>implying Latinos and Latinx people are the same thing
It's literally a word third+ generation spics in the US came up with for themselves because they have no cultural connection to their home countries but refuse to consider themselves american.
Wyatt Sanders
They most likely only understand English.
Parker Williams
So it doesn't just effect the very wealthy, because the majority of Americans are white and only a tiny percentage of Americans are "extremely wealthy?" Fuck, why even hide it and not just straight up say "a disease that almost wipes out white people?" It's not like they've hidden how much they hate whites for a decade now.
Easton Price
This looks predictably awful and all but I wouldn't mind some lewds of the fat one. Because here in America we totally care about other cultures just not enough to actually consume their unfiltered media.
Christian Hughes
The absolute barest benefit of the doubt is that it'd be something equally retarded but different like it being CIRCUMSTANTIAL that it kills all rich people. Like the plague starts, all the rich (read, white) people lock themselves in bunkers but WHOOPS because they locked themselves in they can escape when one of them who is already infected causes it to spread But I wouldn't put it past them to just have a whyte killing disease outright
Adrian Martinez
>Is it really just all about connections?
80% of the time, unfortunately, yes.
Nepotism will never, ever go away. China tried the whole 'meritocracy' thing before any other modern civilization first and even THAT immediately folded over.
Leo Parker
Maybe it's a man-made disease or something?
Jayden Cook
>Will it get as many great reviews as her run on America? Of course. This isn't even a question. It will win 2 Eisners as well. But Eisners are meaningless these days anyway.
>Will its sales be even betterer? You already know the answer to this one.
How much cringe/woke will be crammed into each issue? No one will ever know because no one will read it. I definitely won't.
Jonathan Moore
I know and it pisses me off Hyphen-Americans boast about their racial backgrounds being important to their identity but refuse to view media produced in their place of origin and demand white westerners include them in their productions. Its nonsensical.
Leo Sullivan

Liam Rogers

Aiden Wright
I mean, at least vary up the facial expression/body language a bit. Why is every character "confident teenager"
Connor Powell
>Japan comic industry is mostly by merits and it works I dunno if that's necessarily true. It's certainly better, but a lot of the big names were apprentices to other big names.
Christian Morales
More like the pay is probably shit. So only someone like her is willing to take it. If you're a successful and talented webcomic creator why would you go to the shithole that is marvel comics?
Brayden Sullivan
OH THANK GOD we have an ugly lesbian who doesn't shave her legs.
Noah Baker
I wish apprenticeship was still a thing. Everything costs too much nowadays for unpaid internships unless you fall into the most magical of financial circumstances.
Daniel Ross
>apprentices But that's the thing - all you need to be taken on as an apprentice is to have talent and be able to work hard. If you finished an apprenticeship you have paid your dues and earned your spot.
Justin Jones
You get your foot in the door, sure. But if One Piece wasn't popular it would've been cancelled. It wouldn't have mattered that Oda assisted Watsuki.
Owen Taylor
the fuck do they even want with it stop being cunts and take the damn money
Brody Gutierrez
you don't get "apprentices" jobs like you get a waiter job in the USA. They have contests to get published, and just because you are an assistant doesn't mean you'll get anything better in your life. it's more like "one in a hundred" kind of deal.
Lincoln Morris
Maybe it's because a good portion is porn which should be walled off from every normie on this planet.
Angel Hughes
It's not even how society works. You wipe out all the rich people, give it about five to ten years and a bunch of new ones take their place. Rich people isn't a fucking species or race, it's a status, and status is obtainable. Especially when there's no one currently sitting in that status.
We don't all start singing kumbaya because the rich die. If anything it would be likely to cause riots and war because everyone would want to be the new upper class.
Jose Harris
People have been cyclically failing to understand this for all of human history A good revolution is undertaken for hate's sake, really. No pretending it's gonna be the magical solution to all problems, just that you want to fucking kill one cuntfuck group and asking as many other cuntfuck groups to join you as possible
Christian Gomez
I hope the plague is still a thing in the story I can't wait to read story times about the characters nearly dying because they find a penny on the floor, making them the richest person in town.
Liam Carter
Only when it's convenient for them.

