Thank you for this post.

This really sucks. That community did more to get me into comics than anything else. It was free advertising for the industry.

[outlawpoet]

I'm seeing this repeated all over. Lots of people got into comics, or expanded their buying because of what they saw there, myself included.

Word. I just started getting into comics, and just because of s_d.

[schmevil]

SD got me back into superhero comics. For a long time I only read 'lit' comics, but the comm made superheroes fun for me again.

[sir_mikael]

You know, I have the opposite experience. I was all about the superheroes and S_D got me reading and buying other stuff as well.

[inaworldofsong]

Ditto. I've only recently gotten into comics (though I have some from when I was very young) and even though I only lurked at s_d I panicked when I saw that notice. And because of s_d I ran out and got some trades.

This. Even if it wasn't the most careful community I've ever seen about not allowing full scans, etc., it would still be a HUGE net gain for those copyright holders. Banning it is forty kinds of stupid.

Yeah, though technically I've only made two s_d inspired purchases, that's just because I haven't found any others in my LCS's
(well, actually, i found out about that Allred Shade The Changing Man story in Vertigo Jam because of s_d, so I guess that makes three)

[proteus_lives]

Totally, I found out about so much good stuff because of this community.

[porntestpilot]

Motto. I definitely bought a ton of comics off the mentions on scans.

[ex_dwimmer]

WORD. I don't have the greatest amount of money for comics but I always check SD before I'd go to my comic shop and end up one or two more must haves. You can't get more good than that.

[jwaneeta]

That's me too. I buy a lot more comics since joing s_d. This is just so weak.

[scottyquick]

AWESOME ICON IS AWESOME.

PERMISSION TO GANK?

[jwaneeta]

Certainly, help yourself! Glad you like. :)

scans_daily introduced me to Darwyn Cooke (via the New Frontier) and Agents of Atlas. Nuff said.

[bobrhyn]

So *so* much - almost all the comics I own I own because I saw them on s_d first!
