Hii OH! happy Easter ^^

Ooh.....I kinda want to read this now...

Because of your current avatar, I read the your blog post title in Darkwing Duck's overly dramatic voice...

I spent 60 bucks on comics today, all Marvel . I just can't do DC, I've tried. I liked Animal Man and Swamp Thing and Justice League Dark but I gave up.

Thanos Rising any good?

I was just using Wolverine as an example, he's got two ongoings, and he's in almost every Avenger/X-Men comic book. I like when they take chances on new characters/new stories. I get why they don't, I just don't like it.

I get that, it's just a personal thing. I understand how the business works.

Read it in trade, it isn't meant to be read any other way. I feel it's pretty good. Still reading Saga?

What's on your pull list anyway?

I don't think so. Anyone I talk to who actually buys comics (Without being the hipsters who just download Batman) know's who these characters are, even if they don't read their books or know anything about them. I've got a friend who just buys DC but he knows who The Runaways are. The internet is pretty much getting rid of people not knowing about comics. I mean anyone can go into a store and at least see a cover for something they're not reading and understand these characters are out there. I don't really believe in "D" list characters.


Yeah. She dead.

I don't want them to kill off these characters. I feel any character can be written well, and make for a good read. These characters had story left in them, but they don't want to take the chance on anyone who isn't Wolverine.

Are you reading the new Avengers proper?

The Braddock Academy are new characters made for the book. X-23 and the rest of them are pretty well known to comic book fans. Maybe not people outside of comics, but that doesn't matter.

The premise sure, but you're not just reading for a premise.

Sentinel isn't dead. They aren't going to kill a kid every issue, how long would that story really last? Besides, they're probably going to cop out at the end anyway, and it'll all be virtual or something stupid.

I wouldn't call them C and D list. The Runaways are beloved, and Avengers Academy put out quite a few issues for a series that was bound to get cancelled. It may be unoriginal but they haven't done anything to hide that fact, they straight out told people about the Battle Royale/ Hunger Games connection. And it really does follow through on it's premise by the way, people really start dying really quickly.

I'm not buying it because I don't like seeing characters with good potential stories in them killed off just so we can have another Wolverine book, but from what I hear it's actually really good.

Have you thought about going on a blogging site like wordpress?

Or I don't know if you go on any comics sites, but maybe if you advertise your blog there, you might get some more views?

I think they work as they are. The problem seems to not be in the content of your blog, but the fact that only like...four people frequently use the blog feature. That's probably why you haven't gotten the turn-out you expected.

So far I have personally enjoyed all the non-marvel/DC ones, and actually because of you, found a few more self-published manga-ka to look up to. I've been going back and forth for a LONG *** TIME deciding if I can really do my own or not, or if I should just forget it. It's been hard.

But looking at other people in my situation and seeing what they've accomplished really makes me push to finish. They did it. I can do it.

While I am always on the lookout at DeviantART for new exciting well-drawn manga (I stress this because there are a LOT of "artists" out there with their own "manga" who don't care about quality control and just...gods no), I don't always find what I'm looking for. DA is swarmed with all sorts of crap all the time, so filtering it out to find the gems gets tiresome.
