I think it's more common for the artist to say autographs are free if you buy a book or art, but a few bucks otherwise. I remember Mike Mignola saying he has people roll up with the full stack of Hellboy OSHCs for him to sign. That seems like a hassle to everyone involved. I met Sergio Aragones and he signed my first issue of Groo the Wanderer. I told him it helped make me who I am today, and he looked a bit worried.

I'm curious if this is true, but I've heard most artists prefer to personalize the signature just because it means its less likely to just get resold. Even though reselling is never on my mind, this seems weird, just because it's not like they'll ever recognize me if we meet again. I can see where it comes from, but I don't know.

Is Bendis doing much now? A little googling says he's writing Justice League and has some SubStack stuff going on. He was the busiest guy in comics for a good long time, but it seemed to really drop off after the jump to DC.

3D Megadoodoo posted:I finished the third album and am really veering towards just eating the sunk cost. I mean it's not like I don't have other comics to read (two phone-books of Cerebus, lol). Buddy, are you ok? Whatever you think you've done, you can live a constructive life, you can move on. You don't need to keep punishing yourself like this.

Vincent posted:I hate when new editions of old material get recolored. They're always dogshit. It sucks because the coloring technology at the time the classics were done was legitimately dogshit. I think my Watchmen release just has some backgrounds touched up to not be all yellow, but still match the pallet of the rest of the comic, and that's not too distracting. But at the same time, the artist (generally) chose the colors they chose, and that should be respected.

Flex Mentallo is a big issue because even though it looks good (I barely saw the original colors), they turned some black characters white, and that's an issue.

It's also easier to just publish your own stuff if you want to be independent. I don't know if Grant Morrison did any big vertigo work, invisibles was image, I thought. I don't know if Neil Gaiman does more drugs than Gerard Way, but you never know. I think a big part of vertigo's success may have been that the founder, Karen Berger, may have been good with talent or stories.

That's interesting, I thought Marvel had been outselling DC for a while, but I guess I haven't paid attention to that in years. I think Scholastic has been leading by a huge margin for a while now, I remember Raina Telgermeier was top of the heap for a while. Are the scholastic books in color or on good stock? They're more pages at a lower price than Comics by a wide margin.

I have only the vaguest memories of this comic, but I feel like this is the bullshit I need right now. But I have always been a fan of space, knights, spaceknights, and read only memory.

Gripweed posted:Oh man, I hated Kaijumax. It's got these big goofy comedy kaiju, and then a rape plotline. No thank you. Having said that, I've never seen Oz but I understand Kaijumax, and pretty much everything else in the world, is lighter than Oz, so my recommendation stands.

Bone is a fun fantasy thing. It won't change your life but it is well told, compelling, very well illustrated, and will make you smile.

I think there's a color version available, but it was originally done in B&W so you won't be missing out getting that. I think the single volume version has super thin paper. Fine for a moderately careful reading, but won't handle 12 seconds within 5 feet of a determined dog or child.

RevKrule posted:These exist just to sell variants right? Like no shot these are actually readable at an enjoyment level. All I ever see in these kickstarters is page after page of variants (we put boobies with nippies on the cover!!! L@@K!!!!) and I've never fully understood where the market for this is. Even at a masturbatory level, if you're old enough to back the campaign, you're old enough to find porn on the internet. I know nothing about these books, but apparently Vampirella had some very talented writers in the early days. Kurt Busiek, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, James Robinson. Comics are a tough business to get started in, and I'm sure smut comics pay well and offer creative freedom as long as you are also extremely horney. I wouldn't go looking for continuity or a grand artistic vision tho

B33rChiller posted:Do we have a thread for Groo / Sergio Aragones? Groo and Aragones are both absolute delights. I have pretty much the whole run in my basement, I'm 50/50 on whether reading it now would be better than I remember or worse. I met Aragones at a con once and told him Groo made me the person I am today. He looked slightly worried, I shouldn't have said that.

Willingham wrote for Breitbart at one point, so not much question where his politics is. The politics is pretty easy to ignore for a lot of Fables because it is a pretty easy parody to say Snow White, who worked her way up (with some help from her fairy godmother) is a small gov't conservative, but that angle is never really examined and there are a few places where the mask really slips. Bigby goes on a pro-Israel rant for a page and a half, and that's aged pretty poorly.
