Sucks how there's basically no sci-fi comics due to capes killing all other genres. I genuinely hate that the only apparent material is indie trash or euroshit. And no, capeshit doesn't count, even if it has sci-fi elements.
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
>Cinemaphile only cares about capeshit movies and refuses to talk about other genres
Typical.
Oh piss off. For all comic gays whine about no one caring about other genres they never hold discussion over said other genres. They'd rather seethe over everyone else.
I have been trying desperately to talk about sci-fi comics, and all you morons do is tell me to frick off just because I'd rather look up material myself instead of letting you try to induct me into your hipster fandoms. Frick you.
What in the frick does that have to do with shilling? Are you just butthurt because you don't actually know why other genres can't get any ground in the medium?
>Are you just butthurt because you don't actually know why other genres can't get any ground in the medium?
They do though. But if I bring that up, you'll accuse me of shilling for some godforsaken reason.
Okay I HAVE to ask this, do you have some mental issues? Like I'm not trying to troll here but you truly seem like you have some sort of issue.
>I have been trying desperately to talk about sci-fi comics, and all you morons do is tell me to frick off just because I'd rather look up material myself
If you were so supposedly that desperate to talk about sci-fi comics, why don't you talk about what you've found? Why does it have to be about how sci-fi is dead; that would bum me out personally.
>why don't you talk about what you've found?
Because I haven't found anything that looked like it's worth checking out. Paper Girls sounds fricking stupid. Low sounds kinda neat, but it's Remender, so frick that. And again, I'm not reading fricking Saga of all things. What little is there is shit.
everything sounds stupid to you because you have your fingers in your ears and your mind made up that everything "is fricking stupid"
(people who can't go a sentence without cursing sound like morons)
>euroshit
your taste is shit
I have never read a euro comic that was good. Ever.
>"You should be banned for trying to talk about comics."
B R U H
Clearly not what I wrote but your obviously moronic so I don't blame you lol
What are some good sci-fi comics you've ready recently?
There aren't any sci-fi comics on the market. That's the problem. If there was something to read, I'd read it.
You can't call something spam just because you don't like the topic, dumbfrick.
It’s your friendly attitude that drives your threads to the top of the catalog. Gj0t0d
Literally last thread you posted yesterday had people giving suggestions about new Syfy comics and you called them shills and told them to go frick themselves. So clearly yo down want to read anything new, you just want to throw a temper tantrum like a child.
So he complains that capeshit is killing sci fi comics yet when people bring up other sci fi comics he throws a fit?
The frick does he want?
To just b***h and moan it seems. Just an autistic moron.
Capeshitters are worse than actual capeshit fans.
As somebody who was diagnosed with Asperger's when they were 4, I object to being lumped in with dipshits like OP.
Anywho, who likes Dan Dare?
My apologies. I'll call him a whiny b***h instead.
I'll give it a listen. Thanks.
I didn't ask for suggestions, you moronic shill. Maybe don't shove garbage in peoples' faces unbidden. It's not that complicated, dumbass.
>time travel
>in a story about a bunch of teens starting a paper route
What?
>in a story about a bunch of teens starting a paper route
Why wouldn't it have time travel? Is a paper route antithetical to sci-fi?
>Is a paper route antithetical to sci-fi?
I mean, kinda? Why the hell is this a story that features time travel?
I haven't fricking read it. It's a story about a bunch of teens starting a paper route. Why the hell would I ever want to read that?
Because it clearly has more to it than just girls with a paper route. Are you slow in the head or something?
…You do realize the paper route isn't the entire story right?
I rest my case.
Why are you so offended? Are you just physically incapable of not shilling? Whatever, I'm sick of this, and I just want to talk about how sci-fi comics have fallen out of favor.
Alright sci-fi comics have fallen out of favor. Capeshit has killed the genre altogether.
Now what?
Now let's discuss WHY that's the case. It can't just be that capeshit killed literally every single other genre in comics. While true, it feels like a wholly inadequate explanation.
>Because it clearly has more to it than just girls with a paper route.
Like what? Why does that premise include time travel? This book sounds like shit, quite frankly.
> It can't just be that capeshit killed literally every single other genre in comics. While true, it feels like a wholly inadequate explanation.
Anon already brought up Seduction of the Innocent. That’s why.
Again, the CCA being the single thing that ruined the medium is far too simplistic to be accurate.
