I don't think that bringing back the "old" universe is a step back. If you wanted to go that argument then you could say that another company wide reboot by DC with Flash Point was a step back to...

I am a firm believer in the old adage of you can't go home again, but the point in my argument was that James Robinson seems to have a more firm grasp and LOVE of these Golden Age characters than...

Hi,

I know that from time to time B. Clay Moore and Tony Harris are out here on these boards, so perhaps they could answer a question that I have regarding the last issue of JSA Liberty Files:...

Um, yes, in the context of DC's Golden Age characters and how they have been handled over the years.

Robinson wrote one of the best series in the comic book medium, Starman. His Golden Age...

Although I am not at all a fan of the new DC, I am a fan of James Robinson. He is the man responsible for some of my favorite comic book memories. He also - along with David Goyer - successfully...

This thread has taken a decidedly unfriendly turn...Many of the posts smack of ageism. One of my heroes, Rod Serling, experienced the same issues great writers like Roy Thomas and Marv Wolfman face...

Roy Thomas? John Ostrander? James Robinson? Marv Wolfman? Are you really serious with this post?

I miss that sensation, too. E-Bay just makes it too easy to put together a run of a title, in my humble opinion.

I recall that Roy Thomas included a character checklist in the back of his four...

You echo how I feel...It seems easier to be negative than positive, doesn't it? This is why I wanted to discuss this topic. We all have our own Golden Age of comics. I really wanted to capture the...

A little stroll down nostalgia lane on this fine Saturday afternoon: When were you the happiest with DC's line of books, and what memories does this conjure up for you?

For me? Well, that's an...

How about the return of the pre-Flaspoint DC Universe and a seperate line of books for all of the New 52 stuff? Everyone's a winner!

While I am not currently following any DC titles, and not to play devil's advocate, but shouldn't you really wait until you see what Robinson comes up with before you dismiss this storyline?

All Star Squadron issues 19-20 remain some of the most powerful storytelling featuring the Golden age characters. Ordway had his coming out party with these two amazing issues, both drawing and...

I want a world that (largely) restores the long history of the Justice Society of America.

Not a Roy Thomas/original JSA fan, I presume? I think that is a "fail", as you so eloquently put it, in your opinion. To each his own.

A second Earth Two book? Easy as pie...I'd stick on Roy and Dann Thomas for the writing chores with Jerry Ordway and Mike Machlan for the art and set it during World War Two, picking up where Young...

You know what the fascination is for me? It's that Marvel brilliantly brought back a character that by all rights should have remained dead. Brubaker did this with panache and beautifully...

This is a true shame. I was already worried about the title when Brubaker announced his departure from Marvel. Although Ed Brubaker did not create Bucky Barnes, he is certainly responsible for...

I second Ostrander and Mandrake's masterful run on Spectre getting the deluxe hardcover treatment. Ditto Cancelled Comics Cavalcade.

Here are a couple of others:

1.) The completion of Roy and...

I'll agree with you that sales had dropped significantly on such books as JSA and JSA All Stars prior to DC's reboot. But that was more of an issue, I believe, of a writer and his direction with the...

I don't think I would refer to DC's history as "useless." Yes, there were ALWAYS problems with their continuity, certainly after Crisis On Infinite Earths. But useless? Not in this reader's opinion....

Hi,

I have to respectfully disagree with your sentiments on legacy characters. I understand what you're getting at, but while you profess an unwillingness to see characters in comics age, I for...

LOL! Sadly, you are correct on this. DC may have done what it felt it needed to in order to survive in the long run. It's my opinion though that they threw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater....

How then do you explain one of the best written comic books of the 1990s, James Robinson's Starman? Starman excelled because of a long continuity, not in spite of it. I'm just saying...Continuity...

Wow, I had a ton of options comic book wise in the summer of 1982...Charlton Comics was still floating around, Gold Key (which by '82 had morphed into Whitman, I believe), Archie Comics, Marvel, not...
