I discovered this great channel only today and I have to say... kudos to you :) I haven't had the chance to read any of the DC comics, is there any way to read them online or something like that?

[THINKAboutTheINK]

@Yaminho99 Welcome! And yes, all of DC Comics are available online - I suggest going to their website to learn more. You can also visit Comixology.

THINKAboutTheINK is in my top 5 favorite youtube channels i used just watch DC and Marvel animated shows but after seeing you on the Watcher and now here i'am a big comic book fan great channel Grace

[THINKAboutTheINK]

@KeatonWarner1 Top Five?! What an honor! I'm so happy that you're not only enjoying THINKAboutTheINK, but that it's getting you into comics! :)

@Yaminho99 yes Marvel .com or DC comics.com

A slick animated series and merchandising for these characters would be refreshing

Batwing isn't batman he's his own hero just like knightwing.

[kiddynamo41]

@kiddynamo41 do it. And that goes on both ways, minority writers and white writers. And that feels insulting. In new avengers i would see dialogue between peter and luke cage and relate to peter, cause he's like me. a geeky guy with a sense of responsibility, socially awkward and even as a super hero doesn't really fit with anyone. color doesn't matter. is the point of this long winded post. it's a cool thing, but it's not that important.

[kiddynamo41]

I haven't read either of these books, mostly cause i can't bring myself to read a spider-man that's not peter. But speaking from a minority perspective (hispanic), i've never been concerned with the color of a hero. It's never been an issue to me. the issue is do i like this character? Can i relate to this character? And i think, and i'm not saying these books do this cause again i haven't read them and i'm sure they're fine, but i feel like sometimes they'll stick a minority in a mask just to

lmao 0:13 bitch what u say?!

[RingoMcDingo]

I couldn't give a lesser fuck about the skin color of my comic book heroes, as long they are witty and kick ass.

[TheMicrozone]

Static could've been salvaged with a better writer & artist. Mr Terrific sucked. No salvaging that one.

Love Batwing. It's one of my favorite Batbooks, and I grab all of those buy Red Hood now.

Ultimate Spidey is actually the only Marvel book that I still read. I hate, hate, HATE the 20 pages for $3.99 bullshit that Marvel pulls now, and the fact that it takes 5 minutes to read it, but Bendis can write the shit outta Spidey, and has since the original USM. (Wish Amazing was this good.)
