Some of the boards

Just curious... given the lack of posting, and the fact that DC appears to be bound and determined to destroy Wildstorm, should CBR look at combining the Vertigo and Wildstorm forums? I notice a lot of posters asking about and discussing titles that cross between the two publishing lines, and it might encourage more discussion, especially when people are talking about Alan Moore, etc.

I'd mention that the Hulk forum seems unnecessary, but there was a big stink about it earlier, so...

It has been discussed by the Forum Staff several times.

I think a combining of the Vertigo/Wildstorm forums may be in order.

WOOHOO! I love living under a benevolent dictatorship!

Seriously though, I think that it would make more sense in terms of encouraging discussion.

So are we going to call it DC Imprints so we can talk about Minx there too?

Great idea! Let's make it happen. Matt, would you like to do the honors?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! With a SUBFORUM for Minx, right? One that's not connected directly to either Wildstorm and certainly not Vertigo?

I realize that Minx is likely read by older readers, but it is geared towards TEENAGE girls, and the cross-over with Vertigo's mature content seems very strange.

The Forum staff has discussed this. And Jonah feels, for the most part, that CBR is an "adult" site. Meaning the people who mostly come here to discuss comics are 18 and up so having Minx with more mature readings such as Vertigo is fine.

Stony can handle the jailbait.

Yes! I get to push the big red button!

... DC appears to be bound and determined to destroy Wildstorm...

Now what have they done?

[stealthwise]

Now what have they done?

Did you see the sales figures for the last "relaunch"?

Did you see the promotions for it?

I'm guessing no for either, and DC's to fault for both, with the latter informing the former. Also for trusting Jim Lee to turn in a book on time.

The relaunch consisted of... what, two books that Grant Morrison can't be bothered to finish? How is that DC's fault?

No, it was...

WildCATS
The Authority
Midnighter
Deathblow
Gen 13

and a few other books I can't be arsed to remember, mostly because they were treated like afterthoughts in favour of crap like Countdown and 52 spinoffs that also sold terribly.

New Question: Does Image Comics still need its own board, or should it just be tossed in with the other Independents? I still don't get why it has one and, say, Dark Horse or Oni don't.
