What purpose did it serve?

>What purpose did it serve?

Whor getting more sales than the other thor
Cho hulk got nothing but put in the background and get some cameos.
Same thing with Riri.
Falcon crash and burn.
Same faith with cho hulk.
Miles was in the spotlight in two events. And become the poster boy of the ultimate universe.
Kamala is the most successful modern diverse character without getting a push.

Part two, Also cho hulk is saving other characters from that god awful artist that trace porn stars.

DO NOT READ WORLD WAR CHO HULK! It is worse than America.

All of those stores were owned by cisgendered heterosexual white males, though. The comics culture is better now that they've been removed.

Thanks for this hot take, glad to see someone on this site finally stand up to those SJWs

To alienate their fanbase and kill sales.
You see, Cebulski sama is playing 4D mahjong. You wouldn't understand.

Nova is the only good one and I am Riderfag.

there's no "discovery" here though. marvel has always been diverse and they refused to showcase characters that already existed.

there are tons of ways to make non-white characters change. they can be given a bigger power set like morbius had temporarily, or maybe, you know, have decent stories written for them

they could even come up with an excuse for soem of the mainstays like iron man or captain america to be out because they were injured, killed, kidnapped, or even on vacation.

Falcon as Cap would've been a fine gimmick for a short while if Spencer didn't go all super fucking political with it. He should've just stuck with Hydra vampire bombs and worm women.

Nothing is worse than America.

Wow you are onto something OP, no one ever talked about this problem

This is the bravest thread on Sup Forums truly

>Whor
Stupid execution
>Chulk
Makes sense, the guy has been a supporting character for the Hulk for years already
>Riri
>Miles
Stupid attempt by Bendis to stroke his black person fetish
>Captain Falcon
Good idea (it worked for Bucky remember) but poorly executed
>Ms Marvel
CUTE
>Hawkeye
She was alright in Fraction's run, everything else not so much

Attempting to reach new audiences.

However the new audience they aimed for dont actually by comics, just see panels posted on the internet and say they're big fans. In addition they alienated old fans with the way the mantle changes were handled, while also making it harder for casual fans to get into the comics as most of the characters they knew werent anywhere to be found.

Friendly reminder that stores don't lose money when Marvel makes bad comics. Marvel loses money because stores don't order them. So when you see the numbers, those are store purchases, not customer ones. Comic book stores don't mark every single purchase and send it to diamond, if you think they do I cannot fathom how stupid you are.

When a store closes it's usually because they picked a bad location (for instance, there are already 3 big comic shops in my area and they all have their regulars) and weren't able to pay their rent because it's basically impossible to get customers to switch, or because they had too many people order books and then not pick up their pull. If you do the latter, please kill yourself because that is money out of their pocket.

That and it attracted the attention of outragefags making it even more difficult to talk about comics peacefully.
It's not a alignment problem, it's a mentality problem and those who treat comics as more of a "cultural battleground" should be disregarded

it is when the bendis/superman threads are being deleted. bendis said he's going to make superman political. that's a green light for mods to show their bias and censor people

>waah waah

now why would they not pick up their pull?

could it be because comics are A) too expensive, B) the capitalist economy is shit, C) the stories suck or maybe even D) capeshit is marketed to kids who are unemployed

>censorship is totally fine

How is Chulk any better than Whor?

This sounds like damage control

How is that damage control?

that sounds like a buzzword

kek you called it

Open a blog.

I don't know, you'd think that if people didn't want a book, they wouldn't order it. It's a giant dick move because when you tell your LCS to pull something for you, they have to actually pay for it.

Now that Gwenpool ended and Waid's Cap run turned out to be shit I'm not even reading any Marvel, it's just that casuals Sup Forums have a habit of coming here and knowing nothing at all about comics or the industry.

Not true. Marvel often overship certain "favored" titles and stick the comic stores business proprietor with the costs. So yes Marvel's tactics do harm the store owners and a lack of events/books that people want to read also means there is less foot traffic into the stores and that means less money for the owners.

Stores only have to pay shipping on the overshipped books which I don't believe is enough to kill a LCS. Overshipping is still a shitty business practice and the whole variant thing was nonsense, but stores don't die specifically because of Marvel. The fact that you think they're essentially mailing people boxes full of bills tells me that you don't know what you're talking about.

Given the razor thing profit margins for the comic book retail business as well as costs of labor and actual physical stock for the business, I think it does harm them. Most of them are not exactly swimming in money in the first place and Marvel is putting their noses to the grindstone and trying to juice them for all they have while not actually helping them customers through the stores.

M8 I'm pretty sure they can pay for shipping without their entire business going under, that's why the backlash wasn't THAT big. I'm pretty sure my LCS's owner has kids too.

Remember when Night Thrasher was brought back to life like 2 months before Civil War II and they did fucking nothing with him!? He doesn't even have any extra development that you have to learn to write him with. It's a simple fish out of water story. What happened to his company? What's he gonna do with Justice and Speedball? Hey check it out, his best buddy Rich is in the same situation. Why doesn't Marvel do an NT mini-series?

you're completely right. Sam has gotten the shaft so much with the marketing department. They wanna show off Miles, Riri, Hulk, fucking young Cyclops more than Sam. At least Sam has a good story and didn't feel forced down our throats like Jane Thor. I'm fine with a lady Thor, just not Jane Foster as Thor.

>Alex Ross is super autistic and refuses to draw Kyle
>has no problem drawing nu-Marvel's diversity corps
What did he mean by this?

>without getting a push
HAHAHAHAH
Nigga what. Kamala was pushed harder than miles. She was had her comic advertised on the audio comic stuff since her book started. Her editor gave a copy of the book to Obama. She was slapped on the Avengers and put front and center. She was several games, several cartoons, and a anime. She appeared in multiple events, and had tony and carol fighting over who would be her mentor. She was in every teaser for every relaunch. That girl got pushed beyond the moon and sells less than miles.

>That girl got pushed beyond the moon and sells less than miles.

Her trades sell better than Miles' though

You like sam because people shit on him, he's more Spider-Man than miles it's hilarious

floppies make more than trade.

Also as soon as his character got a new status quo, his dad being with him, it's shot down. Then as soon as he has the best Marvel comic of 2017 it's canceled.
