February 28, 2012 1:36 pm I can see that DC is selling more and that they have more buzz, so I can't fault them for what they're doing, it's working. However I got 3 issues of everyone of the new 52. Then I pared down to Batman, Batwoman, GL Corpse, New Guardians& , Captain Atom. By issue 6 I was down to Batwoman, New Guardians, & Captain Atom plus I'm going to give the 'Beyond' books a shot. But I just can't justify 3.99 books, especially when I find backups are no fun during a re-read and having to shift through all my back issues. Also Action and JL are just not good enough to warrant that price tag. Before the 52 and flash point I was picking up far more DC books, more than any other publisher, and after, I can barley read any of their books. I was always in the minority though, I loved books like Welcome to Tranquility, Secret Six, REBELS, Detective, every Green Lantern book, Birds of Prey, and usually a book that would come and go. I want to want to be reading more DC, but none of the books are grabbing me now, and I feel a large part is this whole relaunch was just a marketing thing, gave creators a chance to start with a breath of fresh air, but because of a lack of overall planning (like the books poorly interweaving with each other, Batman and GL just continuing while all the other books are reset causing a whole pile of confusion, the purple lady all but being forgotten now, creative teams leaving and rejoining left and right, Leifeild getting too many books, and so on) I think it's going to be awhile before I can jump on with DC again.

January 31, 2012 6:36 pm This was a great! I think I read every current Wacker book, so hearing from the mind behind all the ties of pretty much everything I love at Marvel right now is great. Then Pako's interview was just a trip to hear all the history and older side of some of the comics and shows that I loved as a kid.

January 5, 2012 3:40 pm 8 panels is not too many. 9 is not too many, 9 panels become 'the grid' and if you're not using that as a basline or an idea of pacing in comics, then it's time to consider it. It's perfect for horror or comedy where you have 3, 3 panel strips ontop of each other, allowing each 'strip' to be a moment it's own.

January 11, 2011 1:37 pm A lot of this is fair, but there are some books that are supposed to be bi-monthly. Then especially with indy comics if nobody buys the flopies then it will never be a trade. Choker is a side project, and I understand your frustration, but books like that need the love.

If only there was some outlet that told us what comics would be quality before we picked them up.

 

But seriously if your going to argue that Marvel cares about us, they wouldn't let Quesada write.

OMIT did nothing but ruffle feathears and cause less people to read ASM, sure it might be more than most books, but it's still less people.
