And your statement is still false. You stated the new wally didn't sell comics. That's false. You have no proof indicating new wally didn't sale comics because new wally never had a comic, period. Now you can play mental gymnastics and ASSUME it wouldn't sell, but your original statement is not true. It's that simple.
And once again false. Before the legacy heroes took over, primarily from the late 2000's, that's when minority heroes didn't sell, reaching to cancellation levels very quickly.There's always some reason why pushing aside classic characters and replacing them with minorities never sells, isn't it? Usually the writer gets the blame. I'm surprised anyone ever agrees to write these comics. It's a good way to kill your career. The people who demand this don't appreciate your efforts, even though they're the ones who don't back up what they say by buying the comic.
Now Marvel has plenty of heroes that do sell enough to maintain their own series, from Miles Morales, to Thor, to Iron Heart, to Totally Awesome Hulk, they've all been selling. But of course, that goes against your narrative so.
You can put enough excuses to block the sun to put the blame on replacement heroes if you want, the point still stand that the Green Lantern dynasty, (and comics as a whole) is not selling well. So to try and single out like the issue lies specifically with Baz and Cruz is a false association.Hal is selling at his historic low, and I've gone into great detail about why that's happening. Meanwhile, I'm sure DC is offering the comics shops free returns on unsold copies of Green Lanterns. Baz and Cruz haven't helped sell Justice League either, have they? What a sweet gig they had -- their own comic and Justice League membership! But DC of course will get the blame for "not doing enough" to push them.
Um, yes you did.No, I didn't "make up" one bit of that.
New Wally didn't sell comics? False. New Wally never had a comic, as such never had to opportunity to show if he could sell or not.
Earth 2 didn't sell? False. Earth 2 sold well until World's End. From there, sales started dwindling, which means the sale drop must be associated
with what happened from World's End forward, not Earth 2 itself.
Baz and Cruz not selling? False, seeing as they are still above the cancellation location, and Hal comics are also not selling, it's pretty obvious the fault doesn't lie with Baz and Cruz.
And once again false, DC, like Marvel, is steadily dwindling in sales. They are near New 52 levels back which means, the rebirth didn't do squat besides providing a temporary boost in sales, which is exactly what I said it was going to do. The fact that they rebooted New 52 was because it was low in sales, so if Rebirth is getting to New 52 levels, what do you think they're going to do?DC is not collapsing. It's doing OK. The formerly dominant Marvel is collapsing. And anyone who states plain facts about that gets crucified. It's just wacko.

In the end, the direct market will crash. It's unavoidable, the combination of reliance on strictly classic readers while not able to attract in new readers will essentially be the death of the comic book market.
