May 21, 2012 3:58 pm @ uspunx: goodreads dot com is a website for avid readers (not comics for the most part) the few times comics are referred to there's those will admit why they don't read this is why they don't read comics. Do ALL people every where think this way? Eye of the beholder. And if you think other mediums have not dumb things down just look at your local newspaper. Back in the day, articles would be printed for pages at length and now, mere columns. Music? Forget about it! These very business organizations fear people's short attention span. @ wallytgm: It is NOT my obligation to give anyone credibility to the level of their intelligence, much like Jim M. and others who state that its not their obligation to keep anyone's business model going.

May 21, 2012 3:19 pm Light week: Batman Inc. JLD Journey Into Mystery Ragemoor Resident Alien BQ: This question reminded me of a Rolling Stone interview with Anton Le Vey (author of the Satanic Bible), he was asked if he thought modern music was evil and his response was "NO". He went on to say that the music which carries evil is old music, the songs that are no longer heard, such as Yes, We Have No Bananas.

May 21, 2012 2:44 pm Because digital comics are made available, in part, to make things easier for the "elusive new reader", so to might the need to make reading comics easier for these people. How many times have you heard people who can't follow the pattern of sequential art say that is why they don't read comics. Will this happen if digital brings more people to the medium? I don't with any certainty, but it's a concern.

May 21, 2012 1:17 pm In the digital vs. print debate I have said before: Convenience will win out over effort. In the hope that digital will attract the so-called "elusive new reader" (be it male or female) my concern is that comic publishers keep in mind the importance of not creating dumb-down content in order to appease them.

May 17, 2012 5:52 pm I'm embarrassed, the first sentence of my initial comment is badly written. I meant to state "don't support these products" at the end, but the signals got crossed in my feeble brain. In any case, I see your point and to that I would say this type of comic is there for those who are ignorant of the art form. I don't doubt this is crap on paper, but the makers couldn't care less about quality so long as anyone browsing through this swill catch keywords and phrases highlighting the brand and its products.

May 17, 2012 2:39 pm The best thing to do with a poorly made comic is not buy the thing. I didn't know this existed until I read this article, so it only brings attention to shoddy work. Sometimes, ignoring something will make it go away.

May 17, 2012 2:32 pm I really want to like this. The promo is cool looking. Though it was published many moons ago, I'd still like to see an adaptation of Long Bow Hunters, but the story is hardcore so I don't think it'll ever happen.

May 16, 2012 3:12 pm I'm rather partial to Lucifer from Sandman and His own title. A villain who wants his own way because he's tired of the old way.
