I don’t disagree that a lighter tone was needed. Audiences obviously were not responding well to uninterrupted dark and gritty superhero films. Flash, as the only non-warrior or cyborg character...

Here is what went wrong: People do not enjoy Zack Snyder’s vision for these heroes.

I’ve been reading comics since I was old enough to read. DC is my go to. No offense to those of you who liked...

You won't recapture the glories of the past by going back to the old ways. Cheaper paper, news stands, floppies, none of these will work. Someone spoke of the industry contracting. It's been...

I get that. If sales numbers are too low on a title, why invest in it? Prices are too high and readers have to be selective in what they purchase. On the other hand, the sales numbers is good info,...

The point, I think, is that change is coming to the industry, whether it wants it or not. It has shackled itself to the corpse of an obsolete business model and were it not for the deep pockets and...

Foood for thought on the current state of the industry. Article echoes many of my thoughts.

Superheroes Are Big Business, But Can Comic Books Themselves Be Saved? - Movie Pilot...

I dunno that going with HC deluxe editions is the way to go. Comics are already expensive. Making them more so would only appeal to a small piece of an already niche market. Sometimes I just want to...

A great point about the disappearance of the LCS. The last one in my area closed down two years ago. As a consequence, I've gone all digital and mostly for collections (about which, I must say,...

I could be wrong and it does turn out to be something we have seen before, Elseworlds or 80-page Giant or whatever. The scant details Snyder doled out included a non-monthly release schedule, a new...

I saw this bit with Scott Snyder. He remains coy about the details, but the door could be open for the end of the monthly format, a model which has long outlived its usefulness. If so, great for D.C....

Alien: Covenant. Massive disappointment. One of the few times I've left a theater mad at a movie.

You see so many attempts at reforming villains because redemption can be a powerful story arc, one you can't really do with most heroes. The amount of redemption needed will vary from villain to...

Secret Six by a country mile. That first run by Simone is a classic.

I'm not sure. As with comics, anything is possible, but I think what Watchmen/TDKR brought more than anything was a kind of realism to mainstream comics. With superheroes, you can only push realism...

On a positive note, the fate of Broot did surprise and was well done. The ending was also bold to show there was to be no peace in the Vega system despite the victory of the Omega Men. The series had...

And that may have been one of my larger issues. While I did not know much about the Omega Men, I've been reading Kyle Rayner for a lot of years. He just seemed so passive until near the end, and...

If I might ask, what did you find so compelling? I am genuinely curious. Maybe if I can gain some insight from someone who really liked it, it may change my perception.

So, after hearing this series was so critically acclaimed and it had a minor, if vocal fan base, and because it featured Kyle Rayner, and was written by rising star Tom King, I broke down and bought...

If you want to talk about comic book versions of Joker, we'll be here all day. He's morphed more than probably any single character in comics. Seventy-five years of stories is bound to give you...

Many of these characters have different interpretations for different times. We have Keaton Batman, Bale Batman, Affleck Batman, animated Batman, different Supermen and different Alfreds and so it is...

As with most comics, it depends on the era you want to focus on.

Alan: Mentor. He's old school right and wrong, not much in the moral grey area. if we are talking about JSA Alan. Earth-2 Alan was...
