This is it in a nutshell. The problem was that they were too prepared? It's the flimsiest thing. Most Marvel events at least have a solid premise and a pretty solid first issue. The only thing more...

There was a line in the comic that the "darkening" was taking place even before Flashpoint. I pinned a lot of the reasons I didn't like Marvel in 2001-2004 or so on Frank Miller/Alan Moore,...

That was my one problem with the issue. Geoff didn't seem to want to point the finger at himself as well. He's someone who gave us so many great ideas and reclaimed concepts and brought them into the...

That's some pro wrestling booking right there. Tease the fans into thinking they're getting something they are emotionally invested in, then swerve it away and try to put heat on the bad guy so...

I was 12-13 in 1994 and I was horrified by the idea. I was in a club in Junior High on Prodigy called X-Clusive where you had to pass a trivia quiz to get in. This was an unbreakable text of my...

I find the "genre" argument more compelling than the mythological one, to be honest. Ant Man was a heist movie. Guardians was comedic space opera. Dr. Strange will be horror-tinged, etc.

At first glance, it could be the Dini stuff just from who's there and some of the art style, but the sword/shield that Diana has seems to differentiate it.

Sure looks it. And Kong and an old Spidey bully from Untold Tales and I'm pretty sure there's a member of Code: Blue in there (not sure how that works). Really fun use of the Marvel canon where they...

I'd read a Dennis Hopeless Wasp comic.

Just to clarify, is Chaykin associated with the new show at all?

Waid: "We've no intention of going "dark" or serving an adults-only audience. That's cheap, that's easy, and anyone can do it. Literally, any chimpanzee with a keyboard can write, "Issue One, Page...

Its' a lot of comics. There are some I'm absolutely looking forward to. I'm a big Fabian Niceza fan and to see him on Teen Titans is great. I'm looking forward to the Simone Dick/Babs one. There are...

Plenty,

and they had a right to be, so long as they didn't attack the fans that weren't. Just like how the fans who were excited about Wally as the Flash had every right to be excited so long as...

I'm not sure anything necessarily "deserves" anything else. If you're enjoying it, great. I'm glad for you. It's not going anywhere. I don't think there's necessarily a moral argument either way....

That's fair enough. I wouldn't know that at all from the end product (though I would know a lot of what I mentioned from Crisis by reading those comics). Do you think it worked? The big problem with...

I think saying "It's just the way DC does things" is a little disingenuous too. They've basically done it on a wide scale twice in 50 years. Yes, one character will change now and again, or maybe a...

That the old universe ended so abruptly and that the new one was such an editorial mess (which they've gotten far more under control in the last year or two it seems) was an issue and showed how...

I think the most impressive thing to me as a brand that DC has ever accomplished is the level that they've schismed their audience. For years it was basically just the Legion of Super-Heroes fans...

I think that if Didio thinks the problem with the New 52 relative to Crisis or Zero Hour is mainly one of "not getting proper closure," he's going to be sorely disappointed. That just shows a severe...

First off, I'm okay with this. Let them do what they want so long as the story's good. Different medium, different stories, etc, but the idea Iris wasn't developed is nuts. She was just developed by...

I'm getting a weird How I Met My Robot vibe from this.

Great talk. Ron Marz was one of the most important comic writers of my youth. I give James Robinson credit for me loving old movies, but I give Ron Marz credit for my enjoyment of old sci fi pulps.

I'm pretty excited for this book. Greg Rucka is one of the most thoughtful writers in comics when it comes to fleshing out and developing characters and he's going to be bringing in elements of his...

I've really enjoyed what Nick Lowe did with the X-Books over the years and I think this was a great first edition of this feature. I'd probably like to see Peter using some more of Otto's tricks and...
