May 18, 2013 1:22 pm I dropped all of my DC books a few months back. This is the first time in about fourteen years I am getting zero titles From DC. This kind of thing keeps happening and it just makes me have no desire to support the company at all. Also, I just wanted to be the thirtieth person in this comments section to say "long game."

May 17, 2013 10:36 pm This is a fine line to walk, really. Where o you draw the line? I think Richard Wagner was a hateful person. I also think the Ring Cycle is the single greatest artistic achievement in human history. Sometimes bad people are capable of amazing art. Also, what if you are already invested in something and then find out later something about Ty person who made it? What if when George Lucas dies they find the skin of drying children in his attic? Will the millions of people ho love Star Wars stop loving Star Wats after doing so for their entire lives?

May 17, 2013 10:31 pm It's interesting that you say you don't know anyone well enough to even call them an acquaintance (which is obviously a valid point and absolutely true or most of us), yet people have no problem having negative reactions to creators who they also don't know at all personally. Sure, there are people making comics, or movies, or novels, that I may or may not like. Peter David seems like the kind of guy I would get along with if I knew him. Alan Moore seems like the kind of guy I wouldn't get along with if I knew him. But I don't know either of them, I only know their work. And I like their work.

May 17, 2013 12:58 pm On the flip side of this, what if the creator is somebody you like? Does it make you enjoy their work more, knowing they are e kind of person you would want to hang out with and have a pizza and some drinks?

May 17, 2013 12:57 pm I second that one. Yeah, he was a messed up guy who did some horrible, unforgivable things. But it doesn't make the 94 Super J-Cup any less amazing.

May 15, 2013 6:39 pm DC Comics characters don't get much more obscure than Stanley's Monster. That's so great.

May 15, 2013 12:55 pm I really agree with your opinion of comics from the 70 s and 80 s. I know that today's comics are technically more sophisticated, but if I had to pick between reading those old Iron Man and Defender comics I grew up reading or the stuff Marvel puts out today, it isn't even close. And I don't mean I don't enjoy today's comics, I do. Marvel has a lot of books I really enjoy. But as much as I like them, I would still rather read old FF issues from thirty years ago.

May 15, 2013 12:51 pm Wait, the star of Space Jam played basketball professionally, too? Not just against cartoon aliens?

May 15, 2013 12:06 pm I love The Ventriloquist, definitely one of my favorite Batman villains. Plus, I want him as a villain in a Batman movie, played by Larry David.
