Oh my god, shut the up you whiney baby. Only giant losers post memes like that.
Oh, did the memes hurt your feelings?

I'm close to 2 years behind, but I was buying digital for about 4 to 5 years after my go to shop closed down.
The 2 year layoff will pay off because I should be able to get what I want in trades at a discount.
Edit: and I'm not much of a DC guy so that won't affect me. I'm mostly looking to catch up on Image books - I don't see myself going back to Marvel either.
You’re also forgetting the dirty little secret that is online sites that post pirated copies for free. It’s sites like these that hurt the most. Now people don’t even have to wait months for the price drop. Not sure how they don’t get shut down by Marvel and DC.
Marvel Comics went to shit after they were bought by Disney, and raised the price to $4 an issue.
Then, it became even shittier after they've gone full SJW.
I started during Revised/The Dark. If I'd started a year earlier during Unlimited, I would have made an insane fortune. As it was I remember during the first month I was playing seeing an Unlimited Mox Sapphire in a store and thinking people must be crazy paying sixteen bucks for it.
When I was a kid there was always a turn style rack of comic books for sale at every grocery store. Where have they gone?
They turned into movies.
I kinda miss comics being made on cheaper paper stock, kept the prices down and I'm just nostalgic for that matte feel to the pages. The laminated prints they make now are nice but dropping $10 for two-three comics doesn't sit well with my wallet. They should keep them by the registers at grocery stores, if kids will shell out $5 bucks for a pack of Pokemon cards why not a comic?
You should check out Richard Stark's Parker:
You’re not entirely wrong either. The evolution of how we consume our media makes print seem archaic. Nobody reads a comic any more and doesn’t hear the actors voice in their minds as they do so.
