Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yes. Let's give credit to Infinity War which did not end with the heroes winning. Despite clearly being a 2-parter that the heroes would eventually win, it was a complete story arc and if you were one of the 16 million Americans who died in the 5 year gap between the releases of Infinity War and Endgame, you'd have died knowing only that the heroes lost.
Endgame was pretty effective, if heavy-handed, at manipulating my emotions, so it's hard for me to count it as a pure win, but that's just me.
However, yes: Infinity War is an exception that proves the rule.
