redbackground posted:They'll still be able to sell their old/current output, right? I think Lucasfilms owns all the comics, so it would be on Marvel/Disney to reprint anything, though I guess Dark Horse can continue to sell through their remaining stock following the loss of the license but I'm not sure.

Lurdiak posted:All I know about whatever's going on is that GBS went from a place where people yell at each other over news items, praise Macklemore and finance hot dog carts to a place that's funny as hell and that bad posters are afraid to touch. I had no idea there was a downside to this.

Is there a way to read One Punch Man legally without having to buy whole Shonen Jump books? Are those scan sites legal? I'm not *too* concerned about it, but it seems like something I'd enjoy based on the pages I've seen in various threads.

Yeah, I think more modern stories have suggested that he doesn't immediately lose power, but whatever he expends isn't recharged and it may sap some.

Mr Wind Up Bird posted:I always figured I'd donate them to a children's hospital but then figured I shouldn't since comics seem like they would be a good way to spread infections. I did find out that there is a youth emergency service shelter nearby so maybe I'll shoot them an email to see if they want them. This is true of like clothing at Goodwill so it should apply to comics as long as you are donating to a registered nonprofit. Also you still have to exceed the standard deduction to claim the deduction. I should do that actually.

The majority of Bendis-era event comics ended pretty poorly and just served to set up the next event or status quo and often seeped into comics you were reading whether you were interested in the event or not. Not that all tie-in issues are bad, but it can be annoying to be interested in one story only to have another one completely unrelated to it come along and derail it. Prior to that, crossovers often took place within regular monthly series instead of being off in their own book, which could mean you either skip a book you were enjoying (again, due it being derailed) or you're stuck buying a bunch of comics you otherwise wouldn't to get the whole story. As an example, let's say you were a reader of Amazing Spider-Man and no other Spider-Man comics (something completely possible as ASM has consistently had higher sales than other Spider-Man comics). Along comes Amazing Spider-Man #378, which is Part 3 of 14 of Maximum Carnage. You now either have to 11 comics you didn't care about or skip three months of one you did. This was especially noticeable in the 90s for X-Men fans where there was an annual crossover across most or all titles for several years in a row. And very few were really any good, and it left the writers with limited time to tell the stories they wanted to tell.

Hey, Civil War gave us learning that Cap doesn't have a MySpace account or watch NASCAR. If that's not important, I don't know what is.

Mr. Maltose posted:To be fair, Solar has always been a bit Cyclopsy in design. Technically, Cyclops looks like Solar since Solar appeared nearly a year before X-Men #1, and didn't get a single colored costume for a bit after that.

Yeah, it's *really* not hard to map out a three movie series for Green Lantern that likely would have gone over way better than what we got.

I think Marvel has plenty of characters who would translate to TV pretty well, and, hey, they're doing just that with Netflix. That Agents of SHIELD is not good is hopefully not really a good indicator of future quality.

I somehow missed like 8 issues of it so I'm just going to trade wait. Or, more realistically, go grab the older ones since I've never actually read them. The couple issues I read were real good though.

DressCodeBlue posted:Hey, does anyone know if the plastic used to bag comics can stand up to 140ish degrees Fahrenheit? I'm getting my apartment heat treated for bed bugs next week (thank you pack of dudebros next door who didn't initially tell me about their infestation until after they treated their place, pushing them over to mine), and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my funnybooks. Ugh that sucks. But no, looks like melting point of Mylar is 254 C, so you'll be fine.

Yeah. Quitting that store makes plenty of sense. Completely quitting the hobby not so much. But at the same time, taking a break for a bit and coming back with a clean slate might not be the worst idea to get a fresh outlook and find stuff you truly love and enjoy.

Yeah. I need to take a look at some of the things I'm buying and pare way back. I think pretty much all the X-Men books are on the chopping block at this point.

Aphrodite posted:It's amazing how often people come up with these framing devices and don't have the resolution/cop-out already in mind when they do it. In Spawn's case, I don't think Todd was expecting it to last as long as it did or be as lucrative as it was, and intended for there to be an actual end to the series.

Spawn's power meter was an interesting narrative idea that could have led to some cool ideas under a good writer on a series that wasn't intended to run forever. Instead they just got to a point where they could ditch it since it was hamstringing them as intended.

I couldn't remember if Clint was or not. I think at most they didn't announce who it was until the first issue with him as Ronin, but I could be wrong.

I think it is an optional thing where they are doing a very collaborative effort and not one person handing a script to someone else to draw.
