Gamers who read comics tend to only read Vertigo and other non-superhero stuff, so there’s this weird perception in a lot of the industry that superhero comics sell poorly and are on the way out. Gamers also kinda tend not to check sales charts, and frequently assume even favorite titles sell way more than they do.

(I play video games for a living, so if anyone gets to make fun of gamers in this thread, it’s me…)

“That wasnâ€™t really gamer-bashing as much as it was these-particular-guys-bashing. I loved FF IX. ”

I enjoyed IX myself, although I think XII is probably my favorite of the series yet.

“actually, the random gamer bashing is getting vaguely worrying now. Iâ€™ve played games since I was old enough to switch a computer on and enjoy both games and comics with equal amounts of OMG, AWESOME. And for what its worth, some of the final fantasy titles tell absolutely amazing stories.”

“You think they actually know something that wasnâ€™t told to them in a cutscene during Final Fantasy?”

“Do these people even look at sales charts, or do they just make up whatever they think will prove their point?”

Well, actually the only reason DH and Vertigo topped Marvel in trade sales this year are the movies for Sin City and V for Vendetta.

“I imagine he meant in bookstore trade sales.”

And even that is skewed, considering how Marvel will release everything in trade, whereas Darkhorse/Vertigo/DC are a little more conservative with their publishing habits. It’s got to be a really landmark series to get a trade from DC.

God I wish they would release O’Neill’s The Question.

Of course, manga’s still kicking all their asses in that venue…

From kotaku:
“Not surprised this came from a marvel writer. No wonder Dark Horse and DC’s Vertigo comics are kicking Marvels butt in sales.”

Do these people even look at sales charts, or do they just make up whatever they think will prove their point?

I think either millar was being stupid and trying to make a joke (which I canâ€™t find the humor in, I mean seriously, he called a large group of geekdom child molesters, I canâ€™t see how thatâ€™s funny.) or he just said it to get a ton of free publicity. Which is what I am leaning towards now, given other things he has said in the past.

I think it was quite obviously a silly throwaway joke buried in an article showing photos of his house. It wasn’t the best joke in the world, but then it was only a throwaway four word joke. I’m sure I’ve made worse.

The sad thing about geeks is they can go mental when they feel threatened

“Thatâ€™s hilarious. A clear indication that gamers are twitchy and guilty if they canâ€™t take a joke. I love it. These guys should spend less time whacking off to Miss Lara Croft and more time reading Spider-Manâ€™â€

“thatâ€™s not fair. I read tomb raider and play spider man 2.”

“But do you wack off to them?”

I Stephen Wacker off to them.

I don’t know what is worse, the fact I can’t tell if Millar was being serious or joking, or how stupid both sides are being.

I think either millar was being stupid and trying to make a joke (which I can’t find the humor in, I mean seriously, he called a large group of geekdom child molesters, I can’t see how that’s funny.) or he just said it to get a ton of free publicity. Which is what I am leaning towards now, given other things he has said in the past.

I find it funny how geeks on both sides are tying to imply the otherside have no life. Talk about pot being black.
