Honestly comics in general don't sell because they are too expensive and very isolated.

But diversity comics don't sell because they are usually written by bad authors, and the one time that they have a good writer and the comic works, the editorial ruins it by mixing it up with events and other bullshit (talking about Kamala here, of course).

Also moviebob is just dumb in general.

He's not wrong in that all conceivable ideas are, by virtue of the infinite universe theory, realities outside of our own plane of existence, and the prevailing theory is that through dreams our brains take can in fact take us to those alternate realities.

Now, the real falsity is the idea that they would want to talk with MovieBob for any length of time longer than fifty-two seconds.

No one cares if it's diverse or monogamous. People buy comics to be ENTERTAINED, not whatever Marvel is doing telling caucasian males, for some reason, are responsible for everything that's horrible in the world with every turn.

I hope people don't forget who was on the roll for America; in the future, I hope to spam all those involved in the credits page until they commit suicide for giving that atrocity of a comic.

It's not an America-exclusive thing, buy anyway: in the case of this generation, a lifetime of non-reading has produced people who are unable to notice these kinds of mistakes in their writing, versus when they speak. This is only exacerbated by the prevalence of spellcheckers, resulting in people who quickly type stuff out and don't bother looking it over, expecting it to be automatically corrected (which works for misspellings, but not homonyms).

If you strip away his impotent rage he's not strictly wrong. Comics not being sold in supermarkets and cornerstores mean they have a hard time selling outside enthusiasts who are willing to go out of their way. The last time I bought comics was when the book+music store I liked to go to stocked them for a while. There's no way I would have gone across town to buy them, though.

That said, comic shops aren't dens of evil and they are awkward at worst to go into. And, of course, there are always digital issues, TPBs, and just buying things online.

Sure but it's a chicken and egg thing. If they had access to walmart then they could (theoretically) reach different markets but they don't have access to walmart because they don't already have those markets that they can only get if they had access to walmart. You know?

I used to hang out near the front of the grocery store my mom shopped at, looking at comics and shit. That was back when X-force came in 3 different foil colors.

Shit, my comic book store is actually full of helpful people. I know not every store is as good, but to paint them all as racist and blaming them for the lack of sales for diversity sales is lame. Especially since it's the comic shops that NEED these books to sell to make a profit and live. Hell, Marvel's been screwing then over by forcing them to pay for extra copies of books they didn't want. And they are the bad guys?!!!! Really?!!!

Not just Ms. Marvel, either.

Black Panther was one of the best selling titles in the whole industry last year.

America #1, /co/'s new favorite book, sold out and will now get multiple printings.

And female Thor still sells better than male Thor, even after they gave him his own title again.

It's almost like diverse books sometimes sell and sometimes don't, just like non-diverse ones.

Technically, yes. Comics are for the most part a dying medium, being held up almost solely by aging fans who buy a book out of brand loyalty, and companies who keep it alive do they can milk the IP's. Diversity has little to do with anything here. Unless your comic is an A-list superhero, it isn't going to sell. The Dark Age of comics ruined any chance of regular people and kids normally buying them because the entire industry placed a stigma on itself, alienating anyone that isn't a die-hard fanboy.

Books don't even sell well at Walmart. You go there, and they're pretty much just going to have assorted Bibles, Grisham, King, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, and assorted young adult novels.

You can't carve out a larger audience selling print media. It's impossible. Comic distribution has taken way too long to come up with a good digital model, and it might be disastrous long term. They have bigger concerns than diversity.

Here's why they don't sell:

>create diverse comic
>new readers are curious, buy the first issue
>it ties into some retarded event they never heard of and don't care about

A standard Marvel or DC comic is like 3-4 bucks nowadays?

But Gunnerkrigg Court and Paranatural and Ava's Demon and Kill 6 Billion Demons and Sleepless Domain and Kiwi Blitz the Skin Horse and The Meek and Mare Internum and Mokepon and Camp Weedonwantcha are all free, and I probably like at least a few of those.

There are literally hundreds of high-quality webcomics, and thousands of mediocre ones that still have their fans, and they're free.
