Ads have been in comics since the dawn of time

Well yes, normal adverts with their respective pages. As Orion said, NOT fugly banners. I have never encountered front-page ads on comic books before and I have 3 separate DC comics that have ad banners at the top. It's fucking irritating.

Oh yes banners on cover art is shit

Thank god they stopped doing that, although they did it for like 6 months straight on every issue, I know some people who stopped buying it because of that

Oh it was only a temporary thing? That's a relief. Honestly what you said doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I would think twice about buying a comic I wanted just because of the banner. In my eyes it lowers the quality and the value! I mean it could be the best comic in the world but you wouldn't want to frame it or display it because it has a stupid dated banner on the front. It even undermines comic books as a valid and respectable art form. I mean imagine this happened:

Thought arrow was doing ok don't no why it needs so much advertising :/

@Lykos lol
@MrCanalSpy Yeah, Arrow has been a mixture for me. I love the Island segments and some of the present day stuff like with Merlyn, China White and Deadshot, but hate the drama stuff with Black Canary, His family and blabla melodramatic bs
