When did comic books stop being creative? Current comics are all reboots, remakes, and nostalgia wanking. Nothing new ever gets made

1956, when they created Barry Allen and rebooted DC
Not a good book.
whenever something new does happen people hate it and would rather it be back to the way they like it
Young people haven't read comics since the early 90s and they grew up to be old people who reject anything that wasn't from their childhood.

Lemme guess, you're only reading cape books
Hating capeshit doesn't make you interesting or cool. Recommend comics you think are worthwhile instead of wasting time being a smug and snarky c**t.
He can't actually recommend anything all he reads is capeshit.

What do you think bringing back golden age characters in the silver age was?
People who whine about how everything new is bad and old was better clearly have only consumed very cherry picked, well remembered classics from the past and have no real wider context or experience of other media from the same time period
You very gracefully forget about the wokeslop and CGI tracing, which are the main issues plaguing american comics.
TL;DR: they only redo (or shit on) old things because new things don't sell. People don't buy media of new things ever because it's new and unknown.
Since comics as a whole are still dying a slow death and physical media is too, comics companies have to throw everything they can at making sure people continue to buy the comics, and buy merch, and go to comic conventions, and watch comic movies and so on.
Same kinda for the push the last decade to slap random infuriating shit into comics like hamfisted diversity and really in-your-face gay reimaginings, it draws people's attention, and manages to give the comic a sales boost when people inevitably get mad.
This is also why they don't like bringing back old black/brown superheroes/villains and instead raceswap the white ones, it's not about representation, it's about taking a character everyone knows, then pissing everyone off with them on purpose. Free money, and you don't even have to hire anyone GOOD to make these comics, just hire whatever lefty is frothing at the mouth and sputtering nasty no-no words about the right wing, pissing off the right is less volatile and attention-grabbing, but there's no chance of repercussions because nobody on the right owns any media companies.

Everything "new" that's come out was most likely a reworking of an older idea with the names changed.
>2.
You're not looking hard enough for the new things.

Most of the "new" comics out there are garbage because the creators would rather use the medium to complain about their boring suburban lives than try to tell an entertaining story.
