Where Have All The Comic Geek Chics Gone?


Seriously, I am not joking.  I used to go onto Google+ daily and there they all were posting away about their new haul of comics with not the slightest idea about the comics they had bought nor the characters and yet they had been comic fans for 2-4 years!

There were also lots and lots of "My Comic Book Haul" videos on You Tube with the same type of thing.  "I've been a comic fan going back to the days when DC 52 was launched" -gauranteed to make me grind my teeth.  The other line of "These characters are never consistent for too long -it's the way comics have always been and I love that!" is guaranteed to have me throwing things around.

These days, apart from myself, Google+ when I sign on shows me NASA items, items from the occasional "my comic haul" or desperate attempt to get people to respond with "Which was your favourite comic character going way back to ten years ago" (honestly, these people have no idea that the Squadron Supreme had a GREAT 12 issue maxi series in the 1980s or that the Crime Syndicate started out in JLA in the early 1960s...or most things up to about 2008).  But that's it.

I had no idea that the internet was, apparently, consigning Google+ to the "near dead" list.  Though some internet experts state it still has some life in it but it has just gotten too complex and confusing when it shouldn't be.  For instance: people have "added you to their circle" which even internet experts with a decade or so behind them can't work out -other social media you have to accept requests so does this mean these people can access your information (personal)?  Linkedin I've had something similar with people adding me or joing my circle and I've never approved any of them.

The You Tube videos seem to be where people who desperately want to get TV work go to be 'outrageous' and talking to everyone like one of those insulting kids TV presenters.  "Black Comic Nerd" seems a case in point -but WTF does the fact you are "black" have to do with it???  Lots of very bright colours, high pitched, squeaky TV voices and lots of professional looking props seem to define these as if they are screaming to themselves "COMICS ARE HOT AT THE MOMENT -I CAN ACT NERDY AND LIKE AN IDIOT: TV EMPLOY ME!"

No, my dears, you really will have to wait until you grow up or some equally moronic person in TV thinks "Comics are hot -nerdy, geeky -this is my chance to push a project idea to the boss and make my name!"

Comic shops are desperately waiting for the next big comic -I love what one said: "We need a big comic event each month to keep bringing new people in!"  One comic person noted his local shop was so over stocked the owner sold him most of the titles at "20 cents a piece -then he gave me ten other copies and told me they weren't doing him no good!"  ****.

Dinosaurs triumphed over the last Avengers movie, making more money which must have hurt somewhere. But there are people in Hollywood and media study who are noting that the major earning super hero movies may be a thing of the past with Star Wars about to herald a new resurgence in sci fi movies and there are voices stating this is the direction some super hero movies may go (but learning from the recent Fantastic Four movie).

In fact, the internet has lost a great deal of virtual weight over the last few months.

Autumn/Winter and into 2016 ought to be very interesting.

当所有的漫画野人Chics哪里去了?


说真的,我不是在开玩笑。我曾经每天有去到Google+中他们都是客场发布他们的新漫画用的不是自己买了漫画,也没有人物,但他们一直漫画迷2-4年丝毫的想法的长途! 也有很多很多对你管与同类型的东西“我的漫画书牵引”的影片。“我一直是个漫画迷打算回天,当DC 52推出”-gauranteed让我磨我的牙齿。的其他线路“,这些字符是太久-它从来没有一致的方式漫画一直是我喜欢的!” 是保证无我扔周围的事物, 这些天来,除了我自己,谷歌,当我签署表明我国家航空航天局的项目,偶尔“我的漫画长途”或绝望的尝试项目让人们用“,这是你最喜欢的漫画回应性格去的方 式回到十年前“(老实说,这些人不知道该中队最高法院有一个伟大的12问题马克西系列在20世纪80年代,或者黑社会性质组织罪开始在JLA在60年代 初...或者大部分事情高达约2008)。但仅此而已。 我不知道,互联网是,很显然,托运的Google+的“近死”名单。尽管一些互联网专家说明它还是有一定的寿命,但它刚刚变得过于复杂和混乱,当它不应该。例如:人补充说:“你到他们的圈子”,这甚至是互联网专家用十年左右的时间在他们身后不能工作了-其他社交媒体,你必须要接受请求,那么,这是否意味着这些人可以访问你的信息(个人) ?LinkedIn我已经受够了的人加我或joing我的圈子里,我从来没有批准任何一个类似的东西。 该你管的视频似乎是在那里的人谁拼命  想要得到的电视作品去是“离谱”再跟每个人都喜欢那些侮辱孩子的电视主持人之一。“黑色喜剧狂”似乎一点-但情况跆拳道  确实你是“黑”的事实,有什么关系呢???大量的极鲜艳色彩,高音调,吱吱作响的电视声音和大量专业的道具似乎定义这些,如果他们大呼自己“的漫画热的那一刻-我可以充当书呆子与自己像个白痴:电视使用ME! “ 不,我的亲爱,你真的会要等到你长大了还是一些同样鲁钝的人认为电视”漫画是热-nerdy,古怪-这是我的机会来推进项目的想法给老板,让我的名字! “ 漫画店都在拼命地等待着下一个大的喜剧-我爱什么人说:”我们每个月需要大的漫画事件不断带来新的人“ 一个漫画人指出,他在当地的店铺是这么过来的库存店主卖给他大部分的标题为“20分钱一条-然后他给了我等十个副本,并告诉我,他们没有做他没有好!” ****。 ​​恐龙战胜了最后的复仇者电影,赚更多的钱肯定有什么地方受伤。但也有人在好莱坞和媒体研究谁是指出,主要的  收入超级英雄电影可能是过去与星球大战的事情即将预示着科幻电影的一个新的重新抬头,也有声音指出,这是向一些超级英雄的电影可能会(但是从最近的神奇四侠电影学习)。 事实上,互联网已经失去了大量的虚拟体重在过去的几个月里, 秋/冬到2016年应该是非常有趣的。

  1. I wonder what 'The Inferior Five' would be like as a film? Not actors - that would be embarrassing - but animation, and done by the Monsters Vs Aliens or Megamind - I forget who made the films. Casting of the voices for Merryman. Dumb Bunny, The Blimp, Awkwardman and White Feather ?

  2. HATE these digital crap films. Look at The Incredibles -very well done and, as someone wrote elsewhere "the REAL Fantastic Four movie" BUT it leaves me cold. It's so antisceptic and clean. Look at real, hand drawn animation -the French have produced some great ones- and you see the bitty-gritty and KNOW it was drawn by hand. No, Inferior Five would be made as Live Action and I can even guess at the cast....!

  3. ...and the cast would be ...?

  4. Name any clinically obese actor/actress with a loud shouty mouth and not funny for Blimp. The others? I just DO NOT CARE.
