Archer and Armstrong vs. the World
|
I hate "events" because it seems to me an excuse to make me buy 20 comic books I normally don't read just to get the "whole" story. I should be getting the whole story in the series I'm reading, I shouldn't have to go buy ever Batman book to understand what is going on.

I like how the most exciting comics news I've heard is that Marvel is relaunching The Punisher and its being written by Greg Rucka of Gotham Central fame.
I mean, in the realm of "getting excited about new projects from favorite writers", if DC is going to hire Brian Azzarello...why not have him write a Batman comic? Why is he writing Wonder Woman? And why is Brian Clevinger not being given his "what if this character and that character were roommates" comic book series?

Geoff Johns just has this weird thing with Alan Moore.

Both the Fans and the Writers

I really don't get why DC and Marvel Aren't just producing one-shots featuring their characters anymore. You know, just bring in writers to do up original self-contained Spider-man/Batman/Superman stories that anybody could pick up and read. Kinda like movies or TV shows or video games don't have shit t do with continuityIgnoring Marvel's shit in comics.,..... Oh wait, Jack-ass nerds, that's why

Just to add salt to the conversation
Ongoing series starring Batman from New Earth Detective Comics #27-current (May 1939 – present) plus 12 Annuals Batman (Spring 1940 – present) plus 26 Annuals Superman/Batman (August 2003 – present) plus 5 Annuals Batman and Robin (June 2009 – present) Batman: The Dark Knight (December 2010 – present) Batman, Inc. (November 2010 – present) Can anyone tell me why do we actually need So many Titles starring batman? They all happen in the same World/Time Line and any big events to goes off in one has to reflect in all the others... so why the hell do i need all these Batman comics if they are all the same? I know the "business" answer, to have more books on the shelf at the same time with varying prices, fragmented. Instead of one big book, with different writers and Artists and multiple smaller story arcs so DC can "dynamically" change what is needed and give focus to what works best (sells more) without harming the overall brand... But even that is kinda stupid... somehow. Now these "huge" events are pretty much a Anual thing, and are turning into an Anal thing. Maybe the current model of Comic Book writing and delivery simply doesn't work anymore... |

In unfairness to Johns, he's done lots of shitty retcons of the work of other, better writers who weren't Alan Moore, as well.
Shitting on the work of Marv Wolfman or Mark Waid or Peter David just doesn't get people's attention like it does when you shit on Moore.
