@MtyKwan I think she has telekinetic and telepathic powers and can mimic other people's powers but I'm not entirely sure.
I really liked the art, had an appropriate feel. Wasn't really feeling the fight at the start, I like the idea that there's nothing he can do to stop fear and giving him someone to punch kind of wrecked it for me.
This story was pretty good, and the art was nice, but there were a lot of little things that didn't really make sense or felt like a repeat of previous issues. I feel like the story needed to move quicker.
This could be way off line, but wouldn't Marvel's higher price allow them to publish more titles? A higher price means less need to be sold to make a profit, and if less need to be sold, less need to be made which means costs are lower. This would allow books with lower sales to continue to make profit and continue to be published.
Is it possible DC is publishing less books because at their lower price a lot more need to be sold to make the same amount of money? It seems there would be a relationship between books published and the price they're sold at.
@stuclach I love myself a good regression. Great work.
It appears that almost all the data supports that 2.99 vs 3.99 isn't a big deal. Even the top 10 thing doesn't really work against it as it's pretty much the three titles (green lantern, brightest day, batman inc) that are in there. Green Lantern has been leading into an event, brightest day is an event, and batman inc is a morrison book. At any price these would have sold well, and based on those top 10 numbers, more people were still dropping brightest day as it went on. In all those top 10's, Fantastic Four and Avengers are still killing it in sales, despite the higher price tag. All it really indicated is that quality books with big name creative teams do well, which I think we all knew.
I think Ron was more saying that, in general, the quality of DC has been waning, not that each individual title is terrible. Not that I read a lot of DC, but it appears that many people on the site agree with Flash having an average rating of around 3.4 in the last few weeks despite leading up to this big even, Green Lantern pulls are down almost 20% despite entering a mini event and Superman's quality has been low (grounded...low..not flying high, see what I did there....quite poorly) 7 of the most pulled books last week were marvel, 5 the week before that, and only 3 DC books in the top 10 three weeks ago.
This was pretty interesting though, I know next to nothing about DC characters but found this to be very enjoyable. It's sold me on the main line of books at least.
