Comic Books
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.

I don't mean to be sarcastic but true mean this. How can I become as educated as you in comic or anything else. That was a damn good read to start my morning. That is genuinely best thing I have read of this year and half of last year and I am a wikiphile.
That's really nice of you to say :)
I'm far from a real comic expert, just a dude that's been into comics since I was a kid.
When you're deep into it as a hobby, you talk to other comic geeks and comic nerds. You have endless conversations about exactly this kind of thing, and your comic friends are pulling back issues from boxes to refer to lol.
Time and repetition at least give the impression of knowledge and/or skill, in other words.
