DC's management has been the biggest let down. But this was true even before the n52 started.

[JackDaw]

The biggest let down for me wasn't any one series (although StormWatch was dreadful) but the overall approach.

I can't see the point of bringing back the Multiverse IF you're going to pack the main story telling with every conceivable character. The point of the multiverse for me is that you have your main characters in different universes… like in the old days JSA and JLA were.

For me, that split opens up a load of story telling possibilities. Without it… really can't see the point of bringing the multiverse back.

Clark and Lois. I miss them every day.

I don't know. DC ran Superman into the ground prior to the New 52. It was unreadable. New Krypton-Grounded. Superman was pretty much washed up as a character after all that crap. Now he's back on track, for the most part.

FOREVER EVIL was the big plop of the NEW 52 though.

DC bringing back Resurrection Man only to cancel his series again.

DC bringing back Resurrection Man only to cancel his series again.

You were let down by getting 13 more issues of a series you enjoy?

I can't remember all their mistakes and pick one. It's like it's all a blur to me...

Ales Kot booted off Suicide Squad.

Sherlock says it right.
That was a cardinal sin.

Trinity War. And it's not even close.

They hyped this thing for over a year, and it ultimately served no other purpose than as a six issue prologue to a DIFFERENT event.

I got two. 1. DC saying that superheroes in the New 52 shouldn't marry/have good happy lives (believe they said that after letting go the Batwoman Team). 2. The Trinity War/Forever Evil Event

See that should be number one but the fact that the end of the big event it led into was postponed two months (three from it's original schedule), was almost just as bad a failure as that hype machine fail.

The story that was presented to us is that editorial wouldn't let Diggle write the story he wanted to so he left: Specifically he wanted to cut off Superman's hand and was told "Absolutely not."

Why would that seem to be a problem DC is the cut off a limb comic company. A couple of months ago Earth 2 Atom, then Captan Cold removes Johny Quicks leg at the knee, and just this week Lobo cuts off Hawkman's forearm.

Pretty soon, the New 52 will be populated with pirates.

I give FE the benefit of the doubt because it's been interesting, at least.

I think it's silly that heroes are forbidden to marry, btw.

My biggest let down is the fact that the whole universe now seems to desperately want to be 90s Marvel.

Hey DC, I know Marvel sold a lot of books in the 90s, but it's not the 90s anymore and you're not Marvel. Stop trying to pretend you are.
