Jamal Ingel-who has worked at DC on and off since he was 17 years old pointed out on his Twitter-DC brings in about 5 billion a year from everything from comics, toys and other stuff. At most to run DC is about $10 million a year.
Why pull the plug when it's making you money in some form?
Easy STOP with event derailing books for a cheap sales boost. You want to have Supergirl be in Death Metal-FINE do her like Marvel did Miles in Ultimate Carnage-he had his own 3 part mini. His book got left alone.The trick is how the heck to make comics appeal to a wide audience again (go back to days of audience changing frequently?). And I have no idea how to resolve that one, except that I'd probably appeal to kids at least at first (fewer prejudices against the medium), and then branch out into other genres before as comics used to (even though I myself am a person who reads comics because I like superheroes, not because I like the medium).
Then cut down on variants. Do I need 47 variants for Wonder Woman's milestone issue? You want to make those special? Let folks do a Final Order Cutoff at stores for the cover that they want.
If you are going after kids-UNDERSTAND and make it CLEAR to those 40 years olds (especially the gators and doomsayers)-we are going to use folks YOU don't care for. Get over it.
With Moon Girl, Riri & Shuri running around-there is ZERO excuse for Vixen & Bumblebee to be collecting dust. They need to be out there with Naomi & Jo. Along with Thunder & Lighting from Black Lightning show.
The market for black boy lead books is OPEN for whoever wants it. Miles & Panther are taking it-Dc can't wait on Static-Luke, BL, Duke, Cyborg and John need to be out there.
The money is there is you know where to look.
