Comic books without a doubt have become more mainstream in recent years but recently due to several internal & external issues, their public perception of them had somewhat gone downhill especially the rise of Japanese comics. A lot of people state the rising success of manga over comics is due to the balance of a fun story alongside a story with depth. Certain companies have adapted to these critiques while others have continued the stereotypical comic path. Some may feel comics are fine the way they are, others may feel this change is needed. Do comics need to take themselves less seriously & have some fun or does the audience need to change?

Why We're Still Hiding Our Power Levels In an era where The Mandalorian is mainstream and anime is the most-streamed genre in the world, the "Blerd" should be at peak confidence. But for many of us, the trauma of the "blerd-calling" era hasn't fully healed. Whether it's hiding the manga volumes when company comes over or "code-switching" our interests to fit a specific image of Blackness, the fear of social exile is real. Today, we're peeling back the layers on the internal and external pressures that make us hesitate to go "Full Weeb." Are we afraid of being nerds, or are we afraid of losing our connection to the culture?

In a move that caught the comic world off guard, Marvel and DC have bypassed the traditional "Event Comic" hype machine to drop an exclusive digital crossover: Supergirl/Blade. Written by CRC Payne (Batman: Wayne Family Adventures) and featuring the atmospheric art of Mikel Janín, this one-shot marks a massive shift in how the "Big Two" collaborate. Trapped by the interdimensional media mogul Mojo in a literal "Vampire Romance" reality show, the Girl of Steel and the Daywalker have to navigate a world where the tropes are as deadly as the villains. But beyond the fun of seeing a Kryptonian accidentally incinerate a vampire with heat vision, this episode dives into the deeper implications of this specific pairing.Open show: Join Our Patreon: http://patreon.com/vvclifeGrab Some Gear: http://vvcmerch.comGeneral TalkWeekly Recap Sign Up For PatreonBNP TourBaldur's Gate 3 Session 20 at 8pm!Monday Night Co Op “Operation Tango!!Vote For New GameThursday Morning @9am Anime Watch on our Patreon With Fame & Friday Morning at 9am on TikTok & Twitch as he plays Resident Evil 8 The Precious: JS-1: https://amzn.to/4dILb1wFame:Jaelyn: Sloan: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1848414946/tron-inspired-light-up-jacket-other?ref=share_ios_native_controlCommercial #1Main Topic: Commercial: #2Tin Foil Hat: Saturn Rings are man made?Games:Approximately UpPaws CovenThick As ThievesNews: Blade vs. Supergirl: The Crossover We Didn't See ComingIndie Artist PricingA.I. is living in video games?Mortal Kombat Popcorn BucketThe origin of the name “Grok”A.I.
