Are you a bad enough dude to help save the Web?
STOP SOPA AND PIPA

This is wrong. Like, WWII propaganda levels of racist wrong.

Not to mention retarded, since a manga volume is generally pretty big and a comic book is usually kind of short.

>>60065873
This reply is UNAMERICAN

Hand in your freedom and go to north korea, filthy socialist scum.

>obama superhero
>BUY AMERICAN DERP

Whoever drew this knows how to rustle my jimmies

It's a campaign by one store you stupid sack of shit.

>>60065901
Welcome to DC and Marvel.
You don't get any more patriotic than them

Is this real?

Far as I can tell, manga/comic books target terribly different demographics, both mutually hostile to the other.

>implying those who read manga would prefer reading about muscle-bound men in spandex.

>>60065820
>Jim Lee
>Corean
>anti-manga
I think you know who's to blame.

>>60065952
That's why they try to get manga readers to give it up for american comics instead. Clearly.

Though frankly, this is just damaging for them.

Oh man this is so beautiful. I that kind of things were something of the past, that we wouldn't see them again in our times.
Like, woah seriously? I'm tempted to google about it just to see if it's true.
ROBAMA
Wow.
And man, I knew DC was into some shit when they released the ugly ass new costumes but it might have been just an odd decition I couldn't understand. Oh no, they really are going insane.

We had this same thread yesterday faggot.

>Limit 1 per American citizen

So if I'm a tourist and trade in a volume of Bleach I bought when I was young and foolish I would get refused?

Is Robama an official character?

This is actually good business sense.
They had likely sold out of various Vol1 manga that they can't find reprints for. And since they've got stacks of American comics, might as well make some kind of deal.

>>60066032
No. If you aren't AMERICAN citizen you don't get shit.

What, do you think this is some sorta handout, commie?

>>60066002
Very damaging. This is inarguably racist and just making them look retarded. They're marketing to a demograpic that doesn't give a shit, and they're calling on nostalgia from the 40's that the demographic they're marketing to generally hates because most weaboos who actually buy manga and would see this are the types who hate America for nuking Japan and killing all those kawaii Japanese peeplz.

I'm friends with an old school comic book artist. Mostly they are pissed about the lack of detail in the character design, and how it has "perverted" many American comic book artists who don't want to spend most of their time drawing muscles.

Trade in 180 page book for a 30 page magazine?

Hahahaha. This store is retarded. Are people really going to fall for that?

Fine Print:
>*Limit one per American citizen!

lol It's such an exclusive offer we can't refuse that they have to put limits in what we can "gain" from it.

People not reading the whole poster general?

>>60066109
I agree. This poster is just trying to make manga readers "guilty" and feel like shit for not supporting america..

So why would i want to read something from someone who clearly hates me?

>>60066141
>DC comics are only 20 pages now.

>>60066127
>who don't want to spend most of their time drawing muscles.

What?

>>60066127
I know those guys, all they complaining about is lack of BLACK INK SPLOTCHES EVERYWHERE.
They were bitching about computer coloring before manga boom too...

I wonder how many trade ins they'll get?

>>60066168
American comics PRIZE homo-level male musculature detail above all else.
Also they don't write anything, just draw muscle dudes all day.
It's sad really.

See Op's pic, Jim Lee, he's famous for copying muscle building mags.

>>60066160
32, if you count ADs & previews of other 20 page pamphlets.

>>60066066
This seems like the most probable case to me as well.

But:
>Limit one per American citizen!

Why put that there then?

This is just a ploy to get devious brainwashed weeaboos to show themselves, so USA can monitor them for terrorist activities for the japanese Empire.

Yes birry, you kirr white man for your masters

I'm confused. What's DC new 52?

>>60065820
americans...

>>60066255
"American citizen" implies patriotism, not exclusion of non-Americans.
It's a local ad.

>>60066263
Latest in a long line of Retcon reboots.
They are rebooting the entire DC universe....again.

But what if it's the Heroman manga?

Can't see weeaboos trading shit. Can see the comic fans being inspired to maybe buy some manga, to trade in for the sake of increasing report or acting patriotic. Do know that many comic or cartoons fans do hate manga, people sometimes act out of hate. Al the crowd calling everyone else a aweeaboo might participate there, they seem to have the patrotic hate.

>>60066312
So does it comprise of different comics or just 1? The "any" in the ad confuses me a bit since I'm thinking that it's just one comic book series.

>>60066312
How many times have they done that?
Shit, what's the point of reading something and getting attached to characters if it's all LOL NEVERMIND anyway?

>>60066348
>drawn by filthy heathen Japs
Still counts.

>>60066312
Why didn't they stop at the first time? The first time they just needed to get rid of the excess baggage Silver age. Now the retcons are a result of a marketing ploy.

>>60066361
The 52 in "New 52" means 52 separate titles in the new DC line. The majority of them are fresh starts, but some (main batman title and greenlatern) are continuing where they left off before the relaunch.

Don't care.

They'd better be re-selling the manga they receive, because else they'd be sitting on unwanted goods and undercut profit.

Wouldn't suprise me if someday soon, DC & the gang will start lobbying for restrictions in selling mangas, importing manga and tolling mangas even more to scare it away.

>>60066259
More like put them in some sort of potential child molester watchlist.

>>60066445
Nah, it'll be a good old fashioned book bbq.

Literally, to make some greasy ribs on.

>buying comics
>buying manga
.....

Any DC/Marvel shit for pedos?

>>60066452
Or just do shallow parodies of manga characters in their comics.

>>60066525
>Any DC/Marvel shit for pedos?

Nope, just over sized breasts.

Does american comic industry ever try their hands on something other than action and super hero stuff? Like slice of life?

