Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!
Rules:
-
Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.
-
Single panels are preferred.
-
Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.
-
Don't be a dick.
-
I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Nothing ends, @umbraroze@lemmy.world. Nothing ever ends.
Especially Watchmen being in print, as long as it means Alan Moore doesn't get the rights back!
Also never ending: DC missing the entire fucking point of Watchmen as they do whatever they can to exploit it.
Folding them into the main DC continuity... dear god. Talk about not understanding a book.
They understand the book. They just understand money a lot more.
I agree that they care just about money and nothing else. But considering the book was a criticism of the comic book industry as a whole and mainstream comics in specific, I don’t think they did understand it.
I feel like most readers don’t understand it.
ofc they understood it but... it's not like they were just going to shut down DC and Marvel. Instead, a lot of folks went and started independent publishers, many of which do not focus on superheros, and now we have library shelves full of graphic novels in various genres.
They already were being printed by third party publishers in other genres. They just weren't taken seriously. That was the Black Freighter part.
