Lightning Lord posted:If you've ever been in a subway system, the modern version of newstands are those little kiosks where they sell papers, magazines and snacks. Also the racks of magazines at bookstores. Anyway, to answer D_T's question: in the US, monthly comics moved away from news stands (which I'm using as a generic term for "places magazines are sold") and into comics shops in the 90s as Diamond solidified their distribution monopoly (by acquiring the #2 distributor and Marvel attempting to self-distribute by acquiring what became Heroes World, which failed). Because Diamond distributes on a non-returnable basis for most things, it doesn't work with how traditional magazine retailers work, which is with returnable magazines (I believe they get something like 70% of the purchase cost back, but I could be wrong). As such, comics publishers would need to get a secondary distributor for their non-direct market sales, and offer them in a very different way than they've been doing for a couple decades. While I'm sure it's possible for comics to make their return to news stands, I doubt the publishers are really in any hurry to do it.

I've been reading Marvel's Miracleman reprints, and I really like that "kiddin" is a swear word. It's a cool little detail.

Bacon is very good, but the fetishization of it is very strange. If I had the Infinity Gauntlet, I would make Powerpoint never exist.

I do seem to recall that there was a "Stump Mark Waid" panel at a convention and someone started to ask a question about Rom and he just said he doesn't know anything about Rom. Fake edit: I just looked up the panel report and not only did that happen, but he also said he hadn't read any of the New 52 books (this was in 2012, so maybe that has changed).

I have it on good authority that Sonic isn't supposed to have blue arms. You should boycott that comic.

The end of Gen X/start of Millenials is still fuzzy, but it's generally considered somewhere around 1980-83. Different groups have it ending anywhere from 1996-ongoing. It'll be a bit more clear in another decade.

Norns posted:K so how do you explain Gen X still being gen X? Because Generation X was a specific name given to that generation and not a placeholder. Generation Y was a placeholder and comes off as a post-script to Gen X.