That’s pretty much what happened though. Seduction of the Innocent caused a moral panic that lead to people cracking down harder in comic books. Superhero stories managed to circumvent this and managed to thrive even under heavy censorship while other genres couldn't. I don't know what else to tell you.
This has to be the most restricted "conversation" I've ever participated in.
So then what the frick is stopping other genres from being expanded on now? And don't tell me it's because "it doesn't sell", Marvel and DC being incapable of marketing their own products is not an acceptable excuse nor an explanation for why capes are the only game in town.
>So then what the frick is stopping other genres from being expanded on now?
I'd tell you but you'd accuse me of shilling.
>Marvel and DC being incapable of marketing their own products is not an acceptable excuse nor an explanation for why capes are the only game in town.
Marvel and DC are IP farms; they mostly live off existing IPs which just happens to be capes and cowls. Simple as.
So then what the frick is everyone else's excuse? The big two aren't the only publishers out there, but apparently the other ones have shitty marketing departments too.
No they fricking don't. If they did, I'd be happily reading those books and I wouldn't feel the need to waste my time b***hing about how there's no good sci-fi comics to read.
>you'll accuse me of shilling for some godforsaken reason.
Because you'd be shilling. I didn't fricking ask for recs, so keep it to yourself, moron. It's not that complicated.
>So then what the frick is everyone else's excuse?
Everyone else does publish sci-fi though.
>No they fricking don't.
They do publish sci-fi comics. Maybe not sci-fi comics you personally like but they publish a wide variety of genres.
Everyone is "shilling" is because obviously you can't find any Syfy comics seeing as you keep saying that the genre is dead (it's not) and they are trying to help.
>So then what the frick is everyone else's excuse?
well they put out sci fi comics but you won't let us mention them
Right? Like discussion is over, no need to make another thread asking this again.
>Like what? Why does that premise include time travel? This book sounds like shit, quite frankly.
The premise is
>Paper Girls follows the story of four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls (Erin, MacKenzie, KJ, and Tiffany) set in Stony Stream, a fictional suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. As they are out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween, the town is struck by an invasion from a mysterious force from the future. The girls become unwillingly caught up in the conflict between two warring factions of time travelers.
You can think it sounds like shit but I hope you can grasp it better now.
If there aren't any sci-fi comics how come people in this thread have named plenty?
Image usually publishes some every year but they're mostly shit and die quickly.
Weird Science, Weird Fantasy and Weird Science-Fantasy were all pretty good. Kamen and Wood drew the best chicks, Williamson the best monsters and Orlando was the best all-rounder in my opinion. By George! was a great story.
Ion Mud by Amaury Bundgen
Not exactly a modern comic, but I found a weird British comic called The Tower King, about a guy in charge of a group of survivors holed up in the Tower of London after electricity stopped working across the entire planet. It had some fun ideas, like mutants living in the Underground or a cult of NHS staff dedicated to removing people's hearts, but it didn't last too long. I guess there's only so many weird takes you can have on a post-apocalyptic Britain.
Descender, read descender. Descender is incredible.
Challengers of the Unknown is a fantastic one
It's probably quite literally the next most popular genre
Yet instead of just "lurking moar" you spam threads seething. What DO you want? A cookie? To be told your a special little guy?
I want to discuss and speculate on reasons why sci-fi comics have fallen out of favor.
It’s not a fricking mystery. If you knew anything about comic history, you’d know the answer “Why is there so much capeshit and no X in comics anymore?” It always goes back to one book.
>looks around for ages
>only found Saga
Oh so you are moronic
No no, I just know one of you fricking shills is going to bring it up. I refuse, so don't even bother.
literally no one on Cinemaphile would ever recommend or has ever recommended that book moron
Cinemaphile talks about Saga all the time. You're cracked.
source?
No, seriously. Why is paper Girls listed as sci-fi? I thought it was about a bunch of teens starting a paper route.
The act that Cinemaphile talks about Saga all the time. Lurk the frick moar.
Why the frick is Paper Girls listed under sci-fi?
There's time travel in it. Did you read the first issue?
>indie trash
Like what?
>yesterday
Why does Cinemaphile have such dedicated autists?
So OP literally wants everyone to b***h and moan with him and is angry that no one wants to join his moronic circle jerk. You ever thought of just making a discord op?
I love how sexy and goofy old spacesuits in scifi used to be.
OP why are you shilling Weird Science? Nobody asked.
>... That's fricking moronic.
You're free to think that. Hell you may even be right. I just hope I answered your question about it relating to science fiction.

