What are some ideas or initiatives that you think would be a good way of getting younger readers, but might displease some older fans? (Read body text)

To explain why I am using DC compacts as an example, despite it being really successful, is that every once in a while you see someone older saying they dislike the format.

There are legitimate reasons for some to dislike, a common complaint is the squashed artwork, and most of the time they admit it's a net positive for the industry as a whole despite their displeasure.

But sometimes their complaints seem really weird and gatekeepy, especially when it was announced and some called it a bad idea.

How is the selection of Graphic Novels and your local libary?

Recently went to a few different public Libarys in my town. What struck me was how nice selction and vareity was. I'm in New Zealand too just fyi.

What was also interesting was how they organised it. Kids, young adult and adult graphic novels all had there own section.

Kids was mostly western, Young adult was mostly manga (though olny a few series, like the had alot of one peice that it took up a few shelves) then adult was back to being mostly western again.

(Picture is of stuff I recently got from said Libary visits)

Would anyone like to join a Comic/Manga club? Thinking about organising one.

Probably at the central libary in town (If they ever pick up the phone)

How do you feel about the flying scenes in "Lanterns".

Me I like them. Mostly because I really love how whenever Hal flys he builds up alot of air resistance air resistance and always seems to like a slight sonic boom (Hard to find a pic of it)

Hope we see a green aura in space though.

Did a little design for an idea for what flash should look like in the DCU. Thoughts? I know i had fun drawing it.

u/LivingAssociate2242 — 2 months ago

What story arc would you use as a basis for a DCU flash movie?

Mind would be the return of Barry Allen. I just think it would be cool. You'd have to change a few things of course.

Anyone wanna hang out tonight and talk about comics, Manga ,Anime etc. Maybe form a book club of sorts?

(Just got a copy of the above in the mail. Woo.)

Hoping to meet a few nerds like myself. or juat chat here.

Why does it seems some comic fandom circles (This sub being an exception) don’t really talk about Young adult graphic novels and that entire sector of the market?

(Image is of Heartstopper by Alice Oseman. Needed a image to use as an example)

They seem to focus solely on superheroes, their hatred and/or love of one of two companies and comparing it to manga? 

u/LivingAssociate2242 — 2 months ago

Did anyone also read this comic as a kid? I remember loving it and now I look back and the art reminds me so much of hellboy.

How to you guys feel about housing density? And in particular high density housing?

I took a ride near some newer housing developments near Rotokauri and it kind of struck me how much I dislike it. One of the reasons I disliked it is I kinda thought it was a bad use of space. I dunno, as someone who’s grown up in suburbs I’ve grown to hate them somewhat, though that is probably 100% my personal biases.

I thought I’d ask you lot the question and see what the general opinion is? My thought is if Hamilton has to grow it should be up not out, but again I might be alone on that.

Say we met friendly aliens , and we decided to put on a little cultural festival to further introduce ourselves. What would you have at that festival (a performance? A showcase?) that you feel would best represent your country? (Let's keep this positive today. There’s enough negativity in the world)

Forgive the incredibly silly photoshop :P. Plus Project Hail Mary inspired this question in the first place.

I think NZ would differently send a Haka and a lot of cultural dancers to said hypothetical event. Also something that would be cool is if we put on a small Rugby tournament. Other countries could get in on that too.

How to find a partner in Hamilton?

So I'm austitic. I'm saying that upfront as it might explain a few things. I've never had a girlfriend before and at time it feels like I'll always be alone. I've been trying to improve myself. Tried to make friends and such. And now I want to try dating because I have to stop crushing on my female friends. Because thats unfair.

Totally clueless when it comes to this stuff. Hoping for some advice.

Whats a word that's a slur in your country but fine to use in another country?

For instance in the UK it's common to use the word "Fag" to refer to a cigarette, but in the US it's olny a slur.

Bonus question to those from the commonwealth: Do you also use this term for cigarettes? I'm not sure I know the general opinion for NZ myself. I know alot of LGBTQ+ folks and not alot of smokers, so I think any perspective I give is skewed somewhat.

What's your favourite Chocolate brand from your country?

Whittakers is the best chocolate ever!!! Cadbury kinda sucks in comparison (at least here).

How do you feel about English as a lingua franca? It's what allows us to communicate on this sub, but do you ever worry about its prevalance?

u/LivingAssociate2242 — 3 months ago

Deeply silly question, but say we met some friendly aliens (and we were also equally friendly. So basically Star Trek) and decided to introduce some of our sports to them. What are some sports that your country loves that you would want to introduce to them? Maybe in a showcase.
