[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 8069754, member: 99786"] You are not wrong MN. I might even say this is the second golden age of comics fiction. We can cite most of the MCU films and TV shows; some of the DCCU films, TV shows, animated shows; the rise of the graphic novel, especially in the tween space, published by major book publishers (Graphix, First Second, Random House Graphic, etc); the mainstreaming of anime and manga artistic styles; and finally the incredible proliferation of web comics. The list goes on; but suffice it to say, if you like comics style fiction then this is a great time to be alive. But I'd say it's paradoxically also the age of the slow decline of floppy 22 page magazines. tbh, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Even I, who had been buying floppies for years regularly, since college - so we're talking since around 1984 or 1985 - finally cut the cord and now I only purchase graphic novel collections. I go to the comic shop once every 2 weeks now, see what's on the stands, and then ask the store to reserve volume 1 of the collected TP of the comic book. Eventually of course, it will no longer be economically feasible for the store to keep stocking the floppies of the kind of books I like, and I wont' hear of those comics any more. Which I am ok with. There are other avenues I can get info about graphic novels from. As long as the shop keeps being willing to order graphic novels for me... (Why do I buy GNs at full price from my FLCS? well, it's the 2nd shop I worked at, and the only one still left in my town, and I have a relationship with the owner) [/QUOTE]
