Titans was just off the rails in that era. They just kept trying to shock and create big moments over and over again, it was way too extra.

Yes, but - for me - I'm taking issue with his writing in general. The entire story was poorly crafted IMO.

The Carlin thing I've heard for years, but it still blows my mind. The JSA had just been...

You're right - it would need the best writer. But it has potential -- a conservative and liberal duo who have serious disagreements but are forced to work together for the greater good. Potentially...

Hawk & Dove is truly one of the most underrated series of that time. It was IMO the only time anyone ever "got" the characters (before or since). Dove in particular went from being portrayed as a...

I personally quite liked "white" Raven, it seemed like her character was finally allowed to move forward beyond Trigon and experience emotions for the first time. That could have been interesting but...

You'd be surprised - if you look at some of the old letter columns from the early days of Barry there are people saying they'll never accept the new guy and wanting Jay back. Ultimately they got...

They fell victim to "shock of the month" writing, probably due to a change in editorial at the time. It became about trying to top itself and introduce change after change after shocking change. It...

The only good ideas to come out of ZH IMO were the ten year sliding timeline and Jack Knight Starman. The zero issues were also a great idea and some of the crossovers were well done.

But as for...

Armageddon 2001. The annuals were really great. But changing the reveal last minute resulted in quite a mess. This was before the internet / social media, so the "leak" was not really that big of a...

Those are still all either pre Crisis or legacy characters. But I agree. If the character doesn't have a solid sense of nostalgia and history, then they're treated as disposable as soon as their...

There have been very very very few new characters (non legacy) created post Crisis that have been successful and even fewer that have had lasting success, unfortunately

I don't think anyone should bash anyone, especially a young person who has shared some mental health concerns. But on the other hand, he is an actor, it's a role, it's reasonable to critique an actor...

Wildcat's nine lives thing is totally ridiculous -- but you know what, that's okay. Comics can be ridiculous. We constantly suspend disbelief in comics, I don't know why people have such a hard time...

I proposed a few weeks back what some have said. It doesn't have to be that complicated. They fought in WWII. In 1951 they go into limbo. Maybe it's Ragnarok. Maybe it's the old "Keystone City frozen...

Sometimes, but she's a teenager and all teenagers are a little annoying lol

I hope the DC version is an adult version of her, so fully a doctor who can be the DCU super-physician, and maintain...

I just mean the super-physician aspect - which picks up on her 80s characterization anyway. Occupy the role that Pieter played in his last years as the go-to doctor in the DCU.

I like Pieter as well, but if they blended aspects of Pieter's character into Beth (who I also really liked) then I'd be happy.

This is so ridiculous considering no one has even seen the film to know if it's good or not. People are just so mean and hateful I don't really understand it sometimes

I wish DC would just Captain America them and have that be canon - They go into some kind of limbo in 1951 (maybe Ragnarok, maybe with some of their wives, whatever), come back "20 years ago"...

What's annoying and incredibly disingenuous is that if something 'woke' fails, then they claim it's because it's 'woke' - without a shred of evidence to back that up. But when something "woke" is...

Guns themselves aren't a conservative or liberal thing, there are many liberal gun owners. The debate is more about the access and control of guns. A story about that would be a better approach.

I love that a random throwaway character from a Secret Origins story (written by Gerard Jones of all people) has had such a lasting presence.

I love her. There's not a ton of mother-daughter legacies, so that aspect is interesting. Her whole evolution is really interesting - Dinah Lance was basically created by accident, but then evolved...

When did the post-Crisis Black Canary I (mother, not daughter) die and how?

Now it's hard sure, but back then it was pretty easy and the sales reflect that. In some ways it was easier because the story continued every week, versus having to wait a month.
