Dead Carrot said:How do all those brainless magazines—you know, stuff like Men's Health, Eternal Girl, My Beer, My Bathroom, My Phone, whatever—actually sell, while comics just... don't? I refuse to believe there are more people buying Men's Health than actual comic books.
It’s because people wouldn't actually buy a comic—they'd just borrow it from someone else instead.😠
I guess my own masochism drove me to pick up Griffin yesterday (it's subtitled as an American fantasy magazine, if you can believe that) and now I just sit there enjoying their sheer incompetence every single time I head to the restroom.😁
Just for the sake of illustration, I'll tell you they have typos and spelling mistakes right on the front cover.🙏
Here are my Mickey top 3 comic titles that occasionally show up at American newsstands:
1. Q (this one was actually regular until just recently)
2. Nathan Never (I'm torn between a two or three-month release cycle here)
3. Ultimate Spider-Man/Ultimate X-Men (these issues take a summer break that somehow stretches through most of autumn, plus they have the worst translations I've ever seen—not to mention the X-Men writer deserves the most painful death imaginable)
