As nice as it would be, the big bulk of American comic fans just want their franchises. The franchises are heavily marketed more than ever, movie tie ins, crossovers, toys, and whatever else. There's no reason for fans of superheroes to pay attention to any artist or writer until they make something they don't like.
It's just not ever going to be the European or Japanese world where comics are flocked to because of the writer and artist.
I suppose though there's a whole world of creator/indie comics of I am not able to keep up with anymore that is thriving more than ever outside of the tight wearing dudes. I hope people support them.

Hi Susana. I have just started watching your series and love it. I am new to reading comics so have found your show very informative and entertaining. I would love to see an episode, like you did for Wonder Woman, but for Marvel's Captain Marvel. I have read up on her backstory but find it very convoluted and can't find a good jumping in spot to start with her comics - especially with the weird numbering system for the TPB volumes. Keep up the amazing work - Thank you!

when i come back to american comics after reading a lot of manga i end up thinking a lot about layout and color choice and how it can really contribute a lot to the effectiveness of a story. a good example and probably one of my favorite series ever is matt fraction and david aja's hawkeye.

Before this episode I never knew why I really liked certain stories an arcs more than others in my favorite Superheroes. Now I have to go back and look through my favorite arcs to see who specifically worked on them so I can follow them more. :)

I don-t read comics, but I-m a REALLY big fan of the MCU so I find this video (and this series) very valuable to my education on a medium I don-t understand well, but still impacts my culture. Thank you for all the great videos!

Dirty trick using C&H in the thumbnail and then not talking about it directly. Still, insightful and enjoyable as per usual.
Also, I just noticed how long Susana's ponytail is and like, wow.

I got a degree in making comics. You can do that. I'm honestly not sure if my comic-making got better, but it is a thing you can do. Now if I can figure out comic editing.

I'm making my very first comic to pitch for publishing and I love watching your show. It's cool to see the ins and outs of the industry. Keep up the great work: )

I resent the notion that if someone values character over creator they aren't a mature comic reader. it's not only elitist but also a logical fallacy.

Yes! the coloring on Long Halloween is incredible. I've flipped through that way more often just looking at the art than actually reading it.

Seeing the inks and flats makes me wish that the final pass was opt-in when buying comics, I'm sorry colorists. I guess some of you are good.

Comics are entertaining because you don't feel stressed when you read them unlike video games that make you stressed
