Theme of this blog.

(I thought it would be fun to have a poll where people could advertise less well known ships and be NORMAL in the tags and also hopefully create more fanworks, so taking this idea from @wlwdcchampionship @dcpolyampolls @dc-king-yaoi)

Setting rarepair to mean any ship that has less fics than Boostle on Ao3, so ~500 works maximum (might waive if most of the fics are for canons other than comics)

INTRODUCING: SWIPE ON COMIC POLLS!

the premise.

blorbo from your comics is suddenly on a dating app!? you're suddenly on a dating app??!?!! how??? why?!!! but— we don't have time to answer questions, y/n. swipe NOW

the drill.

swipe right means yes.

swipe left means no.

two options only.

rules for participation.

i will not reblog propaganda.

this is being hosted for fun so please keep things civil! peace and love and planet earth.

truly, i mean it. i can see your tags and what they say every notification.

you can swipe right or left for any reason you like, whether you don't think this character would ever get dates willingly or unwillingly, or whether you yourself personally aren't into it for whatever reason, and so on.

if things go out of control in the tags, i will turn off reblogs and delete the post and start the poll afresh.

certain polls may come with gimmicks depending on the character, but i will be sure to not make it too intrusive or go against the format of the polls.

rules for submission.

please send characters you want in a poll by asks! anon is available & the ask is open to everyone.

characters must be +18 in age. no exceptions.

primarily focusing on marvel and dc comics, but i will accept characters from other superhero comics too!

comics strictly.

you are more than welcome to attach a picture of the character with your asks if you want :)

rematches can be asked for after a poll has been completed! albeit the rematches will occur much later on purpose.

please try to send multiple requests in one ask! but no worries either way. you do you <3

*This poll was submitted to us and we simply posted it so people could vote and discuss their opinions on the matter.

Not a poll, but could be something this group might be interested in. They cover all kinds of artists, here are just a few from one of their several magazine types.

Btw the price shown is for the print edition, and the digital download is usually $6 instead of $11, 80+ pages.

Anyway, check them out. They're good.

TwoMorrows Publishing needs your help!

Not sure how many of you are familiar with John Morrow and publishing company he and his wife run, but he's a huge Jack Kirby and overall comics fan that got started with zines way back in the day and built up to become a pretty well established company through the 90s and has been going strong since.

They've put out tons of valuable resources, interviews and collections not just on Kirby but many famous artists and writers, and all kinds of comic lore!

But just today (Feb 3, 2025) I saw a startling email calling for help from their fans and subscribers. Here are the first few paragraphs:

Diamond Comic Distributors has filed for bankruptcy without paying for our December and January magazines and books, leaving us with enormous losses—and we still have to cover our expenses on those items, and keep producing your favorite publications. Until payments from our new distributor begin in a few months, we’re staying afloat with webstore sales. So here are five ways you can help:

1) Order something at www.twomorrows.com!Anything you purchase directly from us—print or digital—will help us stay in business, and avoid disruptions to our upcoming releases.Get our new 2025 catalog here for easy ordering.

2) Subscribe or purchase our next few issues!Retailers could miss some items during our switch to Lunar Distribution, and new tariffs may result in price increases.Save by pre-ordering upcoming items from TwoMorrows now, and subscribe or renew your current print or digital subscription.

The other three are about sales, contacting your local store, and if you've contributed to their publications.

They have sales on and off, tons of different periodicals, basically ALL their back issues of the Jack Kirby collector for digital sale, and so much more. Not sure what to get? They have previews of pages on the site too! It's great!

I really encourage you to give them a look. I know this might come across as shilling for some publishing company, but this is truly and genuinely run by people who are first and foremost fans, and second passionate about the creators in the comics industry. Those are both sentiments I can get behind.

This one sounds a bit time sensitive, so please consider reblogging.

[dc-polls]

Plz answer honestly! Also plz reblog for exposure 🙏

stealing from the Marvel side of the comics fandom

[dc-polls]

Put nuance in the notes!

[dc-polls]

I know I just said we're taking a break, but has there been a DC romantic partners tournament? Please tell me there has so we dont have to do one. Im talking like Clois vs Lightning Rods vs Batcat vs Dickory. Someone save us by linking to whoever won because this mustve already been a thing right? Please?

[dc-polls]

And the misconception bigger than all others in the DC universe according to Tumblr voters is that Nighting is a slut/himbo!!

Do you agree? Think that's a misconception in itself? Think there's room for interpretation? Feel like something else should've won instead? Sound off in the notes and let people know! After all, this is comics we're talking about. ;) Either way, congrats Dick Grayson, hopefully your truest fans know who you really are.

--

This was an interesting tournament, and I really hope it was fun to see what was on people's radar. I especially hope it didn't make yall pull out all your hair in frustration or hit too many nerves. The way I see it, it's all in good fun, even the bitching and moaning. Part of being a comics fan in a weirdly endearing yet annoying way that I think we can all identify with.

Anyway, thanks for sticking with us to the end of this one. See you around!

Biggest DC Misconception

- THE FINALS -

At this point you know the drill. I don't need to lay it out for you. You've seen the submissions for months. So which is it? Which is more egregious to get wrong? Which is just plain not in the text? Which is the thing that people think is true but isn't?

[dc-polls]

Heh if you just saw me post the misconception schedule (which yes I keep in drafts as a quick reference for myself), no you didnt 😅

Anyway, here's your reminder that this closes in an hour and a half so get final votes in!!!
