October 12, 2011 5:36 am I think I'd be more excited about digital comics if they were truly something different, and kinda were using a format of panel to panel. I've been thinking about some of the flash games that when you click have small timed animations and I wonder if something like that was applied to comics. Not quite a motion comic but with customisability for artists to provide a unique user interaction. It might sound a bit outside the normal format, but down to the basics I'd really like to see people breaking out of that traditional double page design. Baby steps.

October 12, 2011 5:26 am As a study I compared Animal Man #1 pirate to Animal Man#1 bought and the only difference was the bought version had some bullshit black bar discolouring down the middle of every page, while the pirate didn't. I don't really know why that would happen but it was very strange... People just don't download one thing pirated, they download everything that way, so changing the model of availibility may not change anything at all, for them. The only thing that might change is by educating why it's so destructive to the medium, but it'd be hard to make people care.

October 2, 2011 2:10 am Thanks for that. I read the first of them and it was very eye opening!

October 1, 2011 9:53 pm I'd love to see Keron Grant's superman some more honestly.

October 1, 2011 6:17 am Really? I thought you were joking Josh! That looked fine to me! I'm probably strange then because I think there's usually not enough panels or words in most comics! Yeah, I'm not really in favour of decompression.

October 1, 2011 6:02 am I haven't read every post so someone may have suggested this, but I keep thinking about what comic books look like to someone who's never been interested in one before. Then I realised I'd really like to see that. Is it daft of me to wonder what this reboot had looked like to that potential mythical new reader out there through a reality tv series? I'm thinking Revision 3, a title of LCS . . .

September 24, 2011 11:13 pm Comic Book Resources did this one a while back but it's still a pretty interesting piece of history. Johns also wrote another letter suggesting that Professor Zoom return from the dead, and we know how that turned out. Anyone interested in pieces of comic book history should check out Brian Cronin's excellent comic book legends revealed pages at CBR!

September 19, 2011 8:21 pm As this month of new #1s draws a little closer to the end, I realise, with heavy heart, we have only several more weeks of ratings. "Uh, Josh, we're in the ratings segment now." Alas.
