Defiant1, while I agree with many of your points, I do not agree 100% with your conclusion that all modern comics suck. While much of it can be considered drivel, there are many high quality books still being put out. I started collected near the start of the Bronze age, with one of my first purchases being Star Wars No.1. I was big into Marvel, mainly Spider-Man, but they were all great back then; Hulk, Avengers, Nova, Ms. Marvel, FF, Jim Starlin's Captain Marvel and Warlock runs and so on. It's a different landscape these days and I'm fine with that. While I still enjoy Spider-Man, the non-superhero stuff companies like Image, Aftershock, Dynamite, etc. are publishing are much more fulfilling. They may not be great investments, but I'm reading what I enjoy, which is what its supposed to be about. |

Defiant1, I agree with you 100% (about your assessment of the comics industry, not about you being a negative person). Having corporations like Disney own so much of it doesn't help. One thing I noticed is that all the ads are missing in comics, reading the ads added to the appeal of comics for me in my youth. Ad revenue would (or should) lower the price of comics, but so would going back to newsprint. Making superstars out of people who couldn't tell a story (like Rob Liefeld), I think negatively affected the hobby. I think the speculation market doesn't help, either. All the things that provide a barrier to new people from picking up the collecting bug should be examined and eliminated where possible. |
