Why would I want to read comic books? They're shitty, sexist and gross, for shitty, sexist gross manchildren.

The MCU is actually good and the fandom is a positive space for women most of the time.

One point for getting me to reply.

Actually agreed...

“What’s wrong [with the comics industry]? … In the late ’70s, all the comic fans decided to get into the business. The problem is, it was a bunch of superhero fans. And an industry that had, up until that point, catered to almost every genre imaginable slowly and slowly was narrowed down and boiled down to a point where it was superhero comics, and that’s all there were.

And then they all were writing these comics for each other — not for a mass market, not for young people. And then, as they aged, the content aged to suit their needs. And the idea is, when you’re an adult, you’re supposed to turn to other forms of entertainment, maybe, or appreciate comics for what they were. But that hasn’t been the case.

So now we have superheroes that rape, we have heroin addicts, we have all this kind of bullshit that’s been heaped onto these characters that were meant to entertain kids and give them a little sense of right and wrong and adventure. I think it’s so sad. And you see what the strategy has done. …

In 1972, Jimmy Olsen comics sold 200,000 copies a month, and it was canceled because that wasn’t enough to keep it going. These days, the best-selling book can barely scrape past 70,000 — never mind the worst-selling books. So let’s take a look at that strategy that’s been applied to this business. How’d it work out? Not too good. And the less people that read ‘em, the more expensive they have to be, and the more cryptic they have to be to cater to that tiny little market they’ve got.

That’s what’s wrong.”

I also partly blame the Comics Code Authority for hacking down the US comics industry.

I'm really thrilled that manga and web comics are bringing new blood to the US comics market, because as a superhero fan, as someone who as a Women of DC poster hanging in the living room... the industry REALLY needed to open up.

I mean, I have a shelf and a half of comics among my books, and I just looked, and for the first time, there is not a single Big Two book. (Unless you count Incognegro, which is Vertigo.) The only superheros? Zot! and Empowered, both of which are more built around deconstructing superhero conventions of the times they were/are made.

That actually makes me kind of sad.
