March 1, 2012 6:19 pm Only DC can reboot a character becasue he is so impenetrable and then make him as impenetrable again in the space of 6 issues.
March 1, 2012 6:17 pm Absolutely right.
February 28, 2012 6:08 pm Trade waiter but my list which started out at 15 has been whittled down to: Wonder Woman, Action, Batman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, All-Star Western I was considering Batman and Robin, Demon Knights, Justice League Dark, Frankenstein but decided against them. Everything at DC is on an extra short leash after the decision to go ahead with Before Watchmen. I'm not going to cut anything any slack. If a book dips in my interest it's going and I'm not going to try a book in the name of diversity. DC has exhausted all my good will.
February 14, 2012 12:20 am Since the DC market research indicates that new readers are only about 2% of the readership, i'm not sure it matters
February 9, 2012 11:12 pm It's also striking that this happens in relation to Kirkman who is so self-righteous about (and I'm interpreting here) the moral superiority of independent creator owned comics
February 9, 2012 10:42 pm I don;t see him doing x-men - at least not at the moment
February 9, 2012 10:34 pm I find it somewhat reassuring that things haven't changed since the days of Kirby, Siegel and Shuster.
February 2, 2012 5:10 am Well I don't think it is akin to shitting on the Mona Lisa. I think it is exploitative to a degree that goes beyond good taste. That's it. I find it depressing. I'm not even judging the individual works except to say they won't be as good as watchmen (ok maybe the word hack and dreck appeared which may be unfair but in my defense I was mainly thinking of JMS). I will admit that my assessment of the creators has dropped a few notches.
February 2, 2012 5:02 am I don't see how agreeing with resurrection flan makes me condescending since u responded to him. I apologized for my intemperate comments earlier. I thought his response to u was witty and succinct hence he lol. But suit itself. I disagree on one point though - you said a money grab wouldn't use good creative teams. Why not? Most creative industries still believe that a good product will be more profitable than a bad one (except Michael bay)
