But it wasn’t Joe Average who was reading creator-owned titles anyway. Joe Average generally wouldn’t even make the jump to *superhero* comics, let alone the ones that weren’t about magic guys in tights punching eachother really hard.

panel 1: pink blob creature: "I want things to be different"

panel 2: creature smashes everything

panel 3: creature stands in wreckage: "oh no"

Fun fact: Elephant shrews are, in fact, more closely related to elephants than to shrews.

At least we can grant a lack of hypocrisy in this one specific shitty view.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Only people in the cult buy this nonsense now. And I bet the same thing was true back then. The people with power just push it so relentlessly, to create an illusion that the he public think it’s a problem.

As someone who has studied the circulation of terms “subversive” and “communist” in the lead to and through McCarthyism as empty signifiers to justify violent suppression I feel like I’m both amazed and unsurprised how transparently and unsophisticatedly “woke” and “antifa” are now doing the same.

This could be because of the shattering of social media, superhero burn out, the implosion of the “geek culture” boom, some combination thereof. But it’s depressing and no fun for either creators or readers.

Back in the 2010s it was like discussion of new comics was EVERYWHERE. Saga! Monstress! Wicked + The Divine! Bitch Planet! Chew! Sex Criminals! Pretty Deadly! Revival! The Fade Out! Sweet Tooth! Etc etc.

Now it’s all *crickets*

Speaking about hope for the medium:

What are y’all reading these days?

Was talking with someone about how nobody seems to really *talk* about comics anymore, which is kinda strangling creator-owned titles, which rely on word of mouth to work. So might as well give this a shot.

Yesterday I saw kids in a comic store. Kids! In a comic store! Excited about *Superman*! There is hope yet for the medium.
