	If you don't mind me asking, can I ask why they kept saying you wouldn't like it and that it was bad? Like, what specifically did they say would be bad about it? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

Ya know, that was what got me... They never actually said why. But they acted like they were doing me such a huge favor and everything. And one of them even told me that the Red Hood issue was great, but when he said that, it just didn't even matter to me what their opinion on the Wondy comic was. Well, it didn't before, but that to me was a red flag.

I'm switching LCSs after this and going to get my Wondy at the new one, but if and when I go back, I'm going to ask them why they said that and what they really thought about the Wondy comic.

	...That is really strange. I mean, it's one thing if it's a good friend who says 'trust me on this don't get it' but these guys didn't give you a reason at all? Veryyyyyyy strange. If you find out, please tell me, hahaha. I'm very curious now! (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

Yeah, it is. And usually, they would give me a pretty good reason or at least some detail! But they just said I wouldn't and nothing more. And the owner is a fan of Wondy and usually enjoys most of the stuff with her, so I don't know what it was about this that he didn't like.

But then again, I know I have some pretty distinct tastes from them at the end of the day. I grew up with manga and anime and enjoy both a lot, but as far as I know, both the guys don't enjoy either at all. And actually, one of the things that struck me about the Wondy title was it did feel kind of like a manga (but still very much so like a graphic novel/comic). Chiang's art is part of that, but even just the writing in general. And I wonder if maybe they read that in a way similar but different than me and that's what turned them off. Well, that's a guess.

But yes, I shall definitely tell you when I do! I'm more curious about it now myself. x'D
It kinda lingered in my mind before, but now it's almost nagging me, haha.

	And these people work at the LCS that told you not to pick it up, right? Well...as I recall, Wonder Woman was one of those books that the highest level of returnability... (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

You mean, a lot of people returned it? Or it was expected to be returned a lot?
Someone mentioned it being sold out at their comic store though.

But they didn't even say anyone returned it or anything. Just that I wouldn't like it. And they don't always get my tastes down so well. I mean, Red Hood and the Outlaws was kind of pretty, but full of fail, and one of them was saying it was good and worth it. At least the Wondy title will be pretty and won't sexualize or objectify its females (and that alone is worth the money).
