>>104325679Please, look at this list (
>>104325454) of best selling comics.
Really do read that list. Don't just skip over it. Read it.
Now, can you honestly tell me that the American comic industry is worthy of respect? Do you truly and wholeheartedly believe that this list represents a healthy medium? Are you proud to be partially responsible for producing this list?
If you answered yes to any of these question, then I genuinely think you have shitty taste. I'm not trolling; I'm not being hyperbolic; I'm not being sensational, or unreasonable, or emotional — I really genuinely hold your tastes in total contempt.
When Wolverine got frozen in adamantium, did you gasp, with your hand clutching your chest and a tear in your eye?
When Wolverine returned from death, did you clap your hands? Did you cheer? Did you feel genuine joy?
How old are you? If you're, like, 16 or something, then I cannot judge you, because I had similar tastes at your age.
But if you're in you're 20+ and you still give a flying fuck about superhero schlock that exists primarily to sell toys to children, then you have objectively shitty taste. I'm not trolling — I 100% think your tastes are trash.
I wish you could see my face right now, just so you could appreciate how deadly serious I am in my contempt for capeshit and everyone invested in it.
This rant isn't coming from a place of malice, it's coming from despair.
>>104325738I agree that webcomics, and internet distribution in general, is unironically the best hope for a brighter American industry. The biggest issue is finding good and reliable ways of monetizing them that can compete with published comics.
