Comic Books
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.
See our sister sites!

Want to talk BOOK books? See Books!
Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? Becoming Superman? John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood? That's the place!
The morphing cube (or Escafil Device for the initiated) from Animorphs still has a special place in my heart. Nerfs for the sake of narrative tension aside (notably the 2 hour time limit), what a cool piece of tech that empowers people:
Only one use needed for any individual, the device itself seems to have unlimited uses, and you only need to touch it for a few seconds for it to permanently give you abilities!
And what abilities they are! Copy any living animal's DNA by touch, morph into an exact copy of any animal whose DNA you've already acquired, and heal all physical damage each time you morph while expelling any foreign bodies from your own (someone is even canonically cured of rabies via morphing).
