    Default A question about a weekly series

    I know that Dc did 52 and I enjoyed it. Didnt they do another weekly series? If they did what was the name of it? Thanks for the help.

    Well, there was Countdown/Countdown to Final Crisis, but I think a majority of people felt that was "52 done wrong".

    There have also been some Batman weekly series: Batman Eternal and Batman and Robin Eternal.

    *Trinity (Kurt Busiek and Mark Bagley) was a weekly series done after 52. Basically followed Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (hence the name). I enjoyed it, and it was interesting, structurally, because (approximately) each issue was 10 pages of Bagley art and 10 pages of another artist.

    *Future's End, which, I did not read, happened during the New 52 and had an intersection w/every book (there was a Future's End: 5 Years Later month) - it (sort of obviously) took place in the future of the DC Universe

    *Earth 2: World's End, ran around the same time as Future's End and was a weekly series that (I believe) closed out the Earth 2 stories before Darkseid War.

    DC did this for a few months as well back in the late eighties.

    Brightest Day was also a weekly series.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    DC tried it a few times for diminishing returns every time.

    My tip? Read 52 and avoid the rest. 52 was enjoyable as
    1. It had a great writing and art team
    2. Steve Wacker ran interference from editorial enabling the writers to do their jobs.

    Countdown, Brightest Day, Batman Eternal were all average at best.

    On a sidenote - the Action Comics weekly run was pretty decent and worth a read. Cheap too!

    I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
