PLEASE Consider Supporting CBO

Please consider supporting Comic Bits Online because it is a very rare thing in these days of company mouthpiece blogs that are only interested in selling publicity to you. With support CBO can continue its work to bring you real comics news and expand to produce the video content for this site. Money from sales of Black Tower Comics & Books helps so please consider checking out the online store.
Thank You

Sunday

Note that a small number of friends visit this blog and comment so they are not included in the below piece.  you are.

Now I know that no one who comes and checks out CBO really gives a flying fart but I would like to highlight how you pretend comic fans are killing the industry.

CBO is an obvious example -well over 20 years and about as much feed-back as from a dog-pat on the pavement. At the start of this year I put a few weeks worth of work onto CBO in the way of Mega Posts -Sub-Mariner, JLA, Avengers, Frankenstein, Gilgamesh, Samson and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Each took a few days of work -thousands of words and hundreds of images.  Reaction?

THOUSANDS of words in the Avengers posting and..."You forgot the 'K' in Black Knight".

All the other Mega posts were scrapped because, obviously, no one out there has any serious interest in comics or movie, TV related comics.

Your lack of support has been noted.  No more daily posts.  No more special features -you cannot be bothered to Google+ an item to show the simplest and easiest support?  But then, on Face Book the views have risen and it seems too difficult for those who visit to even click "Like".

We have seen Independent comic publishers go out of business after years because you people are not really interested in anything but being conned over what the next "BIG investment" comic is going to be. You deserve to be conned.  Short print run comics are where the real investment is not in the more-than-glut-proportioned over printing and reprinted comics from Marvel, DC, Image or one of the other Big 5.

We have now seen 20 -twenty- comic bloggers quit in 2018 because they feel like they are posting to themselves.  Blogs need feedback but you morons aren't interested. Now you'll be just reading "Marvel this"/"DC that" and you deserve the blandness you are getting until the next "big event" that you can flush all your money down the toilet on.

We have also seen many You Tube Comic bloggers, such as Ghost Critic, give up.  Same reasons. He isn't the only one.  I watched 25 of these video blogs in 2017 and now there are 5 left.  It seems you only like the gutter trash videos where people attack each other and hurl insults. Are your brains that far gone?

Just over 10 years ago I actually predicted this very situation on CBO. It was one I wanted to be proven wrong on but you had to go and prove me right.

Planned fanzines were scrapped by people because they realised that fake comic fans are not interested.

Millennials.

There is one to put in your computer diaries (I assume some of you can right): "Helped to not just destroy Independent comics but also independent reviewing and blogging".

You must be so proud.

CBO still gets a lot of views a day. No comments.  One day very soon you will click on the link and receive the message "This blog Does Not Exist".

There is absolutely no excuse for not commenting or supporting any of the above. As this is a "safe for family" blog I cannot adequately 'thank' you for your leeching.
