OMG she's not being feministic!

Comics are series of drawings intended to tell a story. They can be published in books/magazines, in newspapers, and on the Internet. Sometimes, people scan comics and post them to places like scans_daily. This seems to cause a fair bit of wank.

And of course, the fandom, like any other, is batshit insane. It's also pretty unusual for a fandom, in that fans are often devotees of the entire medium, rather than one particular book -- well, except for X-Men fans (aka The Centers of the Universe). Sometimes fans will follow one particular company, which is something that has transferred into the fandom of comics' giant bastard child, manga.

Major Fandom Divisions

[edit]

DC Comics

Home of Superman and the goddamn Batman.

[edit]

Marvel Comics

Wooo X-Men! And, oh yeah, lots of other books...

[edit]

Independents

Sex and violence and art and other stuff that isn't mainstream. *sniff*

[edit]

Webcomics

Penny Arcade, Something Positive, Sluggy Freelance, et al. Is it a whole new medium? Can you make money at it? Well, at least they're as good as the other divisions at producing wank.

[edit]

Other Media

Adaptions of the above divisions into movies or television formats. Includes the X-Men movie, Smallville, the JLA and Batman cartoons, etc. There's often much crossover of fans into the new fandoms, and often friction with fans who wank about the actors, the new canon as compared to the source canon, the supposed larger percentage of (shallow) fangirls, all the usual sort of thing.
