hey kids im gonna teach u how to be a weathered comic fan

– nobody likes reboots but if things get bad enough everyone calls for one

– people are annoying so youre only allowed to say your favorite superhero is batman if you know at least three arc titles. here’s some to help get you started: under the red hood, knightfall, death in the family

– call for an end to all comics at least once a month when something stupid happens

– the avengers and the xmen dont always get along. if you like the avengers, you dont know this. if you like xmen, it’s all you know.

– lightboxing is responsible for comic books that look like they were drawn by the wikihow guy. throw the term around. it’s fun.

– you hate crossover events, but by god you will never stop bringing them up and neither will your comic provider

– your favorite comic book will get cancelled. you live every day like it’s its last. comics that are particularly diverse will get axed first no matter how large the following

– everyone who claims “comics are getting too political NOWADAYS” has never read a comic worthwhile in their lives. cut them out of yours.

– when you hear a writer’s name you dont recognize just say “ah that guy. I hate that guy” no one will question it. we all hate that guy.
