the lack of reaction about readcomiconline's death is the true indicator of how many people just do not read comics but participate in the comics fandom

who let this guy in here

[21anon12]

You know what? I'm gonna take this as an opportunity to ramble about piracy.

"Piracy is bad, yada yada."

Alright. We can agree on that.

But—and I'm sorry if this comes across as offensive—that position often comes from a place of privilege.

And not just economic privilege.

I live in a country where American comics are not always easy to find, and in many cases they're never translated or published at all.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about some mythical "third-world country". I'm talking about a perfectly ordinary European country where the comics I like simply aren't considered profitable enough to distribute.

I remember digging through obscure websites back in 2006 just to get a glimpse of The New Teen Titans. It was a nightmare, but somehow I managed to read the whole thing anyway.

It took me seven years to get a legally published copy of Blackest Night: Titans. SEVEN. Thank God for piracy, because it gave me immediate access. Otherwise I would have been the only idiot trying to discuss Black Lanterns in 2016.

Why? Because Titans comics are considered niche here. Shops don't stock them. Publishers often don't translate them. And when they do, sometimes the translation is... let's politely call it "creative". (I'm still trying to recover from the translated version of Last Will and Testaments...) You wait years, pay more, and occasionally get a worse product. Wonderful.

The only reason Blackest Night: Titans was eventually published here, as far as I can tell, is that Blackest Night was such a massive crossover event that leaving out an entire tie-in would have created a noticeable hole in the collection.

And don't even get me started on the Wolfman/Pérez era. That only became legally accessible here in the 2010s.

So yes, this might come as a shock to some people, but piracy is not always about being cheap.

Sometimes it's about access—because access is not distributed equally.

If a comic is unavailable in your language, unavailable in your country, unavailable digitally, unavailable physically, and unavailable second-hand at anything resembling a reasonable price, then "just buy it" stops being a solution and starts being nothing more than a slogan.

And for many international readers, piracy is the reason they became comic fans in the first place.

Peace out and read comics.

If you can, buy them, too.

Wdym you hate Stratt? Without her you don’t get a story

[its-too-many-fandoms]

Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and Yáo the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.

Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.

Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.

In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt

EVE RETURNS. Although the Totem is missing, Eve now has the ingredient needed to charge it; a sacrificial soul. And the more scared it is- the livelier!

Rocky was going to say "fans of PHM" but Grace panicked! 🏳️‍🌈

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I see your “Rocky swears like a sailor but only in pitches humans can’t hear/refuses to teach Grace what those words mean” and raise you “Rocky swears like a sailor and now has to explain to Grace that ‘bad bad bad’ isn’t actually a sequence you play on your Eridian speech piano in polite company.”

Grace is both horrified and amused to realise that a more accurate translation for what Rocky’s been saying is “shit shit shit”.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Eridian government representative: Greetings Rocky, Saviour of Erid, and Grace, Saviour from Beyond the Stars. We are pleased to welcome you home.

Grace, haltingly on the keyboard Rocky built for him: Wassup bitches. Fucking jazzed to—

Rocky: GRACE STOP TALKING NOW NOW NOW I EXPLAIN LATER
