I already know how long it has been since I last posted and I feel much shame so let's move ahead, shall we? There are big things happening at DC, so big I cannot even get it all out on this page. Even though there is infinite amounts of space in web-land, there still wouldn't be enough to write down how stupid I think the whole re-set thing is. It didn't work for Marvel, and it sure as hell won't work for DC. Why not, you may be asking, all wide-eyed and innocent and boy, am I glad you asked.
DC has exhausted each and every one of us comic fans. Blackest Night was a lot to get through and the follow up, Brightest Day, was/is no better. There was/is just too much going on across too many titles that many people, myself included, just gave up and said they'd wait for the trade. Having said that, the trades that we have been waiting for have not come forward as yet, simply because the story lines have not ended. And now they want to erase all of that? For shame.
Details are sketchy and wrought with my personal disdain for the whole situation. Good luck trying to get the real story out of DC though; everything I have read so far has been heavily censored and geared to making things sound shiny and bright. Characters have been redone, some to the chagrin of the creators, and stories will be modified to ensure that everything stays squeaky clean.
What is happening to my beloved medium?