Oh you know b.b. and her compatriots will all live in socialist utopias where they have evolved beyond money (which is just the white man's tool to keep a brother down) and she's free to sit on her ass all day rambling on her radio show because it's art, and as an artist she is BEAUTIFUL AND FIERCE AND DON'T NEED NO CRACKER TO TELL HER OTHERWISE

Let's go back to me being stupid, does that mean that all the rich people in the world bought something that was infected with a virus that killed them all? Wouldn't that also infect all the people that work for the rich and cause it to spread?
It hasn't even started and it already makes no sense. Gaby truly is a master in making this kind of stuff.
Bentley Barnes
It goes after Greed, not Gluttony!
Jackson Scott

Jack Howard

When the best thing they can come up with to say about your debut novel is that it's being re-published, that itself says something.
Charles Diaz
You mean their entire narrative falls apart? Because they don't like admitting they're Americans until it comes to asking for benefits and rights. These people love thinking that because their Spanish mother made them rice every night while speaking Spanish, they basically grew up in Spain.
Jayden Kelly
>What the fuck does that even mean? The person I replied to said >It's literally a word third+ generation spics in the US came up with for themselves But thats bullshit they pulled out or their ass because it was actually some "intellectual" white dude.
Eli Martinez
It’s suppose to be gender neutral version of “Latino/Latina”.
It’s enforcing a Anglo standard of non-gendered nouns onto a language primarily spoken by people in developing countries.
It is, ironically, colonialism of a language.
Thomas Morgan
it means "I am afraid to use an a or an o wrong"
Xavier Allen
Then why don't they just say Latin American? Why make up some bullshit word that no one in LA uses to describe themselves?
Asher Morales
Because these people think your product is invalidated unless it gets the Hollywood stamp of approval. They hate the rich, but apparently suck their dick so much because they so badly want executives to notice them and approve of them.
Jack Morris
>If I say "latina" or "latino", those are gendered terms and gendering people is definitely not okay, because not everyone subscribes to binary gender dynamics >It's much more natural and respectful to say "Latinks", er, I mean "Latinex", no, hold on, "Latingz?" "Latinchs." MUCH easier, and so respectful, too! >I's a good thing our latinks friends have white people like me looking out for them!
Daniel Cox
Because constantly coming up with new tard words is an effective way to weed out dissidents and wannabes. If you have to ask what [new buzzword] means, then you're obviously not inner circle material, because you should already know what it means. If you dare question the logic of [new buzzword] then you've outed yourself as an infiltrator or a similar undesirable.
Literally this. It's elitist gatekeeping. Hell, they probably even have their own quirky little one-word term for elitist gatekeeping, which makes them feel like working class heroes, and if you're unfamiliar with it, you clearly aren't part of the eli- er, exclusive groups calling the shots when it comes to defining society's morals. I mean, what would some commoner know about social justice, unlike the rich, white, university-educated children of major stockholders?

Brayden Thomas
Yea Forums is filled with assholes and no one tried to deny that, and even then it's not the same.
Ian Martinez
The thing is, Yea Forums doesn't even begin to claim that it's "fighting the good fight", or "defending minorities and the oppressed/weak". Our gatekeeping mechanisms serve to keep out anyone who takes things too seriously, can't handle the bantz, and generally cares more about the content of one's reputation than the quality of their words.

William Young
Clearly they were terrified of pointing it out, in case they be labeled as misogynistic and anti-womyn. Menstruation is holy and divine because all women are queens, no, goddesses.

