Who's buying these events anyway? My impression is most people here are tired of it. I know that the people here are very small section of the fandom though. I see the same names over and over again there might as well be only 50 people.
Twitter are pretty hype when it comes to... not event but specific creators, like the Snyder fans, and there seems to be a lot of them, so I guess, when it comes to the ones I can see online, them.
I think given how many Batbooks they are soliciting, it seems like the Batman fans really are buying everything Bat-related.
I agree. The new management wants to cut costs because of the debt. Other than the EiC, they probably haven't replaced the people that were eliminated and probably given their workload to a preexisting editor so they are probably being given more work with less people to handle it. And the previous regime seems to have favored the editors being involved creatively in books and pushing their favored personal ideas/characters. I think that tendency and the various line editors being not able to work together has made continuity so much more difficult at DC with contradictory attempts at doing the same thing.

A prime example recently would be in the Witching Hour story that involved multiple artists.
Jesus Merino, Emanuela Luppachino, Fernando Blanco and Miguel Mendonca ended up with three different looks for Enchantress, one of which made her look like a female Damian in a green cloak.
Meanwhile, Nightshade lost her mask between issues (making her look like Marvel's Sersi in the process), and the editor apparently didn't notice.
Granted, it was a weekly story running through two titles... but Chris Conroy was the editor on all the issues that Enchantress and Nightshade appeared in.
Rebecca Taylor was the editor on only one part of the story, and the two characters didn't appear in her issue.
Also, the part of Event Leviathan that had Lois Lane talk like she was from the streets somehow made it past the editor, too.
Nothing takes me out of the story more than things like these.
I stopped reading the new Archie series when Reggie pulled up in his car to talk to Veronica, and magically switched from driving American to driving European, as he switched from the driver seat to the passenger seat, taking the steering wheel with him to talk with Veronica, who had also moved from one side of the car to the other.
And over in Legenderry, at Dynamite, I quit reading when Vampirella was seated in a restaurant talking with two men, and the men swapped seats in mid conversation, and back again.
Sometimes I wonder if editors even read the comics anymore.
