Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

From the dismal reviews that sucker has been getting (and it was the most anticipated Villains book too!), reselling and/or microwaving sound like better options than actually reading it. :)

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

DC has made it clear they're anti-married superheroes in general. Heck, they just said that Mera is no longer married to Aquaman, despite the fact that she was introduced in the New 52 as his queen.

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I have to say, I'm not sure I've ever seen a line that long in my local comic shop outside of FCBD in the decade or so I've been going there. Everyone seemed to have at least one 'villain' book in...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I think I'm going to use "Villains Month" as a jumping-off point. What few DC books I haven't dropped are just being read out of habit. :(

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I have all the X-Factor TPBs, and it's funny looking at them all side by side and seeing how ridiculously slim they get over time. There are a couple that are so absurdly tiny that Marvel can barely...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I'm sure that's true to an extent, but there have been so many quotes from so many exasperated creators -- many of whom have been in the industry for a pretty long time -- about how DC has been run...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Geez, DC dumping Kevin Maguire sure doesn't make me any more enthusiastic. He reteamed with Kevin Giffen and JM DeMatteis for Justice League 3000 #1 and completed the entire first issue. DC decided...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

It's a little overwritten, but I agree with the key points:

* Tonally, these books are all basically indistinguishable from one another. (My favorite books leading up to the New 52 were the...

Oh, geez. This blog post brilliantly analyzes everything that's wrong with DC nowadays: http://whenwillthehurtingstop.blogspot.com/2013/08/sir.html

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I'm surprised Demon Knights lasted this long. I really liked the book when it first started, but it started to feel like I was reading about a war in near-real-time, and when I'm at issue 9 or...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Why does there need to be a "true judge"? Who cares who's hardcore? Why does it matter to prove that one person is better at liking something than someone else? The appeal wholly, completely...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I hate, hate, hate "true fan" arguments.

Most of the "comic stores" I went to growing up were used book stores that sold comics too and had a modest back issue selection (one in filing cabinets!)....

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Extremely low margins, lack of returnable product, and dwindling consumer interest. As much as I love comics, the entertainment-value-per-dollar is dismal.

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

It's a nice gesture. There are times when I've been out of town on a Wednesday for business, and when I go into the shop on Thursday -- a difference of one day, let alone the week MinLShaw is...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Agreed, and I don't really think that what DC did 26 years ago under different leadership and in a completely different sales climate necessarily has much to do with what'd happen today (although...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

I think this is kind of past the not-worth-the-argument end of things. Maybe I'm not expressing my points as well as I should have, and I don't believe I said anywhere that things were going to...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

To pretend it's motivated by story and not by sales. To give themselves an excuse to launch a miniseries with 18,000 spinoffs leading up to it. It wouldn't be any different than having Flashpoint...

Well, there's that too. :) (When I said "teaser", I meant "teaser for the next arc", not "teaser for the reversion of an entire universe".)

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Sure, although I'd argue that's not a completely apples-to-apples thing since the Anti-Monitor was a focal part of CoIE, whereas Pandora has just kinda been lurking in the background.

I don't...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

The cynical part of me thinks that if they keep a character who's directly responsible for the reboot around after that story is over and done with, and if they make it a point to emphasize that...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

My plan was to give all the relaunched titles 6 issues -- a trade's worth -- to decide what I'm going to drop and what I'm going to stick with. The mildly annoying thing is that some of those books...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Actual line of dialogue from Justice League #6: "You did it! You saved us! You're the world's greatest super-humans!"

I'd be a terrible comics writer, but holy mother of God, at least I can do...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

After being not-overly-impressed by #2 and scratching my head at how aggressively bland #3 was, I think I'm right there with you. Luthor's the only interesting character in the book, the art is...

Re: DC UNIVERSE Reboots in September, Same Day Digital Linewide

Superman #1 was kind of a slog, but issue #2 was pretty good. Boy, Perez sure keeps hammering home the "Clark Kent writes about downtrodden people!!!!!" notes over and over and over and over and...
