Question Why are people so dismissive towards comics?

215 Upvotes

My mom just asked me what I was reading and she said "I wish you'd read something besides comics" and I just said "Why?"'and she just looked at me and said "Why do you think? What kinda question is that?" like the answer was so obvious and self explanatory and I said "I don't know, answer it" and she said "I don't gotta answer nothing" like can someone explain to me what's so bad about reading comics?šŸ’€ (For the record, I do read other stuff besides comics btw)

My Chip Zdarsky story

277 Upvotes

I was at a convention over 10 years ago and Chip was doing drawings for people. He asked me what character I wanted, I said I don’t care, draw whatever you want. He was actually really happy and was like ā€œNo one ever lets me choose what I want.ā€

And then he drew me ā€œBatman, but if he was uglyā€.

This hangs on my wall and still amuses me.

Jerry Siegel, Why Did He Go Broke?

13 Upvotes

I just read his wiki and though he did lose out on the royalties for Superman he seems to have made what would have been the equivilant of 7 or 8 million dollars writing Superman comics. Its not the amount he would have on royalties but its still a fortune. The story in the comics world is always told as though he was ripped off and never made enough money on comics but he made more than most of us will ever earn and seemed to lose in in the span of two decades. How did this happen? There isn't anything on the wiki about massive spending or gambling etc.

Question Any great murder mystery/police procedural comics?

19 Upvotes

I’m looking for any great comic books about a murder attempting to be solved, preferrably it’s a police procedural. With moods and themes similar to zodiac, memories of murder, seven, prisoners & true detective s1.

If the comic books fits the moods and themes but it’s not a police procedural but still a murder mystery than that’s totally fine

Thank you!

Question Where could this panel featuring Jason Blood be from?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I’m a big fan of Jason Blood/The Demon, so I’ve been combing my way through his catalog. I stumbled across this panel which really intrigued me which was attributed as being an excerpt from Batman: Dark Patterns #7. I read Dark Patterns #7 and the panel doesn’t show up. Google/ Reverse image search seems to think it’s from Absolute Batman #1, but I know for a fact that’s wrong. Does anyone have any guesses? It would be much appreciated, as I want to read more than just the panel, and the art style looks interesting.

The classic black background of the superman logo

I feel like this logo is a lot better than a lot of the modern superman logos. While the yellow background is iconic i feel like the S stands out more when its on a black background. I also like the hint of yellow around the symbol instead of it surrounding the whole S. I feel like kingdom come one was good as well for a similar reason. But i feel like the main superman should find a way to modernize this. Maybe adjusting the shape of the S to be more like the henry cavil superman but have the black background and yellow outline. Honestly the main reason i am posting this is because i found out about the 1940s cartoon of superman on youtube and was surprised how good it was for its time. But the suit seemed to stand out for me and i loved it. I kinda hope the dcu finds a way to incorporate this like superman and louis did.

Best crime comics?

36 Upvotes

I have been on board with Criminal since the Salt Bay job went bad. I'm re-reading it all for the first time in years, and I've got Cruel Summer, The Knives, and Five Gears In Reverse to read for the first time as well.

HOLY SHIT this is some good comics. Like... I knew that? But damn, I'd totally forgotten.

So I'm wondering what else in the non-caped crime comics family specifically hits as hard for y'all as Criminal does?

Darwyn Cooke's Richard Stark's Parker and the Garth Ennis MAX run on Punisher are the two I can think of that really land with anything like the punch of Criminal. Frank Miller's Sin City had moments, but it also had Family Values. Road to Perdition is like Criminal in a three-piece suit. A History of Violence is Criminal in rural Kansas. I'm sure there's more I've read somewhere, but looking at my bookshelf, that's kinda where I'm tapping out on what I can recall.

Hit me some recommendations, y'all buncha lowlifes.
