    The reason they make bait like this is because it sells. This is what a prolific writer at DC had to say about it.

    Fans get treated like shit because they pay to get treated like shit.

        That's been their M.O. for years now. Hype up a first issue, get a temporary bump in sales and then use it as an excuse to ignore the systemic problems killing the industry.

        Why do you think captain marvel had like 6 reboots in half a decade?

        Not me I left, I haven’t bought a comic in a year. Hell I haven’t read a new comic in that same time frame.

        Does anyone even buy manga outside of Japan? Most people just read it online.

          Most people buy manga. It's a better reading experience.

            I doubt it. Most people don't even read manga.
            >It's a better reading experience.
            True, but this can also be said about newspapers and magazines, however most people today read them online. Also, not everyone knows Japanese.

          Manga sells better in the west than comic books.

            I mean I think most things sell better than comics so that is not exactly saying much.

              It is when they're competing in the same market.

          There are like 3 big shelves full of manga at my library. That's as much if not even more then the fantasy + sci-fi book section. I doubt they could afford that much shelf space for something that doesn't sell.

      But aren't comic sales in the gutter?
      Are they just saying whatever isn't the absolute bottom 'sells'?

        American comic book sales are in the gutter. There's going to have to be a mass culling of the current crop of 'writers'. Meanwhile, porn manga makes its way into bookstores under the LGPT label.

            Most of the time when they make a character gay it just comes off as mean spirited like:
            >See what I did to that character? You gonna cry about it, nerd?
            Meanwhile, if DC or Marvel put out a halfway decent gay comic aimed at fujo it would probably do well.

    Aging up Jon was the most moronic thing they've ever done. Bendis should have been blacklisted from the industry entirely.

      Maybe if the blacks stop killing their own trans teenagers, the whole country wouldn't need to do the solidarity thing. It's a major trend a couple years now. It's one thing if it's a gang war thing. But most of the trans girls viciously murdered are kids. They are kids and they're getting killed for doing nothing but dressing as the gender of their souls

    Because comic writers cannot write to save their lives and the lack of consistency. Why would I care about anything in a western comic when it will eventually get retconned? The "woke" stuff is honestly pennies compared to that.