I didn't hear a no.
yea i'm in bud!
What's your opinion on it?
I haven't gotten that far but I'm liking what I've read so far. I wanted to check this out after my college professor gave it a thumbs up.

>... I think more sci-fi comics ought to exist, you fricking moron. Is that somehow not clear?
It would be more clear if you gave examples of what exactly you'd like to see in those comics, because so far people have posted a lot of examples of sci-fi comics and you've called them trash.
you're incapable of conversation. you have nothing to say that isn't cursing and blubbering and shitting your pants
lol cry moar
I like quieter moments in comics like this.
One of the rare times casual 80s un PC-ness is accurately depicted.
I've gotta say, satan, looking at all these pages, I'm not a fan of Chiang's art, and I already don't like BKV.
I may never read this.
This is a bait thread, friend.
Fair enough anon. I feel you gave it a fairer shot compared to a certain someone. Might use the recs here for future story times.
In what delusional candyland am I in anyway obligated to give this piece of shit "a fair shot"? It's a book about a group of kids who start a paper route and get caught between two factions of time travelers. In a sane world, the idiot who pitched this would've been slapped upside the head and told to frick off until they could come up with a real story.
Uh huh. You know I'm right. Just look at the shit Chaykin's putting out... well I was gonna say 'these days', but frankly, he's being doing that cracked shit his entire career.
You'd find any reason to hate Image let's be honest.
Seriously why are you guys still engaging with him? He's going to say the same shit to drag you in circles.
Why are you storytiming in a discussion thread?
OP has the same discussion practically daily and everyone still falls for it. Why not mix it up?
>expecting jannies to do their jobs
Oh anon…
There's been no more autistic screeching. I think they actually got him.
And just when I thought mods were competent for once.
I blame myself for being naïve.
The fact you honestly think someone should be banned for trying to have a discussion is one f the most pathetically disgusting things I've every seen on this pisshole site.
frick it i'm going to bed
goodnight, moron
i'm going to go read some sci fi comics
You were trying to have a discussion? Could've fooled me, all you were saying is shill, edge, and whatever vomit fell out
YES. I've been trying to talk about how there's a lack of sci-fi comics. Fricks sake.
Bruh, the lack of sci-fi comics is a fact.
>lack of sci-fi comics
If people can name multiple sci-fi comics, is there really a lack of them?
Compared to capeshit? Yes.
Again, blaming literally everything on the CCA is a cop out. There's literally no excuse in the modern day to not diversify output.
>Compared to capeshit? Yes.
Not what lack of means. That's like saying there's a lack of black people in American because there's less of them than whites.
Samegay?
No, it's just a pretty basic point. Absolute numbers don't matter if you're trying to talk about how prevalent something is. You have to look at the overall industry. So being able to name some sci-fi comics doesn't matter if they're a tiny fraction of the industry.
In relative terms, yes, if they are a fraction of overall comic ouput.
>they’re only a fraction
But you still have plenty for you to read.
Read an American comic for sci-fi? Ha, no thank you, friend. Manga never dropped that ball like the American industry did decades ago.
>east vs west gay
Why the frick are you even here then? Stick to manga if that's what makes you happy.
>implying manga has good sci-fi
Kek
This, most manga "scifi" is extremely soft or must involve mecha shit I think Shirow Masamune and Yukito Kishiro is some of the only good actual scifi mangakas out there.
>how there's a lack of sci-fi comics
what's your age, IQ, and # of sexual partners?
Same answer for all three questions: 27.
>the lack of sci-fi comics is a fact
That’s not what I was asking. I wanna know what discussion you are expecting to have once somebody replies “Yeah, man. Shit sucks.”
Here, I don’t really read comics, (more of a cartoon person) so I actually don’t have a dog in this race, but I’ll humor you and roleplay. Ready? Here goes:
Yeah, man. Shit sucks.
That reminds me, there's not really any sci-fi cartoons these days either.
There's like fifteen of them at most. That's practically nothing. Lack of doesn't necessarily mean literally nonexistent.
> not really any sci-fi cartoons these days either
Have you seen Pantheon? It’s pretty good.
>There's like fifteen of them at most.
There's more than that, I checked. You just have small reference pools and would rather seethe about capeshit than expand your horizons.
>expand your horizons
Ah yes, I should totally starting such RIVETING titles such as-
>reads the synopsis of Joyride

