Comic Book Questions & Discussion

Louder than Carver when I tighten up his leash...?

In terms noise, comparable.

But carver's lips also vibrate at resonance with farts everywhere, amplifying them to KO any person unconscious.

Excluding Pre-Crisis nonsense, of course.

Nothing comes to mind. I know the bios say he has it, and I think he did use it in the PC days, but it's more one of those "if it's Kryptonian and has lungs, it has super breath under a yellow sun" kind of things.

Even Manjobber had the super-breath ability in the Pre-Crisis days and he's the lowest lifeform in the universe vin

Maybe I'm a deviant who has seen too much horse porn, but I swear, this little scene got me horny:

Sif/Bill should have their own MAX book.

Sif/Sin has a hammer fetish

And yet Marvel excels in all areas

Comics: Marvel has outsold DC for 40 years straight except for a short time period during Rebirths kickoff. Also, looking at the top 25 selling books will almost always be at least 3/4 Marvel and most DC books in the top 25 are Batman or Harley Quinn
Movies: that's obviously Marvel. Do we even have to detail this?
Animation: Marvel.Into The Spiderverse is still the best animated comic movie EVER.
Games: We ain't gonna sit here and keep letting Batman fanboys act like three Arkham games just makes DC the winner. The sidescrolling four player X Men arcade beater is a classic. Any Marvel vs whoever fighting game is classic. Marvel Ultimate Alliance sold PS3s. Spider-Man is GotY level. Miles game will be, too. And Avengers is fire. Three Arkham games ain't better than all that. Marvel wins

TV Shows: Marvel by a landslide. If it's not a streaming service or movie, it's TV. It's 2020 not 1980. Let's stop acting like cable is separate from television. Runaways and Cloak & Dagger alone beat the brakes off those horrible CW shows. Every show in CW except Black Lightning is pure shit tier. Arrow and Flash USED TO be good in their first two seasons. So, Marvel wins.

It's not up for dispute, DC isn't better than Marvel at anything.

DC is so much more than super-heroes. They have (had) multiple sub imprints that are much better quality than Marvel's like Wildstorm or Vertigo. CBR did an article not too long ago about DC having twice as much Eisner awards than any other publisher, because of their multiple imprints.

I'd listen to Zack here. He wrote the article. 👆

Might not be up to date if he's made any appearances in recent times. But has a lot of stuff.

thanks!

∆∆ I know. That's why I said they had.

Anyway here is the article

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/25-years-of-the-eisner-awards/amp/

Publisher bragging rights go to DC Comics, which has published the most Eisner-winning comics and creators, with a staggering 250. Seventy-one of those are from Vertigo, and 33 from the discontinued WildStorm (which includes 23 from the America's Best Comics line). Even excluding the Kirbys, DC is more than 100 trophies ahead of the next publisher on the list.

8. And who would that be? Dark Horse has given DC a good run for its money over the years. In fact, for a number of years in the '80s and '90s, the two often walked away with nearly the same number of awards. They're attached to 121 Eisner wins.

GOLO where you been. I heard you died after 1984, someone must be on your account.

Vertigo comics were some of the best comics ever wrote

I guess the only way to decide who is a better comicbook company is to have a battlezone. It seems Darkhorse belongs to the competition going by amount of comics published vs prizes

Who wants to rep:

1) Marvel
2) DC
3) Darkhorse

Any other?

You should include Image in that list, too.

Outside of the Batman Arlham stuff DC has nothing but an average MK rip off in Injustice. Marvel Lego games sell just as much as the DC ones. And truthfully if its not COD, Madden or 2K the general public doesn't know about a game dropping unless they are looking for it.
Batman and Superman are global pop icons. Because those are the only two characters DC focuses on. They keep going to those two over and over instead of taking chances with new characters.

SHIELD regularly git more ratings than the CW stuff. And nearly every streaming show got critical and fan praise for being original and pushing the envelop. While DC turned every show into teen dramas; bad teen dramas and appeals to comic book fans.

Marvel's entire sthick from the 60's until now was to sell multiple characters. Theres a reason why most studios jumped in buying their IP up over the indies.

even their cartoons aren't successful without Batman.
Honestly there's a reason why AT&T cut their staff by 15%

Marvel shouldn't have 65% of the market that's insane . DC had 45% of it 10 years ago now its down to 40%. Hell Marvel only had 50% of the market 10 years ago. Marvel isn't making really good books or lessen their count of books either. If I were everyone start to wonder why one business model works and when the other is being subdized by massive companies to survive. Remember Marvel been kicking DC's without Disney for decades and Warner backed DC since the 70's.

As someone who wants the industry to grow and to adapt and to get new readers. I would suggest DC do the following.
1. Fire all the staff start from scratch.
2. Let's kill Batman off for a decade.
3. Get some actual big name writers not comicbook writers but tv and novel writers.
4. Start promoting books on YouTube, TV and other apps. Start paying major influencer to promote your shit.
5. Go in school and start showing your characters off. Show the kids there's a character for everyone no matter the race, religion, and nationality
6. Actually have a cohesive universe

And also, give secondary characters major shine for awhile , not just a one off story. Get the fans interest then drop a good mini or two. Don’t just drop a solo and half ass push it.
