A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Random article about it.

Full disclosure for the community here, apart from the occasional graphic novel or collected edition over the years, I haven't followed up to date stuff in years, like since I was a kid. I keep myself sustained with adaptations these days. Although I'm more tempted than ever to check out the Absolute runs.

I just came across this elsewhere and thought it was cool.

Punk's been dead for a long time. The only two bands that you ever hear about these days making a socio-political splash of any note are Rage Against the Machine and Green Day, who had their peaks in the '90s and gatekeepers didn't even consider Green Day to be punk. Millennials completely failed to take that baton from Gen X and instead gave the world podcasts and Pop Idols. Chappell Roan is more punk than anything that's come out of the alternative scene in the last 20 years.

I 100% agree with what you saying but also I appreciate attempts to revive the punk spirit because society needs it more than ever. And at least it's coming from DC Comics and not Apple or Amazon or some shit.
