Amerifat here, what the fuck even is the beano?
Elijah Hill
My dad.
Isaiah Miller
Looks pretty sweet. Who is that on the left? I'm guessing they aren't usually in a Xaviermobile.
Jaxon Walker
Did they make Billy Whizz black?
Sebastian Richardson
its been dogshit for a long time, roughly since this rebrand (which if i remember correctly was like 16 pages per issue)
Julian Thompson
Not since I was 10. I assume 10 year olds still do.
I preferred the Dandy to be fair, but the English didn't so it died.
Is commando still going? I use to love reading the war stories too.
I feel like Beano leads into people buying 2000ad, then into American Comics.
That said I find kids who read the Beano, Dandy then moved onto 2000ad tend to avoid capeshit a lot.

About 31,000 copies a week, with an increasing proportion of those via subscription, which is better from a sales perspective but as the US market shows worse from a general audience reach perspective. However, the Beano is still sold nationwide in the UK in general retailers.
It's also a multimedia brand, with several iterations of cartoons about the flagship characters dating back to the 1990s.
DC Thompson definitely the best DC.
Benjamin Anderson
Huh?
The Beano Max was a seperate monthly spinoff with more magazine-style content that ran for several years. It wasn't a rebrand.
Gavin Parker
That's a different title. The Beano is weekly, Beano MAX (now EPIC Magazine) is a monthly.
Commando is still going. Expect its characters to show up in a Jonathan Hickman X-Men title for no reason other than he wanted to appropriate them for nerd cred and didn't check whether anybody owned them.