are you really trying to shill your garbage again?
I disagree with your fact. Now discuss as to why.
Back to storytiming
This thread is going swell…
You don't say.
What a boring comic about girls on a paper route.
No, I'm just waiting for you all to get over yourselves and actually have a real on topic discussion. Again, not sure why you're so opposed to the idea, but whatever.
>spams the same topic for days on end
>plays the victim when people get sick of his shit
i've reported him, i'm just waiting for the janitors to do their job
It's honestly really funny.
How about you make your own thread and spam this garbage there? Fricktard.
See, this is why I hate rec shit so much. It creates an echo chamber. Nobody is allowed to have an opinion because thou shalt not go against the sacred list. Frick off.
you don't have an opinion because you haven't read anything, including a synopsis, of the books being mentioned
Can't have an opinion on something that may as well not exist.
You only read 2000 AD because it's something you've actually heard of.
No. I'm always willing to read shit I've never heard of before if it looks good.
Also are you admitting that 2000AD counts as sci-fi being published that isn't indie trash or euro shit?
Shouldn't this be called Paper Grrrrls?
No, from what I've seen of it, it wasn't _that_ bad!
you're the only one here being an unhelpful dick
if you smell shit everywhere you go, check your own shoes
I have no obligation to help you with anything for any reason.
Then you're illiterate and can't read the room. Frick off and stop spamming this shit in my thread. Make your own.
Seriously, this has to be the most spammed thread in Cinemaphile history.
Ik it's hilarious. Like I truly believe this guy isn't trolling, his head is truly so far into his own ass.
>Because they did what I did and typed "sci fi comics" into their search bar. Dumbass.
I have been reading 2000AD for years frick off.
Besides those still count even if people found out about them from a five minute google search.
Can you name some examples of sci-fi media you like?
Frick does that have to do with anything?
Projection? I'm just calling out facts. "People" who do this asinine storytime crap are all attention seeking c**ts who want everyone's lips attached to their asses.
>Frick does that have to do with anything?
Because it would help to illustrate what types of comics you think should exist.
>I genuinely hate that the only apparent material is indie trash or euroshit
What is the issue with euro comics and indie comics exactly? Being less mainstream keeps them normie free.
This guy hates other publishers for some reason. Always talking shit about Image, Dark Horse, Valiant, IDW, etc.
Yeah, can't see why anyone could ever have a problem with Image. Moron.
I genuinely don't understand why it's so hard for you idiots to comprehend that shilling is annoying as frick.
Case in point; dumbass still thinks Image is in its 90s edgy phase. Liefeld doesn't even own Youngblood, limp dick.
>Image
>not edgy anymore
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Exhibit B; he pulls up The Walking Dead as if we're supposed to be shocked that a zombie comic is dark and violent. Wonder if he knows this imprint licensed out a Ninjago comic?
>Lego shit
Wow, as if I didn't have enough reason to hate Image.
You need to define what good sci-fi is in order for us to discuss it.
Indies are always shit, because they're inevitably the deranged manifesto of some ultra political basement dwelling psycho who desperately wants to go on a spree shooting. Euroshit is always pretentious fartty garbage with terrible watercolor artwork.
It's a story about a group of kids starting a paper route. Frick off.
That sounds comfy to me.
Can you explain how pic related is pretentious fartty garbage I was under the impression it was a silly comic about gauls fighting romans
The pretense is that the comic erroneously thinks it's funny or clever.
No I don't, because the topic I wanted to discuss is the lack of sci-fi titles in the mainstream or even visible market. The fact one has to go digging for this stuff is frankly disgusting. Compared to capeshit, it's quite rare to see a straight up sci-fi book anywhere.
Wrong.
We can't discuss what is absent if what is absent is undefined.
... Motherfricker, do you not know what science fiction is?
You need to properly explain it and give specific examples because based on how these threads have gone so far, you're the only one here who knows.
You seriously don't know what science fiction is. Holy fricking shit.
I thought I did, but that was before I read your posts and realized that you're the only one who knows.
SAMEhomosexualS
>these morons are literally too stupid to google 'science fiction'

