I agree about Comixology Unlimited. I thought it was a chance to really discover comics beyond the Big Two, but it is fairly limited despite the title.

Absolutely! It can be tough to be six months out, but I have read so much more than I ever would have without it. I use comic book herald to help with the order. I am through all of the Secret...
Like it I had a big hiatus from comics. My whole collection from the 80s got pitched in a move while I was away.
For the first six months of the New 52 I got hard copies and the cost was...
I am one of those that was lured back to comics after a 20+ year hiatus when the New 52 came out. My previous self actually collected Marvel comics, so this was really a new undertaking for me. ...
Good point. I am a sucker for reasonable and consistent power levels for comic book characters. I don't mind some growth or varied levels, but it gets too much for me at times.
Time travel
Overpowered characters
Future type stories that see our characters x years from now
Cameos with little hearing on the book, if you want a guest star, then let them be a major part...
Does DC have an issue with magic? Is it based on the sales of a certain type of magic they were presenting?
That makes sense. What I am more perplexed with is Johns role (apparently not too passive) in the New 52, or how I have read that he had to change his ending to Forever Evil. Since I have been back...
I don't think I initially considered that his new role was a step up. What you said makes sense, I just saw it like a lateral move and not the grand scope, not to mention the majors financial...
Full disclosure, Geoff Johns isn’t my favorite writer. As I may have noted in another thread, I don’t know that it comes down to the all the stories he produces; perhaps it is more of feeling that...
Thanks for the replies. It has been interesting and enlightening. I think I probably viewed it as leading to an impact earlier, but I do like the idea of it playing a future role.
Ms. Martian
White Lantern (Kyle Rayner)
Robins in general until they cease to be Robins, as I really like Nightwing .
Billy Batson, but Shazam is a favorite of mine
(Apparently I don't care for kids as my superhero).
Much of Batman's...
Preface by saying I enjoyed Multiversity, but I didn't go in as Grant Morrison fan. I was out of comics during his rise and came back when he was involved but not books I was reading. That said, i...
Thanks for the insight. As for the quote able, I totally agree. I went all digital and accept that I have no re-sale value for those books and I would really like to see a consistent price drop.
I have no insight to offer, but I find them post interesting and I am curious as well.
What causes an editorial team to "push" a particular character on a team?
I fall under this....Disney would fold without that trope.
I like your international roster idea. I am in the US, but would love something that is primarily around another country.
This is pretty much me. Six issues in I converted to all digital. Only problem is I end up being two months or more behind everyone else.
Not sure I thought about it before, but as a parent, it gets a little old how they keep killing one or both of us off. There has to be alternatives to becoming a hero beyond losing ones closest...
I like this.
Shazam
Firestorm
Captain Atom
I would be fine with a presents/showcase type book that gave an arc for different heroes that don't have solo titles.
Off topic again...or is it sort of on? Any rate, I was a Marvel fan originally. I came back to comics because of the new 52 so I did not have any connection to the prior universe. As a result...
I was curious about some of the better team vs team battles. I am thinking more good vs good, but any apply.
Thanks in advance!
Ravagers, Talon, and Captain Atom in the New 52 were good books.
Firestorm had potential (though was a fresh take), but they kept changing direction.
