My three rules for dealing with comic runs I don't like

Discussion

With all the rage bait and editorial mandates we see in comics these days, I feel it's important to handle unpopular comic runs with three simple steps:

  1. DO NOT BUY BOOKS YOU DON'T LIKE.
  2. Do not discuss books that you don't like. Bad press is still press, and it's best for you to actively pretend that the book doesn't exist so that the publisher understands what's up.
  3. If other people like/buy the comics that you hate...LET THEM. Their happiness is not your business. If you think they're wrong, then let them be wrong. I guarantee they'll be as angry as you are once the next run fails to meet their expectations just as previous runs failed to meet yours.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
