You, sir, need to separate real life from the online world.

Nobody is saying not to intervene in real life actions happening before you. But if you want to be the "Internet Tough Guy", yes, that bullshit will get removed.

Just the usual bans. All commonplace for participants here.

I mean, as far as comics as a product, he did pretty much create the "Giant Crossover Event"^tm First with Contest of Champions, then Secret Wars.

No, because every country has the right to self defense, that is not a call to violence.

I was summoned here. If nobody atted me I likely never would have known about this thread.

No, it's not OK to call for violence against ANYONE. Full stop. There is no list of "OK to threaten this person or group, but not these others."

The only stuff that slides are the comments that never get reported. Mods are volunteers and we have lives, we aren't reading every comment looking to fuck with threads.

We DO read every report and take actions based on them.

I don't think she even knows what she wants. If she didn't want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.

Republican is going to Republican I guess...

I would imagine the dust component is incredibly dangerous too! It's been a while now, but when I was a kid, grain silo explosions were pretty regular:

Palestinians aren't arguing here. They have actual worries bigger than what people are saying online.

The Police Problem has a similar rule:

"③ Saying ~~cops~~ ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not."

I HAVE had rule 3 violations, rare but they have happened. Actually, it's super rare I have to moderate anything there, people are super chill.

I actually used to have more removals based on rule 2, but that evened out:

"② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent."

 

Just saw the notes in the books this week. :( Guice was a great artist, did fantastic work on Micronauts.

 

From the official AWA Studios Instagram and Facebook:

"Due to an unexpected misprint, all copies of THEY CHOOSE VIOLENCE #1 are being pulled from shelves ahead of tomorrow’s planned release.

Retailers and readers: we are asking that all copies be destroyed — violently, of course.

A corrected reprint is in process, and we’ll share the new release timeline as soon as it’s locked. We’re just as eager as you are to get this bold new series into your hands — thank you for your patience, your support, and your understanding."

 
 

The headline doesn't really tell you why this is important... so here you go!

To promote the first "live action" appearance of Krypto the Super Dog in the new Superman movie, D.C. is re-printing Krypto's first appearance, Adventure Comics #210. 3 copies contain a "Golden Biscuit" ticket for admission to a Superman premier in Los Angeles.

Because this is a special promo, D.C. made it available to retailers for $0.75 per copy. Retailers could decide if they wanted to sell them for the $3.99 cover price, give them away, whatever.

BUT - Retailers found out AFTER the books arrived, that each copy also includes a free one month trial to DCs online service.

Retailers essentially paid $0.75 a copy to advertise an online competitor to their own physical stores.

Some retailers reacted predictably, refusing to sell their reprint stock, some even choosing to destroy them instead.

BUT - NOW it turns out, this special polybagged edition ALSO contains a misprint of the original book.

A book already in limited distribution because retailers are destroying them.
