A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

It's an interesting look inside the mind of an incel (it's all told from his perspective), but like I said, it is brutal. It doesn't hold anything back. I think it's worth it anyway, but I thought I would warn people now.

This. The idea that being shit on, or denied affection is somehow justification for anything besides maybe a drinking problem is where this entire narrative breaks down. And breaks down in a way which seems extremely obvious imo.

This is something literally every adult human goes through at some point. Everyone has been disrespected. Everyone has been denied affection. Everyone has experienced loss and disappointment. Normal people understand that the world is shitty and cruel and move on from it. It only seems like they have a perfect life because you only see the success they've cultivated in spite of their own adversity. Being an incel is the belief that adversity somehow places the world in debt to you.