Because it's a fricking lie and you just want to drag everyone down with your b***hing?
How is it “talking about” something if you’re just waiting for someone to agree with you completely?
I'm more interested in what his definition of edgy is. Fricker keeps calling everything edgelord.
Why not answer his question? If you know so much you shouldn't have any issues.
>some basement dwelling psycho who desperately wants to go on a spree shooting

You say there's no Sci-fi comics, people point out there are, and give examples.
Because decent SF is harder to write than Fantasy -- which is what cape comics are.
EC did some good stuff. They cribbed from genuine writers. Bradbury 'politely' reminded them they hadn't paid for their swipe.
Let me give you a recent example, something I just read yesterday. First manned mission to Mars. Whichever country lands a human there first gets to claim the entire planet. No one has the technology to land a man and bring him back, but a one-way trip is feasible. They pick some shmuck who's dying of cancer anyway. Once he plants a flag, he's expendable.
What does Mars have that makes it all worth it? Turns out Mars has vast reserves of hydrocarbons, which an energy-starved Earth needs. Obviously, this is nonsense. Bringing back Helium Three from the Moon MIGHT be economically feasible -- if we had fusion reactors to burn it in. But oil from Mars?
Adapting SF novels would work, for at least a while. The Europeans have done some fine adaptions of Joe Haldeman's work. "Forever War" and "Buying Time" (though they changed the title of the latter). Of course, they've also turned out a lot of pointless shit. Some nice art but totally incomprehensible. Sturgeon's Law: "90 percent of SF is crap. 90 percent of Everything is crap."
Marvel tried SF comics once. Hired some real SF writers to work on the basic premises of a cheap FTL drive having been invented and the plans posted on the Internet. Only lasted 4 or 5 issues.
http://theporporbooksblog.blogspot.com/2017/03/the-land-of-nod-from-open-space-issue-1.html
And let me guess, these books failed because the publishers didn't give them any substantial promotion. I mean it's entirely possible they were crap, but the fact most people have never heard of this particular endeavor speaks volumes. Incompetent bastards.
American comics are so heavily associated with capeshit at this point that basically nobody is looking at them for serious scifi, this is kind of the problem anytime comics try to branch out to other genres the stigma of capeshit is so strong its almost impossible to attract a new audience, the existing audience isn't interested anything that isn't capeshit and new audience aren't even considering them as a place for potential stories its a real catch-22 the comics industry has struggled to escape from.
OP won't mention any sci fi media he likes, because
1) he's a coward and that opens him up to criticism (not like he's not getting shit all over for being a complete dumbfrick anyway)
2) that ruins his schtick of shitting over everything
See
It's the fault of moronic publishers
>OP won't mention any sci fi media he likes, because
Because it's irrelevant to the actual topic of the thread. The one you buttholes are really desperate to avoid for some reason.
it's extremely fricking relevant, actually
No, it really isn't. The fact that sci-fi comics aren't a thing in the mainstream market has frick all to do with my personal tastes. You're just trying to deflect away from the actual topic because you're a stupid b***h who ruses to have a discussion about anything unless you can shill obscure crap that nobody cares about. Now for the love of frick, lets PLEASE get back on topic.

Okay, sure, I'll just go ahead and read all those big name sci-fi comics. Well regarded titles such as... um, y'know... Oh right. There aren't any.
Vertigo is a DC imprint, how is that not mainstream?
Because Vertigo is where DC tossed all their edgelord garbage they can't get away with in their regular books. besides, nobody considers imprints to be legitimate publishers. It's why nobody cares about, say, Wildstorm.

I just checked the last thread, some of the recs look interesting
The only downside is that people couldn't post more recs.
I never heard of this eternaut thing but it looks cool I never tried b/w scifi stuff
gonna look it up on the name alone because ewing's similarly named infinaut and that was some pretty good scifi
Storytiming isn't flooding. By that logic every storytime would be wiped off this board. And yes, people do storytimes in random threads too if they're dogshit.
>By that logic every storytime would be wiped off this board.
They certainly should be. Just like with recs, all storytimes do is create echo chamber and maliciously influence opinions. And again, if someone can't be arsed to seek the thing out themselves, they don't deserve to have it at all.
No, you were absolutely shilling. The very format of those posts read like a fricking store page.
>if someone can't be arsed to seek the thing out themselves, they don't deserve to have it at all

