Bio: Comic books in Canada cost way too much money, sometimes up to 200% more than the American price. MOST COMICS ARE PRINTED IN CANADA. Write to comic book publishers and tell them how you feel about this. Countless brick and mortar shops are losing more and more business each day due to the cost of comic books in Canada. Why should a book that was printed in Canada cost $26.99 while the American cover price is $14.99? The numbers are side by side, clear as day. That's nearly double the price! The particular book in question is "Pulse Vol. 3: Fear" trade paperback from Marvel, a prime example of price jacking. A book about a B-rated character (at best) from the largest publisher in Comics today shouldn't cost double the price just because it's Canadians reading the book. It should be noted that the book was published during a time when the Canadian dollar exceeded the value of the American dollar for a very short period of time. This is killing your local comic shop. They are alienating their readers. Speak up.
Only one should be considered racist, the Captain Marvel cover. The Capitan America cover is clearly anti-racist. I assume you mean the way the Japanese people were drawn. I'd also like to point out that White people don't look like Captain Marvel does, but you don't hear anyone calling racism over that. It was a different time with a different outlook on the world.
I fail to see how these covers are racist in the sense that they purposely seek to offend based on one's race, although an argument could be made to prove the opposite.
My solution? Stop caring about the little things that annoy you about the past. You'll never be able to enjoy these books if all you can think of is how they drew all the Asian guys with large teeth.
:(
This episode has me wanting more, so I guess I'll have to put an order in for the first trade.
Off to get this week's books, cheers.
Anyway, it's working now. Please ignore my previous comment.
