I thought Damage's power came from a modified version of Hourman's Miraclo pill rather than the Dark Multiverse? Also the next issue had Wonder Woman imply that Damage is stronger than anyone she's ever fought, including Superman. Because another guy stronger than Superman is what DC needed.

Considering how all of these new characters are spinning out of Dark Nights Metal I assumed that Damage's powers came from the Dark Multiverse like Sideways did. Besides Damage was shown in on of the preludes to Dark Nights Metal so it fits. Sure but some feel that Damage causes people to neglect characters like Darkseid and Doomsday who are stronger than Superman.

And I'm glad to have given you the opportunity to have this conversation. And those novels of the 2000's led to an increase in writers trying to make their mark in the book industry as well as increasing the amount of adaptations of books onto the big screen. I doubt that all those mega hit books would have stopped the shift from printed media to digital content and even though there is some level of transition both forms of media continue to exist side by side. It'll probably take another mega hit book to increase the chances of printed prose novels to continue on and book stores to remain in business. Though the e-book scene is receiving a ton of interest from indie publishers. I wonder whether at some point comic book writers and artists will take to the e-book scene more and work there instead? But it's probably easier to produce an e-book than it is for an e-comic. And based on that assessment book stores could stand a chance to fall into the same danger comic shops have fallen into and it becomes financially dangerous to even own one. They could very well become antique shops if the time comes and print falls out of favour completely. Well the Comics Code Authority definitely stopped nudity but it just couldn't stop the drugs from Harry Osborn's drug addiction to Speedy's use of morphine it definitely just couldn't stop comics from becoming more expressive again. And so far DC has addressed some of those problems with their new imprints even though they will be delayed until 2019. And it seems I found some folks online praising the DC Nation as it will entice new readers.

I think print will live on, just in a small(er) niche. It'll be one of those things; you want to buy a thoughtful, romantic gift for your spouse? You buy them a physical copy of their favorite book.
I think its a largely untapped market at the moment, but once people get a handle on it I think it might get big real fast.I wonder whether at some point comic book writers and artists will take to the e-book scene more and work there instead?

Precisely; the code didn't really work by the end. And I am a very big supporter of those new imprints. Anything to expand the distribution and audience, I'll embrace. Especially when I'm not the target demographic.Well the Comics Code Authority definitely stopped nudity but it just couldn't stop the drugs from Harry Osborn's drug addiction to Speedy's use of morphine it definitely just couldn't stop comics from becoming more expressive again.

Basically, before Bendis relaunched the GOTG, Starlord, Nova, Drax and Thanos were stuck in the cancerverse after the end of a storyline called the thanos imperative. Bendis relaunched the book without answering what happened until this event called Original Sin happened, he then made a really terrible story explaining what happened and ignored a lot of continuity from the past Guardians run when asking questions about what happened in the cancerverse and also doing wert plot choices. It was definitely Bendis at his worst and one of the reasons people rag on him for his current Marvel work.
Interesting.
Sounds like a bunch of plans may have changed behind the scenes, and Bendis couldn't roll with the punches effectively, so he crumbled in this particular instance. Happens. But my follow up question is how far back was the continuity that he was contradicting established? Like was it continuity from a few years ago relative to that time, or are we talking like even further back?