Honestly, that shit would actually be a really interesting story, too bad you just know the author is gonna be a naive retard and think pretty much everyone in any position of power dying will somehow make everyone's lives better.
Parker Green
What about all the wealthy sportsballl players that are black? Oh...wait...I bet they're not affected... I mean, Gabby never tweeted about how much she hates black people or they scare her - that was white people.
Isaiah Brooks
It's funny how it's always the upper middle class that's crying about the "rich" Bitch, you realize most people have to live on less than $30,000 a year, right? You don't get to complain about the plight of the "working class" when you make a six digit salary.
Jace Watson
cringe whenever I see this amount of WOKE language. So fucking annoying. I don't care how you make your characters, just stop pitching them as a reflection of your imaginary oppression.
Ian Garcia
She also dates a guy who is so rich, he uses charity receipts as a comeback on Twitter. Think he spent a few thousand during this whole shenanigan just as a way to "shut people up" in tweets.
>Fuck rich people >Not me though, I'm not super billionaire rich, I'm just moderately rich
Anthony Russell
Yeah but see, Alex Hirsch gave a couple THOUSAND dollars to charity, that makes him righteous. Unlike the billionaires who give hundreds of thousands of charity, but they do it for tax purposes so FUCK THEM!
Oh, what? Rich people are where the majority of the income comes from in places like LA and New York? And if we tax them higher, they would leave and virtually bankrupt those cities? Uh, uh, uh, b-but tax the fucking rich because that's what my friends say!!! Nobody told me that's how economics work.
Grayson Jenkins
My favourite part is when they constantly say "tax the shit out of the rich!" without realizing they'd also get extremely high taxes because of their income.
Parker Lopez
>Billionaires shouldn't even be able to exist"
W....Why? Inflation has gotten crazy out of control to the point where most of the highest grossing films in the last five years all have a billion or higher. A billion is the new million.
I genuinely don't understand this logic. Do they think a million is a lot anymore in today's world? Maybe to someone who just won it via the lottery or a dead relative. But people who own a business, a million is fucking chump change. Most people who start a business are already in debt a million.
Ayden Jenkins

Ethan Cox

All that means is that you have a chance to learn and practice from a great and maybe make some connections. If your comic doesn't sell, then you are fucked. Japan, unlike the US, actually has a COMICS industry where the main product are the COMICS. There's also tons of chances for people without connections to get their foot in the door as due to the sheer amount of publications, niches, genres, publishers and the ever present demand for more and more new content, there's always a demand for fresh talent.
Robert Lewis
Neither can the American left.

Jace Gutierrez
>Billionaires shouldn't even exist You would be unemployed if there wasn't some guy at the very top who could afford to spend hundreds of millions on the company you're part of.

I've noticed a lot of Upper Middle Class/mildly rich people have wildly inaccurate perceptions of their income, either believing that they're working class Joes or the power elite.
Jeremiah Wright
It doesn't matter. Gabby will have kept her star rising in the woke circles of politics and media, thus ensuring further employment. If Boom get fucked due to it, eh who cares.

Looks like a cheaper, non-Union Mexican equivalent of the Burger King Kids Club.
Also: Yes. Gabby is a proud fake Puerto Rican who can't even speak her "native" tongue.
Isaac Martinez
That he unironically believes that wealth=morality.
Joseph Mitchell
You guys care more about this shit than the target audience. Let it go already.
Luis Mitchell
He honestly believes you're a good person if you give to charity regardless of your personal circumstances, yet funny thing is the money he gives to charity is basically pocket change to him so really all he's doing is patting himself on the back, pretending he's somehow a better person than you because he did the equivalent of throwing a quarter in a homeless dudes cup.
Cooper Lopez
Normally I’d agree But the premise is just so SHOCKINGLY stupid I can’t not shit talk about it
Hudson Reyes
And that's ignoring the huge issues with charities today; is the charity ACTUALLY helping society or is it simply a jobs-for-the-boys, political lobbyist group? Is it making a difference or is it actively making things worse? Simply donating to charity means shit aside from you might be helping to pay someone more than what the leader of your country earns to work a three day week while pushing their opinion on everyone.
Isaiah Cooper
>not as pants on head retarded as Maneaters
To be fair, the very basic premise behind Maneaters -i.e. "bioengineered lycanthropy infects women and turns them into murderous werebeasts during their estrus cycle"- is actually pretty solid. It's literally every single other thing about Maneaters that's pants on head retarded.
Charles Richardson

Or, you know, just give everyone a battery of extra-strength antiparasitics. Toxoplasmosis can be purged with basic over the counter medications, so even if it was a mutant strain it really shouldn't be that hard to develop a means of killing it.

