I think it's a top down corruption at DC, and yeah, some of the creators who thrive in that environment are sleazy hacks. However, I think the majority of editors and talent do know and love those characters, and are doing their best to shield and support these concepts from wholesale prostitution by DC/Warners.<br /><br />I think DC could have managed without a reboot, but if they were set on going that route, it should have been far bolder and better thought out. Andrew Leiland made the smart proposal of cancelling all but six titles for a year, and then putting all of your resources into building the DCU up from scratch with only their most essential characters and strongest talent. I would have bought those six comics for a year, and so would everyone else, and they would have all sold hundreds of thousands if not millions of copies. But we got the New 52 instead, and I look forward to ordering one issue of <i>Aquaman</i> and my regular <i>Sensation Comics</i> out of everything DC has to offer this month.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-20992299654273868952014-08-21T11:34:37.049-05:002014-08-21T11:34:37.049-05:00I would like to see editors, writers and artists w...I would like to see editors, writers and artists who know the characters and care about them and make them seem somewhat likable. I may be wishing for too much, Frank.<br /><br />I agree that there was a need for a reboot, as some lines had written themselves into a corner. (Superman especially.

I am not sure what DC plans for him. However, let's say that if certain people at DC retired to Tahiti, I would not mind.will_in_chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468337654400802576noreply@blogger.com
