A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

What is the main Marvel Universe? (lemmy.autism.place)

Not the Marvel Cinematic Universe of films.

The MCU overwrote the main Marvel Universe because Marvel didn’t have the rights to most of their characters, used what was left of the roster and made that the main universe, publicized smaller characters for a profit, improvised new ones, and cobbled together all the existing franchises in Marvel history in an attempt to remake all the characters again.

At this point, I don’t know anymore what is the true Marvel universe because of the MCU tarnishing the goodwill of the comic books.

And why go through so much trouble to make a movie when you’re a comic book publisher?