No, because in the world I live in food poisoning doesn't turn people in supernatural horrors that kill everyone in sight.
Zachary Ross
Honestly the comic could be interesting if it was a fair view of what effect wiping out the drivers of capital in the world would actually have on society. Contrasting the possible positive and negative effects it would likely have on both environment and innovation but it's probably gonna be some bullshit hippie "hur dur capitalizm bad" shit.
Angel Murphy
Please tell me Gabby is the one in the white shirt and the other is just a pathetic nu-male fan of hers.
Thats the best thing to come from America, a shitty edit.
Jordan Moore
She's lucky to make it another 5 fucking years with her obviously shit diet.
Jason Walker
>hurr durr capitalism bad Capitalism is bad in the context of an ever evolving global economy. We've already seen the cycle of Supply -> Over supply -> Market Correction/Recession/Depression play out over a sixty+ year trend twice (the end of the American civil war to the original great depression and then the end of WW II to the great recession which would have been the great depression 2: global boogaloo if W. Bush hadn't used socialism to bail out the economy) but you're right that we're not going to get an adult discussion of the role mixed market economies are playing in modern society. I mean, if all the mega capital owners got wiped out wouldn't we regress back into feudalism? Is that going to be Gabby's pitch? "Hey guys, we should totally give the divine right of kings another shot just so long as the monarchy is gender neutral..." Or more probably this dumb cunt is going to expect a benevolent civil oligarchy to pop up out of the bureaucracy Karl Marx style (despite all historical evidence that Marxism is fucking retarded.)
Nathan Lee
Same reason they love all minorities, they hate whites above everything else so everything that isn't white is good (pls ignore the fact that Islam goes against just about everything leftists stand for)

Jack Gonzalez
Demisexual is kind of sort of like a FWB sort of thing (In the twisted sense of, "You don't get the benefits if you're not my friend")
Platonic fucking doesn't require the romantic kind of attraction.

Sebastian Baker
It only affects people with lower amount if melanin in their skin
I mean, this whole democracy thing has only been around for about 300 years, and even then, it's been an uphill battle to keep it around every step of the way. The French Revolution ended with Napoleon declaring himself in charge and turning the country into an empire again. Which it fluctuated between being until WW2. I wouldn't be surprised if we went back to those monarchist days for another couple generations. Though of course, now, our kings are capitalist billionaires, not governments, but it's effectively the same in every way.
Joseph Edwards
She's the perfect example of why no one likes NY Ricans. She doesn't even speak Spanish well and wants to represent Puerto Ricans

the same post already mentioned 'latina', it's just a way of saying latin without gendering it male or female. Get triggered over something worthwhile, or at least new. Latinx as a word has been around a while, boomer.

