I'm from a LATAM country and while I was inside a known bookshop from my country, I saw how many comics aren't translated to Spanish and are fully in English. Comparing that to manga, which are almost always sold fully translated in Spanish, it's awful.

I know that there are speciality comic stores, but they're often in richer areas and there aren't many. And even those have the same issue.

It's crazy, but 95% of these blind bags are all the same exact cover. Cover H. Confirmed through multiple stores opening tons of them.

Complete rip off.

Anyone else been Judge Dredd-curious? I've read the character over the years, and enjoyed tf out of the Karl Urban film adaptation. With 2000 AD now shipping new issues weekly in America, the creative teams are kicking off a new jumping on point for new readers. It feels like it dovetails with what's been impossible to ignore here in the states -- or at the very least, I dug what Rob Williams and Arthur Wyatt are doing with the "A Better World" followup.

Anyone get complete sticker shock today going onto the MyComicShop website and seeing literally ALL recent back issues in near mint condition uniformly go up to $10?!?! And very fine condition all go up to $8?!?! And so on.

Seriously. Go out and look. It’s their new pricing tool in full effect to fuck you over. If the issue is not the current issue of the series then the price automatically goes up to $10. Across the board. It is unbelievable. As soon as the newest issue hits then the one before it that was just selling for, say, $4.99 on their site is now $10.

If this isn’t a major fuckup on their part and is truly what they think the value of that comic now is, then I would hope all of you that use their site will send them an email letting them know what you think about their new pricing tool. I did.

I was distraught that I missed out on the humble bundle of creepy, which was a year ago I believe, I just didn't have disposable income at the time and could only buy the $1 tier where I got Vol 1-3; and apparently humble also did one for Eerie in a similar time window that I just was not around to visit, so I gobbled this full bundle pretty quickly -I believe it is 61 comics total.

Downloading them seems to be a pain though on mobile

DC's Absolute line is all the rage, praised up to the 7th heaven.

But how's the quality of the mainline books? Like, what's the average quality across the board? It's obviously not as hyped as the Absolute line but are they any good?

In an interview with Near Mint Condition, Camp and Rodriguez discuss the idea behind the "Martian-vision" pages - the script originally utilized the effect of turning the page, but Rodriguez, while swimming at an outdoor pool, came up with the idea to let the sunlight shine through the page, allowing the reader to see the image on the reverse.

So when i was recommended to look for indie comics outside of the big 2, i was looking for comics that didnt have a company name attached to them.

However i was then told that stuff like invincible, saga, twd, and hellboy are considered indie comics.

Now in the gaming sphere, indie typically refers to a game being self published or published by a small company.

Now i realize that these companies are nowhere near as big as marvel or dc, but image, skybound, dark horse, etc are still pretty big companies with tons of comics under their names.

What makes a comic "indie"?

The batman beyond comic is a book i bought way before i got into reading them. I did have the long halloween but i gave it to a friend.

On the first page of this comic, it says the story takes place between the panels of Captain Britain #9 (1976), but I can't for the life of me see where it fits in! Does anyone have any ideas how it all works?

...Cyborg Superman, right? Any historical record or flashback shows Superman/boy entirely in silhouette, with only Imra's vision showing the true, 'regular' Clark.

This seems to be all but confirmed in the Superman: Year One Thousand Annual, which ends with Brainiac bottling various Legion futures, and summoning Cyborg Superman to ensure no further Legions rise. At which point, Cyborg Superman says "If the future hopes for a new Legion... I will be their inspiration."

Cyborg Superman has for sure inserted him into that universe's timeline, corrupting the flow of events, to lead to the future we're seeing in Williamson and Sherman's current series, right?
