It bugs me how some comic fans act like a secret club
I've been into comics for years, but lately... the way some fans talk down to others just gets to me. Like at my local shop, I heard a guy mock someone for only picking up the new Spider-Man book. They said it doesn't count if you skip the indie stuff. Online, it's worse... people will argue for hours if you haven't read every crossover event. It feels like they care more about being right than sharing the hobby. Comics are for everyone, not just experts with encyclopedic knowledge. This attitude just pushes new readers away, and it's honestly sad.