Did I say I spoke for all Latin People, Mr. I'm a fucking spastic? No.
I said, "the last I checked", because the last time I'd even heard of the word, Latin people were getting triggered over it. Something about Xs or something.
Josiah Wright
Literally every Latin person but third generation American creaturas hate the word because of how ugly it looks and sounds
Adrian Hall
>Latinx as a word has been around a while, boomer. Not in the real world of sane adults. You can pretend jerkops is also a words, doesn't make you savant for using it.
Evan Harris
My family imigrated to the US in 89. I am a 1st generation immigrant and I have visited my parent's country many times before. It is a retarded word and so are you faggot. Go to any Spanish speaking country and group them all together with 1 word and they'd actually beat the fuck out of you
Charles Ward
lol, I just read the story time on AMERICA.
Who the fuck gave her another job?
Joshua Reyes
Globalization is LITERALLY defined as the triumph of capitalism, you absolute fucking drooling retard. I was searching for something else in the archives, and I still had to enter this thread, from Yea Forums, about SJW Wars and with a fucking nigger tumblr picture of all things to call you retarded. I bet you think you're really special defending something everyone else hates, like capitalism, just because you're on 4chin and le epik contrarianism.
Well indeed, you're indeed special. A special breed of retard. I'm leaving now, god Yea Forums smells
It could work if it was an allegorical type of story full of symbolism and whatnot but I don't think Rivera's smart enough for that and will just play the whole thing entirely straight, like that comic about pubescent girls turning into werewolves..
Hunter Price
The captions are a troll addition It’s magnificent bait, I don’t think people will ever stop taking it
Adam Peterson
>the super rich are killed by a disease Realising this will change fuck all in the world our brave pretend LatinXtreme random globally reaching natural disasters have to be thrown in too. What an idiot.
I must say I'm a little bit curious about how bad she will fuck up her own ideas though. How will this "wealth attacking disease" work, what was the wealth cut off, was it based on liquid assets alone or are items owned included in the valuation? Did it kill them then vanish or is it always present so if anyone earns or owns enough to hit the limit they will get it? When rich people who are parents died, were their kids okay until their parents estates were passed down to them? How were joint bank accounts viewed?
John Thomas
Fucking pochos.
Carson Carter
That comic just ripped off the concept of Gingersnaps.
Owen Kelly

Lmao what kind of fucking moron types this out and thinks it doesnt make them sound retarded?
Ryder Bennett

I'm gonna hazard a guess that this will just be a "the village" style plot twist.

As someone who's read much of her typed work, she doesn't seem all that bright.

Does Boom Studios allow fanletters?
Parker Ross
>generic brown woman does xyz No thanks, pass
Jackson Powell
Quickly searching it they have fanletters sections for a couple of series they've done, I wonder if this series will have it as well.
Anthony Johnson
The "fanbase" is solely going to consist of Yea Forums again, isn't it?
James Turner
I will personally have popcorn on the ready for Storytimes here.
Connor Cooper
noooo but its really good because it's inclusive, who cares about the art when it's representing marginalized persons
Gabriel Ross
I believe the term is "a goddamn Puerto Rican"
Matthew Rogers
I'm actually looking forward to reading this train wreck of a comic with Yea Forums.
Their eyes were glossed over with having to skim through America by Gabby Rivera.

The description of this series reads like if a conservative designed a parody of a high concept liberal comic.
Luis Nguyen
I see a few ways this could work. Top of my head, some parasite or spore who attaches to your spine and grows when you're thinking of hoarding resources (I think I've read somewhere that buying expensive shit gives you a slight dopamine high, you could justify it with stuff like that), until decades of being rich turns you into a giant bulletproof zombie merchant.
98% of the population is infected, the only way to stay alive is 1984-tier socialism to suppress your instincts which make you want more stuff (I think they cover that in 1984 too, Winston tells us how he just knows he's supposed to own things in chapter 3 or so) and protect you from the horse of mutated greed zombies.
Then again I'd bet it's some Mayan curse instead, "plague that are greed" sounds like something you get when you ask Google to translate your animu titles
Not that user but not a bad idea. I was imagining some spore that was chizeled out of some gold or diamond mine that is why it infects the rich first. Be like that zombie ant spore that manipulates people's desires to act more selfish and greedy, like the spore caused evil capitalism.
Than again it wouldn't be that good of a political comic if the cause of the bad thing was a made up fantasy that we put the blame on.
Levi Turner
Reminder that Yea Forums will only storytime it for a couple issues and then never again, just like Naomi.
Michael Nguyen
Having it coming from a gold or diamond mine does the opposite actually. Mining, even for gold or diamonds, is mostly done with slave labor in third world countries these days, if there was any plagues in diamonds they'd wipe out half of Africa before the rich even saw them.
Unless you go full ducktales and tell the story of Lord Thaddeus Chatsworth III who discovered the fabled Ruby of Ko'mu'nsm on his sex tourism trip to Thailand
I wouldn't be surprised if they did notice but didn't care because they hated Gabby's story just as much as everyone else.
Evan Morris
Maybe the slaves are immune because they never got a chance to indulge their desire for greed?
Dominic Ross
I just have one question. It's a post-apocalypse, right? HOW DOES SHE STILL MANAGE TO BE FAT?
Jackson Green
Being fattened up for the harvest. It is post-apocalypse after all.
Grayson Davis
Because being fat (in gabby's mind) is something that just naturally happens based on the type of body you are born with, and has nothing to do with a lack of exercise or overeating.
Jaxson Martin
Calling it now. The "disease" was poor people chimping out. That's the secret of Peepees dad. That or she's 1/64th white oppressor or something.
Juan Fisher
Between cancer in the genes as well as diabetes and whatever the fuck else, it'll be lucky to make it to 55 y/o. Clock's ticking, fatty.
Alexander Clark
ARe we sending that letter again?
Blake Brooks
Retardado, não vem com essa merda de Latinx pra cima de nós não, já não aguento esse termo artificial "Latino"como se algo nos unisse aqui que não fosse ódio mútuo. "Latinos" só existem na sua visão de mundo deturpada da Anglosfera e ainda por cima querem enfiar essa noviíngua estúpida que é impronunciável.
Anthony Williams
I don't know about that, but Yea Forums definitely got printed in America.
The non-Yea Forums letters are goldmines as well, especially Nathan
Brody Long

