I'm glad to have helped! I figure if you follow any accounts that are about comic book characters (or are characters who originate from comics), maybe searching "comic" might get you some recs. 🤔 I can't remember how I stumbled across that list (it would've been a year or so ago) but I have found that the blogs that seem to be dedicated to a specific character (or fans who are super into a character) tend to have a comics list.
Who knew commenting would be such a point of controversy? Maybe I come from a jaded part of fandom, but I think a lot of it comes from a lot of entitlement. I kind of have this perspective that people think they are owed comments, thus they deserve them, and if they don't get comments, then why should they comment on someone else's work? (I've seen a creator complain about not getting comments despite getting a healthy dose of 5-8 per chapter, yet they don't comment on the fics they read.)
I suspect it's also controversial because a lot of people complain about not getting comments, then that makes readers (and viewers? I don't know what we call it for fan artists) feel self-conscious because creators complain they don't get comments yet they get a few comments from the type of reader who says "This was great!" but their complaints disregard those loyal readers who do comment—just not to the creator's standards. (I guess it's entitlement and a lack of gratitude.)
I think it's a whole kettle of fish. It's interesting to look at from the outside, but frustrating as fork to be in the very centre of it.
