>Despite scoring a high approval rating among its readers, DC Comics' "Prez" will not return for a second term.
>Instead of the planned six-issue follow up to the series that launched last year under the "DC You" banner, writer Mark Russell and artist Ben Caldwell's political satire will conclude with a 12-page special in November, coinciding with the real-world American presidential election.
This election has killed political satire.
It's the fate that all tumblr trash eventually faces.
well that suc..
>protagonist has a side-cut hairstyle
nothing of value was lost.
>liberals and pc culture have killed politcal satire and comedy in general
ftfy famalam
We did it Sup Forums! We beat tumblr!
Well, the Rebirth is officially over. DC is terrible again.
now time to sort out who's Sup Forumsmblr and who is Sup Forums.
It got replaced with Flintstones though.
Should've bought the trade, Sup Forums
>implying repiblicucks dont get triggered even harder when made fun of

Did you ever read the book?
It was probably the third-best DCYOU title behind Omega Men and Midnighter.
Would've helped if the first six issues didn't move at a snail's pace.
How was Prez tumblr?
>t. Sup Forumsmblr
Good, it was pretty bad and I didn't like it
Her haircut and the writer is a liberal
goddammit i hate this site
>>Despite scoring a high approval rating among its readers,
Approval =/= Sales
Wheres the porn?
Only tumblr wouldnt blindly follow the site in being racist sexist and homophobic
I remember a time when there were plenty of decent comics discussions to be had.
Of course, it's been maybe a decade since then.
They'll sometimes support a book despite crappy sales.
Jonah Hex was did cancellation numbers for years, but they kept it around anyway.
You're very quick to lay blame at our feet.
found the Sup Forumsmblrina!
shoo shoo away with you!
Have you tried other sites? You might like tumblr.
>if he doesnt agree with me he must be from another site
And Sup Forums tries to say the hivemind doesnt exist
a decade ago sjw faggotry wasn't so fucking prevalent.
All Star Western volume 1 trade sales: 2,994
Prez volume 1: 1,539
>12 issues instead of 132
Absolute horse shit
The timing was not great for this book.
Neither was Sup Forumstard faggotry.
GODDAMMIT.
Everything that happens in the campaign has been a joke. The candidates aren't leaving people much to work with.
It isnt now either. You just go looking for reasons to be angry instead of ignoring it. You go onto tumblr blogs with like 10 notes so you can show it here and spread outrage. Insteas of just hanging out with friends or family.
Marvel has been almost completely taken over by sjw ideology though. Fortunately DC's still level-headed. Liberal yeah, but it's been that way for decades.
>Prez volume 1: 1,539
Oh hey, that's actually more than the last few Jonah Hex trades. Before the relaunch/New 52 push in All Star Western.
That and whining about sjw faggotry and comics you never read.
That last one was of course always present, but it gets worse every year.
And the movies have contributed a lot to turning it into a shit hole.
Again just ignore it. Dont go cruising a website you hate for a post with 5 notes to show everyone here what the enemy thinks
It's just the natural progression of their horrible "controversy = sales" approach, which may finally be turning against them.
I want to believe
>Civil War II selling like shit
>Marvel NOWER given lukewarm reception
>Positive buzz about Rebirth titles
>Positive albeit belated reaction towards DCYou from twitter normalfags
We can only hope
>ignore it
thats how hitler rose to power, cuz everyone ignored him.
It's almost like people read comics to see stories and not ideology. Marvel will realize that internet attention/outrage doesn't translate to sustainable sales.
It was a fun read. You should try it
I actually think the approach could have been pretty sustainable for longer, but then the got greedy and started in with the constant relaunching.
You fuckers better support the Flintstones!
Hey man we didn't do this.
thats a nice thing to happen...
why the fucking you think nice things just happen?
I thought Sup Forums loved this series. The storytimes were always a blast.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I did. It was funny, but obnoxiously progressive.
It is still the summertime.
And there's zero chance of fan reaction saving it.
