He's just launched <i>Sheriff of Babylon</i> at Vertigo. But I'm beginning to suspect that his <i>Omega Men</i> will be the one people will most be talking about years from now.

Largely in agreement here,...Good to have you back!<br /><br />Largely in agreement here, too ...<br /><br />DC's New 52 switched me off DC inside of 5 months and I've not yet been tempted back, apart from Multiversity (Grant Morrison gets a free pass from me).<br /><br />At Marvel, Waid's Daredevil has been a joy, as has the recent female Thor run which has featured some breathtaking artwork. But the whole Secret Wars thing was of no interest primarily because Hickman's characterization has alway felt like an afterthought to me. However, "All-new" Marvel threatens to give me my biggest monthly haul in a very long time, lots of promise and some good jumping-on points ... looking forward to it, even if my wallet isn't!KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-67170057653506980482015-06-15T15:53:34.877-05:002015-06-15T15:53:34.877-05:00Don't forget Star Wars and Darth Vader!

The Maelstrom arc (and whole series if you ask me) has been one hell of a ride. <br />Just like you, I'm not sure the new issues will take the story further. Judging from previews from #41 it looks like some sort of reboot inside a reboot (?). Whilst it looks promising I can't help but to be pissed when thinking they won't follow this continuity... #41 (and I guess most Divergence titles) seems to drastically be heading towards the Futures End storyarc rather than continuing with the previous issues. Which I'm not sure I like... <br />The 40 issues so far have managed to leave more than one loose end to assure continuity in future issues by other writers (I'm aware the "rise of the seven seas" arc will be a JL one, that Chimera and Atlanna's open endings do not necesseralilly mean they have to appear again, but it all feels too important to just leave it out not only from the main series but also from the series at all).<br /><br />Do you have any clue on what this is all heading to?

It is DC's problem in that they should give consumers stories they enjoy, and its telling so many fans like the older versions of the characters. However, DC wants to be more "modern" and try new things, which means they can't make all the fans of the older characters happy too. What is the solution? There isn't really one, or someone would be rich off of sharing it.David Charles Bitterbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00112993605550278929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-33514692646867842572015-04-08T10:52:33.783-05:002015-04-08T10:52:33.783-05:00Oof.

If you don't bother to have continuity, you're throwing away the one advantage that comics have over other media. Writers who don't care about continuity and a shared universe are in the wrong business. <br />Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064767131161875941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-23405289190106035362015-02-06T09:50:18.342-06:002015-02-06T09:50:18.342-06:00This probably won't work any better than if th...This probably won't work any better than if they pandered to 40-year-old fanboys. As much as people like to talk about how diverse the comic audience is (and it is, truly) it's still very tiny. So if you try to pander to a tiny segment of a tiny audience, you are talking about content that is directed at 2,500 people. (Which would be about 5% of the sales of a good-selling book.)<br /><br />I don't see how that's any more sustainable than the old method.Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064767131161875941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5314000980489875634.post-5035878371402963742014-12-28T20:41:37.991-06:002014-12-28T20:41:37.991-06:00Agree with Dan on this one.
