A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

Not pictured, but it's definitely Micro-Face.

Good news: your character has a new comic book.

The (not really) legendary superhero Micro-Face is revived by the (not really) legendary publisher NPR Planet Money

Give us a few moments to explain. Suffice it to say, you can order the character's revival The Myserterious Micro-Face #1, written by Alex Segura, penciled by fan-favorite artist Jamal Igle, with a main cover and character redesign from legendary veteran Jerry Ordway, colored by Ellie Wright, and lettered by Taylor Esposito right now.

NPR Planet Money has done these things a number of times. Like, they go out and start a tiny record label and publish a song, or buys some oil as an investment, shorts stock, or whatever. Then they do a story on it and explain how the economics involved work.
