"Adult coloring books"

SO EXCITED!!!

"Adult coloring books"

That Skottie Young book seems interesting... I really like a lot of his covers.

AWESOME. Adult Coloring Books are totally a real thing. They're more complicated and intricate than kid's color books. You'd need to use a giant box of colored pencils to do them. I've been to a "drunk coloring" event where we all had free beer and wine and colored portraits of famous authors (some of the pictures had male and female nudity). If that's not adult, I don't know what is.

I own the NEXTwave coloring book issue.......

Adult Colouring books....."Adult" Colouring books.....why is this a thing...

for kids it's fine but adults....really???

I feel misled when it said "adult"

I wanted boobies and nekkid ladies.

I lvoe colroing books

Im not really sure who this is for, but these are basically just black and white variants right? Imma get my big boy crayons for this.

Can't wait to make Johnny Storm black huehuehuehuehuehue

I'm into it

@fuzzylittlerodent: That's some comedy gold you got there buddy especially with that Rob Liefield face! LMFAO

It's funny how the Little Marvel is in the listed for "adult coloring books". I wonder what conversations with store owners will have with that? "Awww, buying that for your son or daughter I hope?, No I'm buying that for me!" and he gives you the weird look. Lol

I'll most likely get the Little Marvel one.

I'd like to see the inside. Are they like the NextWave coloring book?

While i think it's kinda cool, i also get that strange vibe if a adult buys one they will not get a break from the insults coming from their family members and significant others...

@maddpanda531: Not their idea!! It's really a thing right now!!!

I'd love some classic like AoA, Infinity Gauntlet, and some X-Babies

This is a super cute idea. I can't get over the irony that comic book fans (fans of a traditionally children's medium), are hating on this as being too kiddy.

@iceslick: why thank you, my good man

Clearly targeted to me, because that Little Marvel one is getting bought as soon as it's available

Okay Marvel, do you.

Great Idea.

@nappystr8: Same. I don't see what's wrong with coloring. It's art, however you look at it.

Awesome.

Ima just turn every character into Might Guy

So...coloring for fun, you're a kid, do it as a career for Marvel and it's okay, but color for fun as an adult and....oh wait, stop the presses!

Dude, it's just a coloring book, everyone relax. We all read comics, so let's not take things too seriously. I want The Civil War one.

On the topic of "Adult Coloring Books" I recently saw an article somewhere that a Game of Thrones coloring book was announced. Now that is definitely going to be for adults. So I guess adult coloring books are a thing.

Think of all the alternate costumes you can create!!!

You could even color it like the Amalgam universe with Super Soldier, Iron Lantern, etc.

You could have Spider-Man wear a Spider-Gwen variant costume. Or a Miles Morales costume. So many possibilities!!!

@thor_parker82: i already have my my old man joking how i read Graphic novels and collect dolls.... i could only imagine what he would say if i had a coloring book.

Lol, don´t listen to him man, I am surely going to be bothered as well and I am going to buy it nonetheless.

anyone knows the paper quality of their coloring book ?

Is it possible to use watercolor painting on thoses and still being able to do the coloring on the other side ?

@idontlikebirds: dude this a comic book message board. One of the most non ironic places on the internet.

its all in the hobby. comics all over one of my rooms at my house and a shelf full of marvel selects, marvel legends, and DC collectibles etc.

I get it bro, I love comics as well, and I hate the stereotype that they are meant for kids.

Last I checked, coloring books didn't have age limits.

But I'll be damned if I'm going to color hyper-detailed Bryan Hitch artwork.

SAY WHAT?! Where do I buy these?

Feeling quite...

Conflicted!

Muahahahajajajaja

Adult Coloring Books?! Buahahahahaha!! Listen, I know we've been trying for years to explain to folks comics aren't just for kids, but... this is ridiculous.

What do you mean traditionally? Comics haven't been (just) for kids for decades. Most of the stuff is even too mature for kids.

There was a time when I may have thought this was wierd but we live in a world where Bronies, furries and furry Bronies exist so really the bar for wierd is just too damn high now days for adult coloring books to even register.

Comics were never just for kids, but for most of their existence, they have been primarily targeted at kids. They are still widely considered to be a child's medium by the mainstream, regardless of the fact that we know better. Almost all of this could be said about coloring books as well. Hence the irony that some comic fans accept one as worthy of adults, but not the other.
