Instead of backwards, we should just use the clearer terminology: "bad and wrong". (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If you don't like manga, that's fine, and if you have issues with a specific set of pages posted here go ahead and let it out, but just cruising in to say the entire medium sucks, or, even worse, that Japanese writing is wrong (????) isn't really any less tedious than somebody going into the Marvel or DC threads to say that superheroes are for mental infants or whatever. People have been told numerous times not to derail panel threads with this kind of stuff and so from now on it'll be an immediate 12-hour probe. I don't like a lot of the manga scenes posted in the badass/funny/etc. panels either-- I don't like a lot of stuff posted in them-- but just moving on without posting is the easiest thing in the world.

A wise bit from CITY: Some characters are trying to escape having a big fete thrown for them, and have to go through a series of kind of half-assed trials to do so. One of them is being dragged along unwillingly.

Every terrible thing you see there is a Rob Liefield-ism, in case that wasn't quite clear, who was disliked even at the height of his work's popularity.

Rhyno posted:CONTEXT: Rob Liefield pushed his Image cofounders too far and was booted out of Image. Jim Lee had a little fun with that Incidentally this is from Gen 13 #13, which features a lot of 90's-topical comics cameos.   And then in a horrifying twist he eats Beanworld.    Wolverine also shows up but you all know what Wolverine looks like. This had a cover date of October 1996 so it's an interesting case study of how broad the field of mainstream comics was outside of the popular Image-era stereotypes. Aside from the stuff I've posted here there's also stuff like a bunch of Pulido-style "bad-girls" as well as the main characters from Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise. A really weird, neat artifact that does give Campbell some fun pastiches to show off.

We had a discussion when Vulpes’ Black Cat launched about how the covers kept some goons from picking it up, but helped make it a big seller among other readers. One of the Campbell variants was a textless cover of Felicia in bathtub full of milk. The cover was selling a different book than the interiors were presenting.

Yes the Greg Horn/Ed Benes effect like on the otherwise solid Slott She-Hulk, Emma Frost solo, and of course Simone's Birds of Prey in the early 00s-- nothing but cheesecake up-front even though inside it was solid stuff. There is a weird subset of the market that really does go for that poo poo like whoa and I'm not going to throw shade as much as say that it seems counter-productive in the long run.

I’ll throw shade, but I’ll always admit that the weirdies buying the low effort cheesecake covers are what have always helped keep shops in business. And to be clear; not all cheesecake is bad.

Open Marriage Night posted:I’ll throw shade, but I’ll always admit that the weirdies buying the low effort cheesecake covers are what have always helped keep shops in business. That is the weird part to me. Seems like a feedback loop-- hard to get new demographics because the weirdos and low-effort cheesecake drive out a wider market, but without them you literally can't afford to trial-and-error new material long enough to anchor any real business (and that's on the lofty presumption that such diverse foot traffic for a shop can exist). And yeah cheesecake is a neutral term. What matters is how it is used. My only real bug has been the weirdos like Maddox who will pick nits until they're blue in the face about cheesecake not being, well cheesecake and intentionally arousing, and the corresponding tendency to mix-and-match cheesecake covers/interiors with books that are nominally for all ages or would possibly flourish in a different demographic with proper framing/pushing. There are obviously dozens of complicating factors, but overall it can feel like pointing out that the Emperor Has No Clothes because everyone is really embarrassed to admit they've spanked it to a Frank Cho cover at one point.

But anyway I would be very interested in reading about Zenoscope comics and other cheesecake presses, if only because I know so little about them and Random Stranger's Image/Awesome/Extreme deep-dive has been so informative and interesting.
