In response to "How hard would it be for me to find Dan Dido so I can punch him in the face?" by Spawn

You're not alone. I feel a pit in my stomach like a pet died or something.

I'm trying to look on the bright side. All the money I'm going to save and extra time I'll have. But if ever DC wanted to create a "drop this book" point for readers, they've done a great job. Their sales are going to plummet.

maybe they can finally just make Robin gay and get over with it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:11 4
- Batwoman is gay. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:14 3
  - Has her series even shipped?. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:28 2
    - It looks like it was done by my friend Stu, which is not my thing at all, so I have no idea. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:30 1
      - If these trends continue, ayyyyy! -- nm - David Jun 2, 09:31
I plan on re-assessing everything when the September Previews hits. But I expect to pick up - TWuG Jun 2, 09:08 6
- If this is an attempt to clean up continuity, it'll last 6 months before some bozo writer digs up an old story that shouldn't exist. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:11 5
  - Are you under the impression that they are chucking everything? I'm not. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:18 3
    - That's worse that adhering strictly to continuity. Because now you have to remember some stuff but forget other stuff. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:28
    - Reboot means restart. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:20 1
      - ... so I guess it all depends on what they are going to make that mean. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:21
  - Exactly. No crippled Oracle, no dead Robins... -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:18
Thanks. It is kinda odd that JMS was how I heard. What they did to his Spider-Man deleted those books from my universe. - Spawn Jun 2, 09:05 20
- Anything that results in JMS's stuff being deleted from continuity is a solid plus in my book. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:10 8
  - Jim Lee's new Justice League cover still has Wonder Woman wearing pants. I'm concerned. -- nm - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:12 7
    - Jim Lee shouldn't be allowed to design costumes. Ever. -- nm - TWuG Jun 2, 09:15 2
      - Didn't he do the Catwoman redesign? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:31 1
        
        Every squirrel. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:32
    - The collars thing is just stupid. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:13 3
      - on some costumes it works and others it looks awful -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 09:16 2
        
        They should jsut go ahead an out an "X" (or I guess a "J") on all their costumes and get it over with. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:17 1
        
        - "o" + "p" -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:17
- His being so dismissive makes me sick. The whole "Oh, it doesn't matter what happens to characters right now..." - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:10 10
  - Here's the thing, though: Comics are not growing in popularity. Not because of bad story telling, but because there's a wall - TWuG Jun 2, 09:14 8
    - It ain't the wall of continuity for me...it's the fact there's not 1 book for a character; there's 6. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:17 3
      - Yeah, that's very true. Not to mention that when they do "special events", there are a zillion books involved. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 2, 09:18 2
        
        If anything, I'm the anti-Twug...I like knowing that the characters have been around and are consistently story'ied. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:20 1
        
        The characters have *never* been consistently storied. Ever. - TWuG Jun 2, 09:26
    - I don't think that 100 million exists any more. Going day-and-date digital is a genius approach to will make it more marketable and accessible. - Mop (202 lbs) Jun 2, 09:17
    - An audience of 100 million? - Spawn Jun 2, 09:15 2
      - Sure. I'm guessing there are that many who have an interest in Batman alone. If they can get an issue on their tablet, phone or computer for a small - TWuG Jun 2, 09:22
      - dude is delusional -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:20
  - Good point. Even if you are going to read in September, why throw away your money now? - Spawn Jun 2, 09:13
