Fuck Donny Cates.
No, not a Batman fan, just in case.

Was Batman 77 when Alfred died? I guess that would explain the boost.

What a massacre for DC.

Hulkbros...

Yes. Surprised it wasnt top 5. Where has it been landing lately.

>7 of the top 10 are just Marvel

Fucking based.

Yeah nah, the only outlier in the list is the Batman ongoing and for good reason , don't feel bad.

Was Spawn #300 August or September?

>Ladderbro: B-Batman is dying guyzzz, Hulk is dah strongerest!

September 4th.

Everyone know IH is far better, so there's not much to argue.

Truthfully, I saw people on Reddit and Twitter praising #78 after what we saw, and just the fact that it sold out and they rushed to a second printing (newsarama.com/46921-batman-78-headed-for-second-printing.html) tells me all the Kingfags are a huge majority out there, just like Catesfags. So quite honestly it might win on sales but we know where the actual quality is.
And no I'm not salty, I think this whole flip-flopping in the charts is interesting, but let's not kid ourselves here, it's been trash.

>Everyone know IH is far better
>Everyone will buy Batman comics instead anyway

People are idiots user

Who the fuck is still buying Batman?

Yes.

>rlm drone patronizing about trash

>Bane killed Alfred while Bruce is just dicking around with Selina

Even idiots should be able to see that King is shit.

Damian was the only good part of this issue.
I think the Batmans books needs to update the title to Robin .I think the scene with Zsasz and Scarecrow last issue made it fairly obvious why they need to take back Gotham.

>9. BATMAN #77 (DC)
Tom King Kills The DC Universe.

> Spencer's Spider-Man flopped
should bring back Slott

Normies only like Batman and Marvel. The rest of DC is for hipsters. It doesn't help at all that DC cannibalized its own universe and continuity.

>Absolute Carnage outsold Marvel Comics 1000
Oh shit. There goes "1 million sales."

>Carnage, X-men and Batman

I see that only edgelords read comics nowadays.

Donny Cates on Spider-Man

Spider-Man will never recover his place as the most popular comic while Marvel refuse to undo OMD and let him move on with his life.

Fuck, if you want him to stay in the school his whole life just make him a teacher, we all know that's the career Peter is supposed to follow.

shut the fuck up you marriagefag
go jerk off to BatCat kissing or something

mindless batdrones (there's a lot of them)

>batman who laughs
That story was so fucking stupid and it took it so seriously I was laughing, do people actually like this shit

I guess bendis lost the normies with all the leviathan shit in action comics and all the confusing yet boring Jor-El/Jon/Rogol Zaar shit in Superman

>it took it so seriously
it took itself so seriously I meant

>Marvel has nearly double the market share of DC
I had no idea it was this bad. DC might have to fold completely and significantly consolidate its properties in a couple decades.

>ABSOLUTE CARNAGE
This comic is pure trash, who the fuck is buying this this?

We got cocky...

Edgelords

ASM will only be considered a flop if Miles outsells him. This month is his best chance to with the anniversary issue he didn’t earn. But we’ll see, both of the amazing issues from this month were good. Though he could get topped next month since their saddling him with these tie in issues directly in his run

>9. BATMAN #77 (DC)
Batman is dead.

And lots of them.
DC scaled down on ongoings to focus on trades and their imprints, we'll see if it pays off.

Nope Alfred is dead.

Batman is out now.

Nope. Alfred is alive. That was a doll made to bait Bruce in. Next issue you’ll see. Tom King isn’t as sneaky as he thinks.

I think people will be mad at this bait and switch if it's true.

>M-marvel lose, r-right?!
Poor Tommy got completely insane by the absolute dominance of Marvel.
Bow your head, slave.

X IS BACK BABY, X IS BACK

Rob Liefeld was right

He was retarded.

Liefeld is an idiot regardless of his temper tantrums where he sheds a hint of truth.

>not even the "Didio hope" shill showed up

That's really shows how utterly fucked DC was.

Carolfag fuck off. She has nothing to do with it

Most of his bullshit is contradictory, like claiming that he refuse to work at DC because of Didio and then in the same year claiming that DC actually rejected him several times.

>Liefeld is an idiot

She is the flagship character, as Marvel goes so does she user

Attached: 76654911_p0.jpg (650x650, 155K)

He's just deluded. He started attacking Snyder and posting private messages while acting like a smug fuck by not straight up calling out King (since Snyder's book is actually selling well), but we all know that if DC offered him a gig he'd take it without hesitation. Meanwhile he concocted a dumbass speculator controversy with his shitty mini at Marvel, all because of first appearance tomfoolery.

>She is the flagship character
Unironically kill yourself

Facts don’t care about your feelings

Marvelfags will buy anything that has the logo "Marvel" on it.

They will also buy anything that has the names "Cates" or "Hickman" on the cover.

No matter the quality, Cates and Hickman comics for Marvek are bound to sell well. Such is the behavior of Matvelfags.

Don't compare Hickman to the hack that copied Darkness comic and then called it "Knull"

If she's a "flagship character", how come we don't see her ongoing in the Top 10s?

We get it Tommy, you don't like it when Marvel succeeds in anything.

This. Cates is an unimaginative hack whose idea of compelling storytelling is turning the dials to 11 and forget about continuity and consistency. I'm fucking glad he's off GOTG and Cosmic in general by December, even if it comes at the detriment of Thor (according to rumors).

Hickman is the hack that wrote Doom becoming omnipotent 2 times and wrote a story in which the UN gives Wakanda to Thanos.

He and Cates are writers of the same low level.

Oh god shut the fuck up Tommy, go back to your shitty subreddit.

no, he's not a fan of modern DC comics

When you saw Terrax making a speech at the UN, were you impressed? And when the UN gave Wakanda to the Black Order, did that blow your mind?

>UN giving Wakanda to Thanos
Wait I didn't read Marvel besidess Hulk and Spider-Man, wtf happened?

Ouch

Man you sure are obsessed. When did this asspain with Hickman began? Because this is insanity and there's a point where it stops being funny.
Are you gonna be mad all the way until 2020 when the flagship X-Men book remains in the top 10 month by month?

It happened during Hickman's Avengers, the story that impulsioned Hickman to stardom due to how impressed Marvel readers were.

I will still be making fun of people for reading garbage, yes.

Tommy, do yourself and everyone here a massive favor and go seek help.

Do you not make fun of people for reading garbage?

I remember Yea Forums making fun of "America", King's "Batman", Snyder's "Justice League", Bendis' "Iron Man". Making fun of a comic with the name "Hickman" on the cover crosses a line?

>Making fun of a comic with the name "Hickman" on the cover crosses a line?
You can make fun of anything you want, but your obsession is uncanny. Most people laugh and move on, but you... Well, you haven't gotten over it. It's troubling.

>hulkfags
OH NONONONONONO

Not him but that's rich coming from you, Ladderfag

I'm not "Ladderfag" and I'm not sure what the fuck you mean by that anyway.

>> 1. ABSOLUTE CARNAGE #1 (MAR)
We're going to get even more symbiotes next year, right?

Attached: bigmom.png (567x313, 144K)

At least 10% of all Marvel comics will be about symbiotes at this rate.

God I hope not, I want that Knull bullshit to be over by the end of the event, don't want anything crossing over with Cosmic either. Keep Cates contained to Venom.

>Most people laugh and move on
Remember when people moved on from hating Bendis and King?

Me neither.

You do realize they're still releasing comics worth mocking, right? While you're still repeating the same bullshit from comics that ended, at the latest, in 2015? FOUR FUCKING YEARS, man. It's not the same.
