August 30, 2011 10:02 pm A couple of things... 1.) I miss spinners in the gas stations and grocery stores. If comics publishers are going to make distribution deals that limit access to comics they should provide an alternative. The comics industry has made themselves a niche market. A kid can find a Playboy quicker than he can find an issue of Superman, I mean what the heck is that about? Is it really a mystery why comic books don't sell more? THEY MADE THEM FREAKING HARD TO FIND!!! It's like the entire industry thought it would be a good idea to hide the products from customers, then they whine when sales numbers go down. If I had to go to a comic book shop when I was a kid to get my comics fix I would never have gotten my comics fix. I found my comics at Walgreens, Krogers, Stop N' Go, etc... 2.) Many story-lines are to involved. I've been reading Green Lantern for over a year now and I still don't know what all is going on. I always loved Green Lantern as a kid, but I have no idea what all these new colored rings are about. I know there are trades I can buy (I have a few) but I shouldn't have to spend a couple hundred dollars to understand what is going on. I also shouldn't have to buy three or four monthly titles to understand the ongoing story. I will not do that. It's cheap marketing bull-crap. I dropped Green Lantern. If a relaunch helps DC simplify the stories and get back to the basics then I say do it. This has the ability to bring what Marvel did with Ultimate Spiderman to the entire DCU. I picked up The Flash when it started over and was thrilled with the book. It was fun, it was a good read, great art, everything you could want in a comic. If they can do that with Superman and Aquaman I'm totally in. Heck I hope they do that to Green Lantern as well, please for the love of God make it fun and easy to follow again.
