#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[AnOminous]

It takes the piss out of a lot of things, and imo even if you get none of them it'll still be good.

It would make sense as a parody of Superman or any other massively OP superhero who, by the rules of the genre, can do anything and should theoretically never run into any challenges.

 

[Boss Bass]

Yeah, but probably not for the reason he thinks. Is he aware One Punch Man is essentially taking the piss out of the generic Shounen?

If you enjoy a parody or homage without knowing the source material, that’s a feature, not a bug.

Someone saw my X-Post:

You can't fool me, coughy boi!

Well. . .it kind of is.

The other day when you asked who draws this well about EVS art, i was tempted to write Yusuke Murata. Here's a very similar scene to the Cyberfrog one.

One of the things i really like is how the action flows in OPM. D&C always complains about how boring comics have gotten and how it is all flat panels now. He should check out the Manga and really compare it to current Marvel, gifs to illustrate my 'flow' point https://imgur.com/gallery/0ASN2 http://onepunchman.wikia.com/wiki/File:Robot_ch21.gif
I also like how it started as a webcomic with Kwanzer AF tier art, but enticed people in with the story so much that it was remade into a Manga and Anime. Video with art comparisons (+generic shitty dubstep music)

Bleeding Cool: Are We Living in the New Golden Age of Comic Books?
Posted by Jude Terror December 6, 2018
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have to ask the question: are we currently experiencing the greatest era in the history of comic books? A lot of people might point to past eras, like the sixties, when the Marvel Universe was founded by the likes of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, or to the 1980s, when we saw seminal works like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns published, or even to the 90s, when the comics industry’s sales exploded. But according to the only empirical evidence for quality available, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more important era in comics than the one we’re living in right now.

Comic Roundup, only 18 scored below a 7 out of 10. Only 3 comics, according to critics average scores, ranked below average, with scores lower than 5. Shatterstar #3, Marvel’s Avengers: Untitled Prelude #1, and Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Team Racing #1 each scored a 4.0 out of 10, with just one review each. 67 books, more than half, scored higher than an 8. 21 comics published this week are scored at 9 or higher, which must surely rank them amongst some of the greatest comics ever published. 2 books, Grumble #1 and Goliath Girls #2, scored a perfect 10 out of 10. Centuries from now, comic historians will rightly reflect on Goliath Girls #2 as one of the most important works of literature of the 21st century.

This week, Zenescope’s Grimm’s Fairy Tales #24 ranked a 9.6, putting it right up there with the actual original Grimm Brothers’ publication on the literary scale. Marvel had four books with a 9.0 or higher: Killmonger #1, Namor: The Best Defense #1, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur #38, and Immortal Hulk #10, which scored a near-perfect 9.6. Eat your hearts out, Lee and Kirby! Put that in your beard and smoke it, Alan Moore!

Can you imagine another time in comics history where so many top-tier comics were published in a single week? And this week isn’t a fluke. The scores are this high every week. We would never assume that most comic book reviewers are hacks with no actual critical skills who waste their time fawning over mediocre-to-slightly-above-average comics and giving them wildly inappropriate scores in an attempt to ingratiate themselves with their heroes in a sycophantic relationship between the comic book media and comic book publishers and creators, so the only logical conclusion we can possibly come to is that this is the single greatest time period in the history of comic book publishing. You can’t dispute the facts.

How does it feel to live through the new Golden Age? Let us know in the comments.

Better question. Is denial just a river in Egypt?

Is every article by this soy gulping jizzbag reminiscent of this guy?

Tbh this part here looks like he’s being sarcastic, hence why I put it in bold.

Although I’ve been wrong everytime I think these speds start gaining some semblance of self awareness.

If that's sarcasm then doesn't that make Bleeding Cool a ComicsGate hive?

I would like to know what percentage of reviewed comics fall under a 7/10 score. I'm willing to bet that there is something similar to the well known IGN effect in place for games. If nothing but the most trash of trash gets reviewed under a 7 then you may as well make the score a 7-10 scale.

Some Pros have gotten real mad if they acknowledge a problem within the industry and someone responds 'welcome to CG'. From Cecil's Twitter

Well, it's ridiculous when they say shit that other people get called Nazis for saying.

It's very clearly a sarcastic article, which means one of two reactions from anti-CG. 1) Completely ignore it because to acknowledge it might have a point is to undermine a fair amount of what they pretend they're fighting for. 2) Try and paint Bleeding Cool as now a repository of CG monsters because one article didn't stay on-message.

The bit about Zenescope makes me giggle, since Zenescope's stuff is pretty blatant T&A teasing with no follow-up. Kind of a shame, really; they need to just jump off the edge, flag their shit for mature readers only and go to town with the nudity.

For a little bit of context: Jude Terror is almost definitely being sarcastic. He used to write for a website called the Outhousers publishing articles like this frequently, to the point that Rich Johnston came to hate him and threw a huge tantrum when Jude was offered a job with BC and I’m pretty sure even wrote articles complaining about the decision. Ever since then Jude’s articles on Bleeding Cool are basically him making fun of Johnston’s articles and the shit Johnston pulls to make himself and his unfounded claims seem more legit.

Seems like Jude’s taking the piss on Johnston’s and Quesada’s “the industry is doing better than ever!!!” here.

You know that thing that everyone says makes EVS a Nazi? It was actually Moose’s idea.

 

[Adamska]

Oh fuck off Glass; if you wanted to be treated like a real person comic book writer, maybe just take the money and don't drive off customers for disagreeing with you on some stupid shit. You lost the opportunity to "bilk money out of the nazis" because you were too chickenshit afraid of what your crazy idiots you call acquaintances would do and too autistic to not run Zack off when he was interested in that book.

 

[AnOminous]

Seems like Jude’s taking the piss on Johnston’s and Quesada’s “the industry is doing better than ever!!!” here.

I'm amazed they even have him there. I'm so used to people writing things like that sincerely at BC that I've become oblivious to sarcasm. I just assumed this was a usual Bleeding Cool article.

That one's not even harassing Glass; just letting him know that there's nothing wrong with making a profit. Well, I suppose he's confronting Glass with uncomfortable ideas, and that's what these people think harassment is in current year, so never mind.

Oof

While the Wheelers were trying to make a business out of Comicsgate they bought all these domains.

But they forgot to buy http://mindywheeler.com and someone else did.
