Ken Aldred Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) I've never really been that bothered by modern glossy paper stock. Occasionally you'd encounter a new indie using glossy paper with a fairly noxious, powerful, synthetic odour which would be a bit too distracting for me. Marvel and DC's paper seemed to be flimsy and prone to crunching, so finding a really nice high grade copy at the LCS could be problematic, at least when I was buying, up until 2010. I like the wider colour spectrum used in moderns, but the digital enhancements, to colour and effects, are highly variable in their ability to improve or detract, of course.

kav Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 why is Flash actin all surprised and ****? He sees sniper, he could disarm and build a house in time it take for his jaw to drop. Remember to Flash, everyone is basically as still as a statue. In his time it takes someone abt a year to raise their arm 6 inches.

Logan510 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 It's odd, but the modern paper does have that glare / reflection that can make it difficult to read depending on your lighting. I do not experience the same thing when reading a 1980's Marvel graphic novel which uses very high quality paper Hollywood1892, Readcomix and kav 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself continually adjusting lamp, moving book, head, anything so I can SEE. It should not be like this!!! They are selling books then impeding the ability to read the damn things. Do Better.

That is one of the contributing factors to why I don't buy and read many modern comics. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
