I'm enjoying it a bunch...

I do think that he glossed over the main reason for the title: They can't call it Vibe, because that's already trademarked by Vibe Magazine.

So you're saying that the current DC method of launching almost everything as an "ongoing" and then cutting it short if sales drop is actually better for both them and the market than a mini would be.

Change is certainly possible if not likely - but I wouldn't pay much attention to the prognostications of a blogger who thinks Marvel is leaving DC in the dust on the digital side when their pricing...

The problem is that not enough people have been. And the proportion of comics fans on message boards and Twiter that complain about these cancellations is much higher than the proportion that...

I'm not so much disappointed with DC as I am with the market.

DC kept many of these books going for one to two years but the same fans who cry for variety didn't buy them. They do buy Detective,...

Cary Bates brought me in to the Legion, so I'd be up for another Bates run. Just a pity Dave Cockrum's no longer around to draw it, but I'd take Mike Grell if I could...

I was not fond of Waid's...

It's not about being a free marketing department, it's about understanding that good books only survive if people buy them.

You do understand that the way to save great fringe books is to get more people to buy them, and dropping the publisher has exactly the opposite effect because that means one fewer person to buy the...

(emphasis mine)

The variety you say most folks wants consists primarily of characters with vocal online fanbases who don't buy the books. Barbara Gordon sells better than either Cass or Steph did...

I always get nervous when I hear people talking about getting their "original DC Universe" back, because the New 52 is closer to the DC Universe I first grew to love than what we had fro the...

Well, it sucks that two of the three we learned about today are books I was buying, but I can't blame DC for cancelling books that people aren't buying.

If anyone's to blame it's those fans who...

Batman is more than a character, he's a cultural institution.

My first exposure wasn't to the comic, or even to the TV show, it was hearing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" sung in the playground in...

The thing with shared universes is that they're fiendishly difficult to pull off when dealing with more than one company's characters.

One reason Superman and Batman didn't appear to be in the...

What I take from this is that I can't judge anything based on the OP's opinion.

I think Earth 2 is brilliant, and the kindest way I can describe Dark Knight is "superfluous Batbook is superfluous."

No. I can't and won't convince you not to drop any book. It's not my place.

Having said that, I'm really enjoying World's Finest and count it as one of my favorite books every month, so the idea...

And then what? that's the real question.

For all the complaints on the internet, the New 52 is far more successful in real dollars than the incarnation of the DCU it replaced. There are certainly...

The thing is that Marston's WW was built around implicitly sexual themes in a way that neither Superman nor Batman was, and yet while they've been allowed to have relationships and be seen as sexual...

I don't think you even have to worry about not saying the name Barry. As far as most non-comics people are concerned he's just "the Flash," and whoever's under the mask is irrelevant....

I think you are focusing too much on appearances. The visual redefinitions help set the Olympians in today's world, which lets Azzarello work with them in a way that wasn't really possible with the...

Yep, if anything "radical reboot" is an understatement.

I have both Marston and Perez's Wonder Woman #1 issues on ComiXology, and just reread them - the two characters are about as close as Alan...

You may not think it was radical, but it had a number of major changes from Marston's original.

The origin of the Amazons completely changed to make them the reincarnations of murder victims....

John more than Wally. As far as non-comics people are concerned Barry and Wally are the same guy. Red suit, runs fast, called Flash. That's one reason why Wally went away... one guy's easier to...

I bought the Perez WW books when they came out, but I like what Azz is doing, too. Besides, Perez's version of WW was a complete reboot, too. (In fact, it was more of a reboot than the current book,...

I'm ignoring continuity issues myself.

Good news is that the art looks so much better... and it needed to. Last issue's art (which may have been rushed) was almost at the "drop the book, do not...

My own guess, and hope, is that he's Captain Thunder.

That was the name Fawcett originally wanted to use for the Big Red Cheese and I think it works infinitely better than "Shazam." I'd be...
