I am glad they put the Superman issues in the trade, without those there is no hope of enjoying the end.Tribe Comics and Gameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500681849861573123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356724944138903526.post-59490197271295602152011-06-07T07:54:16.697-07:002011-06-07T07:54:16.697-07:00So I guess we can say it's all Grant Morrison&...So I guess we can say it's all Grant Morrison's fault. ;)<br />Though I say that with love, for as whacked out as he can get sometimes, he's easily my favorite writer working in the field and has been since Animal Man, which was what the late 80's?GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356724944138903526.post-90735706745515203242011-06-06T15:37:10.030-07:002011-06-06T15:37:10.030-07:00You have some good points with the Crisis stuff.You have some good points with the Crisis stuff.Tribe Comics and Gameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500681849861573123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356724944138903526.post-18215755468978124822011-06-06T14:33:35.375-07:002011-06-06T14:33:35.375-07:00Well to play the devil's advocate here, Marvel...Well to play the devil's advocate here, Marvel has not really put great emphasis on continuity these days, in fact they tend to towards disregarding it at times. I have more than once seen conflicts within books released the same month.<br />DC on the other has placed a much greater emphasis on continuity, and on tweaking that continuity, leading at times to very convoluted character backgrounds and storylines. With Hawkman perhaps being the most egregious example of a convoluted origin. I mean who knows what his story is? I sure don't. They also seem to publish more books that require at the very least, a passing familiarity with continuity. Infinite Crisis for example, relied on pretty heavily on knowledge of Crisis on Infinite Earths, a book fist published two decades before. Final Crisis was even more arcane, while I’ll admit I’m more of a Marvel reader I do know my DC fairly well, and I was lost much of the time with that book. <br />And while I do believe it is being blown out of proportion, I do think there is enough evidence to point to that one could see where some of these people are coming from.GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.com
