The retarded shit from back then was at least retarded in a funny way.
The shit that's happening today is retarded in an infuriating way, because these comics are being made by dumb, preachy assholes that legitimately believe they're enlightening the world by pumping out intolerable drivel while going out of their way to completely ruin formerly beloved characters like Squirrel Girl.

I hope the family centric DC stories will continue, and will generate a more friendly and "nice to read" stories and new generation. Just like John and Damien turning out to be a comfy new duo.
Marvel probably will try to copy it just to save themself as the biggest loosers of the current years fiasco ride. But since they couldn't wait and understand how DC builded slowly and safely the new characters, they will fail flat.
Which is sad, if you think about it. Since they had a chance to do the same thing with peter Parker back then. But they need to turn him back to a teenager and abuse the shit out him.

Genuinely, the most absolute shit, trash comics will be the ones people treasure.

I agree. Clark's dynamic with Lois and Jon is fun to see, I wouldn't mind if they made a series about it. I could picture it being profitable, just a comfy super-hero story of Clark teaching Jon the ropes. The occasional story where Lois activates berserk maternal rage if Jon is in danger.

The fucking IRONY is that Marvel fucking INVENTED the Super Family (At least as an Ongoing) but fucking killed it and made it horribly dysfunctional with Fantastic 4.
Also they are currently trying the thing with Spiderman, but again they can't help but make the family dysfunctional, and more as a way to try to make Mary Jane kick his ass as opposed to interesting family Dynamics.

Hardly, given the likelihood of comics getting reprinted is a lot better than it was ten years ago. At best, today's "era" of comics will be seen for what it is: an awkward transitioning period marked by desperate pleas for attention in the shadow of blockbuster adaptations.

>it's so weird that superhero comics shy away from their characters having a family while mangas have beloved characters like jojo and goku raising a whole clan.
Marriage is risky in superhero comics because it's something of an oxymoron: a firm narrative commitment in a genre defined by its malleability.

There will always be obsessive collectors with cash to burn, and some comics might fetch good money. Those probably won't be America and Bendis' creations. Thanks to almost everything having figital copy, nothing will probably come close to the price of historical issues of Action Comics or Amazing Fantasy.

I don't think so, there are digital copies and reprints of Detective Comics #1 and so on, but people still want the original physical copy. It's not about having the ability to read the thing, but having the original.

What I think will hurt the long term collectibility of current year comics is that three are no kids reading them. Silver and bronze age comics had tons of kids reading them. You need that nostalgia driven portion of the market as a foundation demand. They're the ones most likely to pay higher prices for the convenience of not having to scour cons, shops and craigslist for those rare finds to build a collection. I hang around a few speculation communities where some of them get caught up in flipping cover variants on ebay. They will try to push the hype about low print runs leading to scarcity, but scarcity isn't worth shit without demand.

Pretty much. The Silver Age was whimsical and fun if you could turn your brain off for a moment and just go with the flow of things. Hell, even the Dark Age at its edgiest and most excessive had a certain candor about it. The was an earnestness about it that made it "click" in its day and even now we remember it with amused fondness. It's totally different from the CURRENT YEAR bullshittery, which is a cynical exercise in solipsistic masturbation by people who are effectively dead and empty inside hired by a dying industry that doesn't give a flying fuck anymore.

That's because most of them were mediocre garbage. The crazier books, like Hellcat and America, will live long in the consciousness of comic fans on virtue of their weirdness. Stuff like Black Panther and The Crew or The Champions will rightly fade away because of their dullness.
