Your complete guide to Destructoid

Keep your forms to yourself, DC
pinksage \| 4:09 PM on 09.13.2008	24 comments

I am moderately tolerant of ads in my comic books. As long as I can flip my pages quickly and efficiently, I remain content. Now, when a flapping piece of paper is added that obstructs my page flipping, I become unhappy. Fine, try to link my comic book about coming back to life as a devil, gaining revenge and killing lots of people with the NAVY — but not add a flapping form to my experience. It’s not going to make me show interest or fill it in. Who does tangable forms anymore? Columbia Records 12 cds for 1 cent form tragedy is long gone. Get with the times. Save some trees.

Accelerate your life. Also, knots.

MrSadistic

must. join. navy.

Aziel13

can't tell you how much that annoys me too

Aaron Mxy Yost

Pfft, comics are for nerds.

Tug Your God Out

Yeah I was quite displeased with that too. Two weeks in a row those darn Navy cards got in the way.

Didn't really think about airing my concern anywhere but you're not alone...

Clockwork

[Insert gay sailor joke here]

Brian Szabelski

That stuff is all kinds of annoying.

Daxelman

Military Ads in my comics?

Well....hmmm.....damn.

Sharpless

OH HAI.

That shit offends me. Keep military ads out of my gaming magazines and comic books, please.

Technophile

That's why I just buy trades. No ads in those. :D

!yvan eht noij

Gameboi

Just knowing that people still enjoy DC comics is enough for me. Most of the people I know, just want to gush over Marvel.

pinksage

@Sharpless ohai!

@Gameboi haha, to be honest I'm a Vertigo fan (which technically is dc).

awkwardmongoose

@ Gohangvo

Please god say N'sync is not going to show up!

Geoff Henao

That's what you get for reading DC. There are reasons why people are gushing over Marvel. ;)

MaxVest

Yeah, I tend to avoid the forums too. wait what

vexed alex

@ Gameboi

Spiderman is a queer!

:D

Garbz

Dunno why people are gushing over Marvel these days. Spiderman has gone down the shitter IMO, Secret Invasion has gone from promising to pants very quickly.

In all honesty, the only thing Marvel has going for it atm is some damned decent X-Men stories and the Steven King shit.

Atleast DC is still fun to read at times.

Ontopic: i concur, cardboard ad thingys in comics = great pain.

Brandon Undead

technophile got it, trades ftw.

OR, not downloading from not piracy sites. CDisplay is a god's gift to broke comic nyerds.

Gameboi

LoL @ Alex.

CrocBox

Yeah! If they want to get people to join the NAVY they should create a boy band that sings a subliminal message that tells them to-oh wait...

This pisses me off as well, in any form of print. I hate getting magazines that have like 3 gigantic inserts in them so it makes it impossible for me to quickly turn to any other page except those. >_<
