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.

It's an interesting look inside the mind of an incel (it's all told from his perspective), but like I said, it is brutal. It doesn't hold anything back. I think it's worth it anyway, but I thought I would warn people now.

I don't doubt it. You know the saying, "everybody is the hero in their own story." I was hoping to gain some insight or relatable thought processes.

Like, imagine watching American History X, but instead of a spiraling cycle of hate and redemption, it's just a guy alone in a room going "Fuck, I hate minorities. Minorities are just the worst. I hate them so much I think I will kill a bunch of people."

If you begin with "females will never touch me because of my big nose and weak chin, so I will call them 'whores' online" then you're already looking at a diseased mind with no redeeming qualities.

I hate to tell you, but the people who commit the atrocities are the ones who hide alone in a room hating themselves for years until they snap.
