odessasteps Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Poor Dan. The popularity of Reprints are pointing out what lots of his readers prefer to the current books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 How popular are reprints? DC wanting to fix their timeline isn't shocking. Whether or not they actually fix it successfully just seems very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 This is apparently a quote from DC panel from SD Quote We do these Facsimile Editions where we reprint older issues of comics including all the old ads and stuff…and in some cases these are selling more than the new comics with these characters. People are more interested in buying the stories from 30 or 40 years ago than the contemporary stories, and that’s a failure on us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 maybe, and this is just a shot in the dark, but maybe don't ignore fan favorite characters, then bring them back only to pull a character assassination on them? too radical? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 As to not completely crap on current books, Jimmy Olsen #1 is as good as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The irony in Dan "Gonna bring all the Silver Age iterations back to prominance!" DiDio complaining that folks prefer nostalgia to moving forward is...pronounced. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm not saying DC knows how to get my money, but Absolute Fourth World is a pretty good way to do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 816 pages!?! Damn, I think that might be the biggest Absolute ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah the DC collections this month were just all around great looking. I'm also pumped more non-Kirby Fourth World is getting collected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Honestly the most upsetting thing about the new Legion series is that it's almost definitely going to ignore the great Electric Warriors because it was only read by me and four other people.

Matt D Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 It's not the world's best comic but Justice League Odyssey's been pretty good. It had time to breathe, to build, and it's hitting a fairly satisfying payoff, just for putting the work and effort into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 There have been so many misstepswith this Legion relaunch that I'm contemplating skipping it altogether (my worst fear is that after 2 years Bendis will try to redo TGDS and that's been tried) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just now, J.H. said: There have been so many misstepswith this Legion relaunch that I'm contemplating skipping it altogether (my worst fear is that after 2 years Bendis will try to redo TGDS and that's been tried) James That's an odd statement for something where not a single page of actual comic has been released yet and very little actual detailed information has been released. It's all been very general conceptual thoughts on what Bendis is trying to do (1. Make it hopeful. 2. Make it a "take-all-the-best-bits-possible" version. 3. Build it through Millennium). I can't even begin to figure out what you'd think is a misstep so far. Not because I disagree whether it's a misstep or not, just because there's literally nothing to judge so far except for character designs and that very broad ethos.

Eivion Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They need to learn to say no to stupid ideas more. That might actually kill King's entire run for me, and I've generally liked what I've read so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Currently re-reading Mr Miracle and Forever People looking for a panel that's been burned into my brain for 20 years but may not actually exist, an overhead shot of Parademons marching thru the streets of Armaghetto with a caption explaining that without the Equation, Apokolips runs on a counterfeit Anti-Life fueled by propaganda.