>where a disease called “the Plague That Ate Greed” has wiped out the extremely wealthy
How the fuck does a disease wipe out the rich and successful, wealth is not fucking genetic?Also what happened to the wealth to those that were killed by the disease, does it vanish into thin air so no one who raids their home can get their wealth? Gold is considered wealth, but we also use it in our technology as it's one of the best metals for electrical conductivity and for filling in cavities, does all the gold on the planet disappear or do humans stop using it altogether?
Are leaders of countries rich because they're in charge of their government that controls the value of their currency through printing and collecting taxes? This is the dumbest idea of a plot, she could have at least copied The Division and have a virus that transfers through contact on paper currency. The only way this makes sense is if this is some kind of cult compound she's in thats a communist version of Scientology and learns that the outside world is completely unaffected and everything was a lie. Why give someone whos first comic book was canceled for low sales to some indie comic when they barely get sales?
I, for one, eagerly await the embarrassing but hilarious book.
Dominic Price
Huh, I still had this tab open from yesterday. No, it was in America. But I have bought every issue of Man-eaters. Actually, the concept is interesting, even if it falls apart pretty quickly the more you think about it (if women get periods turn into werepanthers, well then how do people reproduce, when there's already birth control in the real world that suppresses periods). You know, I wouldn't even mind a solid story with feminist overtones, but Man-eaters is literally "This is a feminist message, with a story kinda around it." Oh, while I'm thinking about it: >One of the comic shops I go to is owned by a woman >She's actually pretty cool. She had one of her very feminist employees love the book. >In fact, they order all the books that we make fun of here. >She recently had to let her employee go >The store is closing down tomorrow, after being open six years. >When I was in there yesterday, they still had, literally, every copy of America still on the shelf. A shame, she is actually pretty cool and does order a lot of offbeat stuff.
Jack Hernandez
>>The store is closing down tomorrow, after being open six years. >>When I was in there yesterday, they still had, literally, every copy of America still on the shelf. Well the REAL sales for these kinds of comics are from the TPBs.
Brandon Turner
>If you're a hugger, it's totally cool not to be. Gets me every time.
Henry Hughes
Oh yeah. The real sales. The sales that are for real. Things really being sold.
Luke Flores
Also, when I said every copy, I meant all the issue, 1 through 12, or where ever it ended. Maybe I'll stop in and buy them tomorrow. It's a huge blowout sale going on....
Thomas Fisher
I mean the bulk of the sales. Like with Ms. Marvel.