>>60066529
Too late:
Marvel Mangaverse
http://www.comicvine.com/marvel-mangaverse/12-46090/

>>60066368
And conceptualized by Stan Lee. Would you burn a piece of work originating from Stan Lee's idea?

>>60066497
I guess it would be fun?

>>60066589
Not the big guys, plenty of Indie-as-fuck BW stuff & webcomics though.

>>60066589
Sandman and other Vertigo titles are different from the usual DC fare.

Plus independent comics

So who is best? DC? Or Marvel?

>>60066589
>Slice of life
I haven't come across anything like that in Western comics

As for genres other than capes, just try Icon and Image.They are indie publishers, so writers are more inclined to think outside of the box.

>>60066662
Marvel is for emo faggots.
DC is for 40year old neck-beards.

>>60066703
So DC is /co/'s only choice?

But isn't cape comics kinda...dead?

>>60066606
>Flash
>Late
The only way the Flash could ever be late is in an alternate universe where he is a woman.

>>60066733
/co/ is run by Batfags/

>>60066743
In america? Never. They love their Batman and Superman.

>>60066743
There's no growth, but the top titles still sell in the ~100,000s.

>>60066750
Why do comic readers have such a hard-on for The Flash? Isn't he just some b-level hero?

>>60066785
In the 80's X-man use to sell in the millions.

>>60066808
Hipster cred.

>>60066808
He can't beat Accelerator so that makes him pretty B-level, yes.

>>60066808
Flash is stupidly powerful if he'd get serious.

More powerful than Superman, if the writer wants him to be. Yes. That powerful.

>>60066835
>Vibrates through parallel universes
Shut your weeabo trap, scum.

>>60066835
>Flash
>Lose to accelerator
HAHAHAHAHA

Oh look, this thread again.

Give me my cute girls doing cute things.

>>60066808
>Vibrate molecules through solid objects
>Thinks in hyper time
>Can be in multiple places at once
>Can alter time
>Can take away oxygen in a certain area

B Level...fuck no

>>60066497
Sounds like fun, more power to them.

Unless someone shows up with an entire collection of Berserk or something, that'd just be unholy.

>Winter Park, FL
>15 minutes from where I live.
I know where Semoran Blvd is. And I have a bunch of boxfuls of manga (since I move too fucking often and don't have a decent bookshelf right now.)
If only I had any desire to own comics.

>>60066857
Isn't he just a sanic gotta go fast powered guy? How can running make him so overpowered?

>>60066869
>>60066905

And this is why you should never read comics.

>>60066910
They do have women in their 20s & 30's doing manly things.

>>60066986

Entertain me.

Whats manly about people with super powers helping people or loitering around with people similar to him?

If DC actually wants to compete with manga, why not offer the same amount of variety of genres japanese manga does? All I see are superhero comics in the DC comic franchise.

I actually have a subscription at this shop.

The owner, Aaron, is a really cool guy but the general sentiment in there towards manga kinda seems like they couldn't really give a shit. When I started my sub there, I asked if they could order manga for me and they said, yes, but they didn't seem particularly interested. As a result I buy most of my manga from Right Stuf.

I really don't dig the thinly veiled racism and xenophobia implied in this ad, though. I'm totally gonna give this guy shit the next time I see him. Knowing Aaron, he's probably laughing his ass off over the controversy because he's silly like that. I can confirm that this is all in good fun, though. A Comic Shop is like the edgy independent place in town. This is just a joke and a gimmick. Nothing else.

>>60066955
Y'see, in the 70s and 80s, people started thinking about secondary powers the characters would have to have in order to be able to have their actual powers. So Flash is now more than just a sanic gotta go fast guy now. There's a Justice League Unlimited episode where Lex Luthor and Flash switch bodies. Shit goes down because Luthor doesn't fuck around.

>>60066910
What are you talking about? They got plenty of cute girls doing cute things. And plenty fan service too!

>>60067037
They beat up other supers.
You've seen Pixar's Incredible, faggot, you know what they do.

Shit was meant for preteen boys, but kids stopped reading comics a long time ago and only those neck-beards who kept their childish habits read them.

>>60067053
But really though. Do you think your average american trucker joe on the street would read about an all girl band drinking tea?

That last powergirl comic wasn't really slice of life but it had a little bit of it in the beginning when it wasn't all focused on the cape stuff.

>>60067149
They aren't reading about Manly men in capes either, so does it make that much of a difference?

>>60067149
> average american trucker joe
>read
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!

are you fucking idiots actually getting butthurt over this?

its obviously some grade a trolling and is working

>>60067124
They beat up other people with powers
You've seen Dragon Ball Z, faggot, you know what they do.

Shit was mean't for preteen boys, but kids stopped watching anime a long time ago and only those neck beards who kept their childish habits watch them.

Oh my god, everyone, this is not DC, its a campaign from a single store and that isn't Robama, its Cyborg from the Teen Titans. Robama doesn't exist, and DC's PR would never put out something this self destructive.

>>60065820

Who in their right mind would trade in a $10 dollar manga volume for a cheap, thin $3 comic book?

they want volume 1s
so they're probably gonna resell it at a much higher price than the comics they're trading it for.

>>60067235
Actually, DC paid for 3/4 of the add according to ANN.

>>60067235
>Cyborg
>Teen Titans

...this is what happens when /a/ talks /co/

Only in america. But you american bros on /a/ is alright.

>>60067229
>so mad
Animu on /a/ is for adult losers, it's filled with violence, 2DEEP4U, pedoshit and porn.

American comics are still in the girls have cooties stage, also they back down any time feminist blogs bitch and rant.
SHIT IS SAD, BRO.
SAD.