Unlike Omega Men, it's following was never particularly vocal and was even smaller than that book's. with it being so long since the first mini, it's pretty much dwindled to nothing.
>Despite scoring a high approval rating among its readers, DC Comics' "Prez" will not return for a second term.
Maybe some of us can Shawshank Redemption it.
Write them a letter a week for years.
Rebirth was a mistake
Rebirth and DCYOU not being the same thing was a mistake.
I thought I had heard the trade did respectably.
I guess I was wrong.
It's sad because it was the perfect comic to find an audience beyond superhero fans. But of course no one bought it. I hate everything right now.
>But of course no one bought it.
Don't worry, give it time. Eventually someone will make an article praising the title, leading others on social media to go "WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY PUT OUT BOOKS LIKE THIS??".
At least we have Flinstones now, but damn
I didn't give it a chance because not muh Prez, but I did see a single panel that was so heavy-handed that I don't regret it.
>saw one panel
Thanks for the stellar review.
>but i did see a single panel
and behind martian manhunter. i really liked rob williams' crazy loop story
Way to misinterpret the post.
Go away.
Didio said it did better than expected relative to its floppy sales, but still not enough.
OP I am so happy to hear how btfo tumblr got by based DC. We need more good news like this now a days.
This is how it always happens. You either die a liberal or live to see yourself become the next generation's conservative.
Enjoy your echo-chamber.
If you haven't read it then nothing you say here good or bad is of any value. Fuck off.
Not much to misinterpret
Comic was trash, another comic made popular because creepy white dudes wanna fuck the "cute brown girl".
Don't like it, don't post here.
>cute brown girl
She was white as fuck. What're you talking about? You've never seen so much as a page of Prez have you?
First of all, I wanna fuck the kill not.
Second she was white as kansas
YES! In your face, SJWashington!
Yeah, but that book's got muscles and feet
And Pebbles.
Gay robot
Storytime
So, you thought it was well-done, but didn't like it because it didn't share your opinions?
Isn't this the attitude that we make fun of Tumblr for?
What if it did share that user's opinions, but he thought it portrayed its messages in obnoxious and hamfisted ways?
...
>12-page special in November
how low will the sales for this? also we'll probably hear Caldwell has signed with Marvel in the next few weeks
>Original comic fails horribly
>Decide to reboot it many years later
>Fails horribly again
What did they think was going to happen?
More importantly how are they getting away with releasing a 12-page comic? Surely it has to be packaged with something else.
I hope it's a Election anthology, get a 12-page Prez, then two DCU election stories or something?
I know there's a superman anthology story on the horizon for something
Should've run closer to the presidential election.
>Harley Quinn and Two Face Election Special 2016: They're Nuts and They're on Both Sides of the Aisle!
>special 12 page Prez backup now drawn by JRjr
there I've saved the election special name me EIC DC.
she had a tan you mongoloid
best comic DC has put out in a decade
>Fangirls getting mad not everyone shares their bad taste in comics
Maybe, just MAYBE, you're a minority on an already niche comic board who are into a niche comic that just couldn't cut it. Maybe you should leave and find someplace more suited to those tastes.
You clearly weren't around for the storytimes, Sup Forums loved Prez.
12 pages? What the fuck.
I loved it, i pretty much knew it wouldnt cpne back, but half an issue worth? So basically nothing at allvahppened the rest of her first term, and most likely these pages are going to all be her campaigning. Best case senario, against the old boy prez
Oh shit, a wild patrician appeared!
>only 12 pages
Jesus. I'm glad I supported this, though.
This should've been the book DC pushed hard from the get go and I'm a little irritated that other sites like Slate, AV Club and the others didn't recommend the book.
DC isn't very good at PR
practically fucking incompetent
I'm gonna send them my resume, this is ridiculous
Good, it was lousy partisan satire written with smarm.
Ever consider you're the minority whining about muh sjws in a comic you've never read?
Partisan in what way?
I guess all the recent mass-shootings and bombings took the thunder out of its peace-love-and-negotiations-it's kind of our fault and not the brown people-stance