>Storytiming isn't flooding.
It is when you're doing it in a discussion thread that isn't specifically about that comic.
As I've mentioned, it's free for anyone if the thread is dog shit
And that's that. Frick you OP and I hope everyone has a good night.
>"It's okay to flood a thread if I don't like it."
You're a goddamn moron. And even then, maybe you'd like the thread more if you actually stayed n topic.
You don’t get to talk when you pull shit like this.
>everyone who calls me out for breaking the rules is OP
Repeatedly making threads about the same topic isn't as bad as spamming in someone else's thread just because you don't like it. If he made multiple at once it would be a fair comparison.

newbie
It is when it's derailing a discussion.
We know it's you OP.
Nope, I'm just calling out rule breaking.
>I can choose to break the site's rules if I don't like a thread.
I'm almost done with this. Just extra goodies at this point.
Who's coping? I genuinely don't care if you read it; I want to eat up the post limit faster. And give people joy if possible.
>outright admitting to flooding
Bruh.
Could ask the same to you. I certainly didn't ask for recs, and yet you shoved them in my face regardless. Go frick yourself.
This sparked joy, good anon

No it isn't. You heard it here folks, according to moron here, you can only ever talk about something once, ever, or it's spam. Dumbass.
>needing recs
Why does nobody on this board seem capable of using their damn search bar?
>You heard it here folks, according to moron here, you can only ever talk about something once, ever, or it's spam.
If it's fricking daily it is spam moron. What kind of autist needs to make the same topic over and over?
>daily
You're delusional. And made the thread twice because I want to talk about sci-fi comics, but the thread got derailed both fricking times because none of you want to actually have this conversation for some reason.
>inb4 "But we tried to give recs!"
NOBODY FRICKING ASKED FOR RECS. If you are physically incapable of talking about comics without shilling crap, then I guess that's it, and we simply can't discuss anything.
Nobody was even giving you recs, we were literally just talking about other sci fi comics. Fricking Christ you're literally the only person who doesn't want to have a conversation.
>You're delusional. And made the thread twice because I want to talk about sci-fi comics
>twice
Why do you lie?
What using a search bar count as a rec? After all, the search engine is making recommendations for you.
holy dumbfrick batman

who asked you?
I think that a lot of the "no sci-fi left" problem is that writers and artists arn't as imaginative as they used to be. It used to be that any half an idea was all it took to make a Spiderman villain, or a Hulk monster of the week, or a threat for Superman to solve. Even those who claim that the X-Men is an alternate religion comic book couldn't deny that there used to be science fiction underneath the Jean soap opera. To be fair there were some strong sci-fi comics a few years ago. My favorites were ones with the old semi-Kirby art, too. Captain America getting depowered, Omac Kenan, Fantastic Four. But I do admit there are no ongoing with short stories, like the House of Mystery or the "Squa Font" Space Adventure stuff.
Meanwhile on reddit (ducks a tomato, a potato, and two reddit messages about your posts being removed because some butthurt reported your post as off topic because he Couldn't be proven wrong) the HFY short story writers fridge keeps on going.
Those short stories suck moron. The west in general never had imagination.

