[QUOTE="El Chinito loco, post: 990011, member: 5462"] I used to read comics as a kid and most of the crap put out now is unreadable. I've tried a few times in the past to revisit this for nostalgia reasons but comic writing now really blows. The comics "industry" burned itself down in the 90's through overprinting bullshit gimmicks and churning out endless heaps of trash. This was done to market to mainstream speculators who thought comics were like the stock market. Now that all the decent intellectual property is optioned by studios or produced into movies already they are fresh out of new ideas. The really creative guys (like Alan Moore or Grant Morrison) usually write stuff that's too hard to turn into movies to begin with. The reason why they are going full SJW is that there's nothing to lose now. They aren't afraid to alienate readers because the only comic readers left are mostly stunted man children and SJWs. They can endlessly reboot this shit and this demographic will still buy whatever is put out. Comic titles used to get 1 million+ print runs and had massive readership. Now if a title has a print run over 200k it's considered wildly successful. The medium has been dying for some time now. This is like taking the lame horse out behind the barn and putting a bullet inbetween its eyes. [/QUOTE]
