Important!

Does anyone have recommendations for comics published in Canada? With the Americans initiating a trade war with us I won't be buying my usual DC/marvel etc... I love comics but I just can't support American publishers right now.

I read this Batman comic when I was a kid, it was definitely a mid-90’s to early 00’s print series. I thought it may have been a Jim Lee series but I haven’t seen any familiar panels in my search. Batman was darker, more gruff, square stubbly chin, ripped suit. Everything is sort of greenish gray color grade like the matrix. I’m asking the community to ward off the insanity this thing has driven me to over the past week. Thanks for the help!

is there an app on ios that is free and can connect to onedrive?

Look: I've been hooked on comic books since I was 3, and I'm 42 now. I read comic books every day. I ADORE the medium, everything it's done, and everything it can do. I've been a published comic book writer. I've been a published comic book REVIEWER. I've interviewed creators and geeked out, and I hope to do all that until the day I die (and am probably not resurrected a few months later with a new #1 and a foil-embossed cover).

I'd never argue that comics aren't significant as an art form. Ever.

But why is it that so many threads on the topic end up turning condescending and nasty? Why do so many people feel the need to turn a fun hobby into some kind of pissing contest? Why do people read opinions solicited in a context of "What's your unpopular opinion about ______?" and decide they need to TAKE OTHER PEOPLE'S ANSWERS PERSONALLY and argue over PREFERENCES?!

I'm not a fan of "Batman Beyond." Never been my thing. For a lot of reasons which, hey, are mine! A lot of people have gotten a LOT of joy from the show, I don't go around shitting on them and claiming the thing is objectively terrible (because it's not, it just Wasn't My Thing). I don't feel the need to go on "YOU'RE WRONG AND WHAT YOU LIKE IS SHIT!" rants with total strangers on the internet. I've sat through I-don't-know-how-many bad page/screen adaptations of favorite characters, I haven't gone on some online months- or years-long rampage, I just moved on to the next cool thing! How is that so hard?

Your favorite character died, or did something out of character? IT'S COMICS! Haven't you been paying attention for the past 90 years?! Give it a few months and it'll be back or normal, or it'll be some other crazy thing, or WHATEVER, IT'S COMICS!!! But we have "fans" out here sending DEATH THREATS to writers over this stuff!

Seriously, how did so many "fans" watch The Simpsons and be like, "Yeah, Comic Shop Guy, HE'S everything that's right with loving comics! Make me THAT guy!"

Sorry, just... ugh. I love the things I love, and I end up HATING the other people who love them because of this, and it's a bitch because these activities are meant to bring people together.

I have switched to digital, as I can get them from Hoopla, humble bundle, and sales on Amazon. I am using a Samsung 7FE, which is a 12.4 screen. I am happy overall. What do you all use?

I reenact, 1940s US army and I think it’d be cool to have a comic as “pocket litter” anything from Flash Gordon,Green Hornet to Superman. I’ve been looking but only find posters or kindle versions.

I didn’t know where to post this. But I’m looking for help and since this sub is for comic fans I’m hoping there are some who might know about this.

I’m at a weird point in my life, barely getting work as freelance. Most job postings are either senior level or internship that require you to be studying currently. With little experience in the actual industry, and most of my projects being indie (tumblr @bastionrojo). I’m Spanish and thinking on trying to study, to apply for scholarships to be able to have a livable way of going forward given how good social programs are here, and also internships to find an opening in the industry. I did 2 years of animation before entering Fine arts where I learnt I actually wanted to work as an illustrator, and ideally in my own comics, if that was a safe career.

With this I come to ask for suggestions on where to apply here in europe. I’ve already applied to the three obvious: Gobelins, Luca, New3dge

But any other place you’d recomend would be greatly apreciated. That said I’d need the masters to be in english as I only have a C2 in english outside of my mother tongue in Spanish.

If any of you know of a place in europe to study a Master or 1-2 years of any acceptable certifications in Comic, Graphic Novels, Graphic Storytelling, Illustration or concept art. You’d be a godsent.

Thanks in advance

Hi! I'm looking for comics from Marvel or DC that dig into a character's disability - whether a mental disorder, physical disability, chronic illness, etc. (I have all 3 so I'm interested in all kinds, LOL.)

I have been reading various Hulk runs that tackle Bruce's DID and trauma and have been loving them. I've also just started the 2016 run of Moon Knight which of course also tackles DID and his mental illness struggles. I've also read and loved Fraction's Hawkeye run, and some other Hawkeye comics too that touch upon the subject.

Any other comic runs or issues that delve into these subjects would be great to know about! I especially like very introspective and emotional stories and am looking for that sort of tone.

I'm not really interested in stories where superhuman abilities are taken away (for example, if Superman lost the ability to fly or otherwise became "normal" for a day, that's not really what I'm looking for). Just want to see the superhero genre used to explore realistic disability. Thanks so much!

I haven’t been to any comic shops yet, but I plan on going soon, and I’m wondering how long a comic shop will have an issue for, cause I plan on setting up a pull list with Ultimate Spider-Man as one of the series, but I only have the first 6 issues, so I need to catch up.

What’s the chances a comic shop near me would still have an issue that’s multiple months old?

I picked up my first Creepshow comic a couple days ago, and searched them up to see if they come out regularly. There’s 2 coming out one in February a valentines special, and a trade paperback in march. Does anyone know of horror comics telling around 2-5 stories each issue, with killer art and plot creativity that comes out relatively often?

I never really got into marvel comics, stayed reading dc for a while as I liked their heros a lot more. Marvel hero wise I like guardians of the galaxy, avengers, moon knight, spider man.

LUKEWARM TAKE: Cenematic Universes are cool and all, but Comic book adaptations work WAY better in a serialized format. Shows like 90s Marvel cartoons were all just effortlessly connected. The X-Men showed up in am episode and Spider-Man, and it just made sense that these two shows were in the same universe. Then there's the CW Arrowverse, which had grandious crossovers, yes, but it also had highlights like Green Arrow calling the Fkash for like 3 seconds of assisstance. Not in some big "hey, remember these shows are connected" moment either, it was literally just a second of screen time, smach-dab in the middle of Season 5, and it just made sense. That's how comics generally are too. When you see the Human Torch in a Spider-Man comic, you don't tend to think twice, or worry about a missed issue of Fantastic Four; you just remember "Oh yeah, Peter & Johnny are bros" and continue reading. Now compare that to things like the MCU. Wanna watch Shang-Chi? Oh, well you've gotta watch all 3 Iron Man movies, all three prior Avengers films, AND Captain Marvel for the post credits scene. WHY?! It's a stand alone about a martial artists! Why is it connected to Iron Man AND space?!?! Then there's atrocities like the 2023 Flash movie which (ignoring Ezra Miller) had Michael Keaton reprising his role as Batman. Cool and all, but those movies are 40 years old! I doubt too many people who watched that movie even new why Michael Keaton was playing Batman at all!

TL;DR, I have an intense love for comics, and comic movies are awesome, but TV is FFAARR better suited for interconnected universes, imo.

And if you disagree, that's okay. Remember that this is just my personal opinion, it doesn't infringe on yours, and I'm human too.
