I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.
Yeah, Heidi MacDonald runs https://www.comicsbeat.com/
She’s one of the good ones. It’s a good site that deserves support.
Newsarama died to me when they got rid of the message boards. To me, messageboards are way better than most forms of modern social media because they create actual communities rather than merely the sense of community. To me you have way more interesting conversations in messageboards then on twitter or facebook. Message boards are only going away because someone hasn't figured out a way to monetize them efficiently.