anybody can open the archive up and look for themselves

>is refuted
kek op is a blatant moron
>refuted
I looked it up, and the number of sci-fi comics is pitiful. We should discuss/speculate on the root cause of this phenomenon.
Why can't we talk about the comics themselves?
Because the comics themselves are not the point of the discussion.
>being illiterate
Clearly you missed the part where I called it garbage.
and you're an autistic selective reader
Do you have any theories on the root cause?
Jews. That's the reason.
Executives being stupid, creators being stagnant, readers being complacent, etc.
>forcing two genres that are fundamentally opposed
>imaginative
You're an idiot.
>forcing two genres that are fundamentally opposed
>imaginative
That unironically does take imagination. What, you gonna shit on weird westerns next?
>fundamentally opposed
What? Fantasy and sci-fi are the most entwined genres.
He isn't completely wrong tbh scifi offerings in comics is pretty pathetic, vast majority is just licensed shit (Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, Doctor Who etc.) I can't really think of any big scifi franchises that originated in comics besides 2000 AD/Judge Dredd of which their isn't really an American equivalent (that isn't old as shit) like how many scifi adventure comics about actually exploring planets and meeting aliens can you think of? Its usually just some soft scifi/fantasy thing like Saga or very low end of the genre like zombies, time travel and post-apocalyptic. Yeah some capeshit like GL and LOSH actually do scifi genre justice at times but they're honestly held back by being forced into the superhero box at the end of the day but I guess its still the closest we have to actual epic scifi in modern comics.
People have literally been posting different sci fi comics that fit none of those categories. Cinemaphile has such a narrow definition of genres it's embarrassing; not everything needs to be franchised.
Yes and all of them are shit, like I already mentioned its mostly really low end scifi like post-apocalyptic or alternative history hardly high concept stuff about the future of humanity or exploring actual scientific concepts I mean you can call a lot of stuff "scifi" but we all know what people really want is something involving space travel, speculative futurism and aliens.
>hardly high concept stuff about the future of humanity or exploring actual scientific concepts
That's not even a comics exclusive thing
>actual epic scifi
Not all science fiction is space opera adventures.
Seriously, why is the genre so lacking nowadays? The CCA's legacy only goes so far. There's nothing actually stopping anyone from making non-cape books.
>Its usually just some soft scifi/fantasy thing like Saga
This shit is why I cannot stand the thought of reading Saga. Frick "science fantasy" fake ass genre. Any moron who thinks mixing science and magic is a good idea needs to be slapped upside the head.
>mixing genres is…le bad
It astounds me that a board about comics and cartoons can attract so many unimaginative people.
it's just a shitpost with extra steps
the moron thinks the fantasy part of science fantasy involves actual fantasy elements, one I can name is star wars
other wise the fantasy part is replaced with high tech/science
>Seriously, why is the genre so lacking nowadays?
I looked, and there's nothing good. Again, go look up Joyride. The very idea of standards is a lost concept.

I fricking knew you were the science fantasy tard. only someone as moronic as you could think that there is a lack of sci-fi stuff when we get a new prog of 2000AD every week.
ABC warriors and nemesis the warlock kick ass btw
See
That's not real sci-fi. Also it's garbage.
>That's not real sci-fi.
From gold by Isaac Asimov
2000AD fails both definitions.
You should have asked for hard science fiction then. Most comics are soft science fiction.
lets frickin goooo
Be aware that ABC warriors is a sequel to robusters and invasion and it also ties in with flesh and nemesis the warlock (directly). You may find it easier to download a torrent of 2000 AD and starlord progs so you can read those stories in publication order.
appreciate the pointers bro
can't find that robusters stuff but i'm sure mam has all the 2000 ad stuff i'm looking for
>There's nothing actually stopping anyone from making non-cape books.
Anon, do you happen to know that producing entertainment usually costs money? And that the corporations who produce it usually go after the most popular markets?
What's stopping them is that capeshit is very popular now, they have no good reason to put resources in something that will bring them less money.
>Any moron who thinks mixing science and magic is a good idea needs to be slapped upside the head.
I wish they would just rename sci-fi into "the tech genre" so we can stop with bullshit like this anon
The thing is science fantasy as genre was made so people don't lump in stories with both magic and tech with hard science fiction stories. It is a good thing.
I'm mainly talking about the "muh science" aspect. When I look for sci-fi shit I want to get robots and spaceships and aliens, not just speculation on theoretical science. It's about the aesthetics for most people.
Just science fantasy. It’s useless and uncreative.
No it isn’t moron.
>No argument other than calling me a moron
>b-b-but but but it doesn't fit my narrow (un)defined version of science fiction
shut the frick up nerd, i'm gonna enjoy these comics people are giving out
should i read The original Eternaut or The Eternaut 1969?
ITT: OP doesn't really want to read any sci-fi comics and is just shitposting with one of his personas again
Seriously it's starting to feel like he's talking to himself at points.
>Joyride
can any anons that aren't this homosexual chime in
I know those homies are doing the cap books but I don't read cap
I think this is the one their talking about?
https://www.boom-studios.com/series/joyride/
bout to download that shit too
What's with all the deleted posts?
OP is not a schizo or an autist, he's the smarted baiter in the history of this site.
He managed to bait Cinemaphile into actually talking about comics, talk about non cape comics and even got a storytime on his thread.
Absolute rusemaster
You have stalkholm syndrome, anon.
It'd be quite the plot twist if true.
>Complains about the market not having what he wants
>Refuses to engage with smaller productions or foreign markets
also its still real science fiction even if it isn't science fiction you like. although I suppose dredd and ABC warriors are really science fantasy since they have psychic powers, zombies and chaos magic from time to time.
Are you sure that's the case?
