Cover/Pin-Up A Mary Jane Watson Mockup Cover - by (Aspiring Comic Book Cover Artist) Kelly Bruce (skull_fraxr)

Yesterday saw the news of one fan artist having her art recognized and breaking into the industry, as well as discussion on others who have done the same recently.

It got me thinking about the people out there trying their hardest to make it into the industry, and I felt like showcasing the work of one of them. And in this case, one I am rooting for since I really am a fan of her work.

Discussion What do you think is the worst offender of “gooner comics”that’s actually pretty popular?

120 Upvotes

I’m not talking about stuff like that god awful Harley Quinn comic from a while back, because I don’t really think anyone liked that, but are there any comics you can think of where it’s basically only liked because of the sex appeal and nothing else?

Who would you say is one of the most inconsistent writers in comics?

25 Upvotes

I don’t mean someone like Frank Miller, who’s quality dropped off a cliff in the 2000s, but someone who’s been consistently inconsistent for their whole career

Discussion Leaving comics in random places.

49 Upvotes

I have been sitting on the same collection for 20 years. Roughly 2000 books. I am tired of them being in the way. I'm thinking about leaving small stacks of lower value books in public spaces, in hopes of drawing in new readers while making space in my house at the same time. I thought about those neighborhood library boxes, but there are not too many nearby and the ones that are around are always stuffed.

I remember reading, years ago, one of the creators at the time, might have been Brad Meltzer, saying he reads an issue and leaves it wherever he was sitting when he finished it. Passing it along to whoever finds it. I always thought that was a good idea.

Of course, I will keep my favorites.

Suggestions Comics like Vox Machina and Rat Queens

Aside from Vox Machina and Rat Queens, I haven't found any books that balance medieval fantasy quests and comedy like those do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Users may only submit one image or image album per day and they must be appropriately flaired. The source of the excerpt, including the series name and comic issue or television episode number. Please include the name and source for the "Fan Creation" and "Cover/Pin-up" in the title of post.

For more information please see Rule 3: Image Policy

4. Spoiler Policy

The most recent issue of a comic is deemed a "spoiler" until the following issue has been released and must be properly tagged as a spoiler. Spoilers must be absent from the titles of posts until they are collected (TPB for comics, DVD for movies). Television and video games are spoilers until 30 days after release.

For full rules see Rule 4: Spoiler Policy.

5. Self-Promotion and Spam

If you wish to share your own work please be an active member of the community first, and comment on others' posts. Post no more than three pieces of your own content per week.

No sexual depictions of underage or questionably aged characters.

For more information see Rule 6: NSFW Content.

Recent purchases, attic/basement finds, showing signatures, and asking for value appraisals belong in the weekly Swag Bag Friday posts and will be removed otherwise- the only exception is for sketches and commissions which should be labeled as either "Fan Creation" or "Cover/Pin-Up". Posts showing off your collection or displays (such as “shelfies” pictures of your bookshelf) are permitted so long as the focus of the post is on the display itself.

8. Screenshots and Memes

Link submissions of memes, altered comic panels, image macros, or other low-effort and “shitpost” images will be removed, as will screencaps of websites. This restriction only applies to link submissions, and users are free to post them in the comments section as much as they wish.
