My summer is going to be spent re-reading old DC trades and discovering old Marvel ones.<br /><br />I just read this review on Amazon that posits that creativity at DC and Marvel died in 1991/2 and it's been one long gimmick-ridden cash grab ever since. Never quite thought about it that way, but 70% of what I enjoy was written in the 80's and earlier.LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-11145625187823672432014-07-15T01:53:46.188-05:002014-07-15T01:53:46.188-05:00I do not appreciate this story very much, especial...I do not appreciate this story very much, especially as the quasi-second half of John Jones' not-so-great origin, but I'll take it over the numbingly bleak spectacle of current DC publishing.

Even if it did end up in a silly situation, at least this was somewhat relatable. Ahh, what do I know. These n52 kids want something else. <br /><br />I'm overdue for re-reading Showcase Presents.
