A lot of writers (especially comic writers) seem to think that marriage or even a long-term stable relationship is the Good Ending and once you hit it all interesting things die and it's kind of sad and depressing.

I would read a bigamist flash. He could have different secret identities, different wives in different cities. They all know he's the flash but don't know he has other civilian identities and wives.

Really, the only thing that's ever wrong with any character is that they're in a bad comic.

BrianWilly posted:Wally was pretty good in the latest Flash issue and seems fine in the TT preview so I look forward to people shutting up about this "problem" that's frankly pretty much fixed at this point. There's no real graceful way to handle this, but having N52 Wally just be OG Wally's cousin from another dimension who still gets to be in Kid Flash in the Flash book proper and Teen Titans is about as good as it was ever going to get.

Well it's also because it's easy to write boilerplate romance. You can hit the same basic plot points but because one of the characters is different it technically isn't rehashing. It's a lazy writer goldmine.

Rhyno posted:They could have just had old Wally's essence merge with New Wally or something. 30 year old man enters 12 year old's body and looks to hook up with his 20something former wife who doesn't know he exists. Fund it! The only problem with New 52 Wally at this point is his origin (because of Venditti/DC's bad decisions) and that his existence kind of stipulates that Bart Allen and Iris West II don't really have a place in the universe anymore. The latter probably isn't a big deal to most people (but I still liked half korean girl impulse for the 20 seconds she existed) and the former has been a mess ever since DC took away Barry + Iris. So since that poo poo's not even close to fixed he's got a niche that needed filling anyhow. Two Tone Shoes fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Aug 30, 2016 |

There's nothing worse than seeing a couple you really like get through the dumbest of relationship drama. Stuck with volume three of Teen Titans until the very end like an idiot just to see if they'd finally cut out the "Will they or won't they" crap going on with Beast Boy and Raven, and they thankfully did in the end. Just in time for the New 52 to reset their relationship entirely!

DC screwed the pooch on a lot and New 52 Wally was basically the shining example of how lost in the woods they were about everything.

It's nice, though there was honestly nothing wrong with Cho's in the first place before he threw his little tantrum. The hilarious thing is that, if you look back, Rucka apparently requested even more overt changes on Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott's original covers -- in the former she's clearly looking too fierce and the latter she's not looking fierce enough -- and yet neither of them started bleeting on about censorship.

That second one has a whole different inking/colouring. It went from really rendered to relatively flat and cartoony.   e: I'm sure he/whoever just asked for it to be brighter, but I think it lost a bit with the backlighting especially. I also prefer the subtle birds in the original. ee: They've put a "Road To Rebirth" brand on the Lois and Clark trade, which is pretty smart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHNE_MWLzLM&t=138s Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Aug 31, 2016 |

I feel bad about DC You and everything. Seems like DC saw the writing on the wall and made the progressive leap, but it didn't work out for them. Marvel can probably afford not having to pander to straight middle aged white men because their whole publishing division is basically just advertisement for the billion dollar movies. DC may technically be turning a profit with theirs, but they keep missing the success they really want by a hair. Funny thing, anime is the same way. Every season there's tons of exploitative garbage either to titillate creepy turbonerds enough to have them buy the blu-rays and merch in droves or advertise to kids harder than the most toyetic eighties cartoon ever, but that's just about the only way to make much money and stay in business.

He made a joke about asking DC to let him blow up another universe and somehow that gave people real hope. He's launching new Image comics ATM. Black Monday Murders #1 was amazing.

He's said he doesn't want to work on any kind of long term or high profile project for a while. The only Big Two books he's mentioned being interested in are Legion for DC and Eternals for Marvel.

More exclusive signings. Robson Rocha is terrible and I've never seen a single page from him that was a step above "last minute fill-in art.' Otto Schmidt however is probably the most exciting artistic talent I've seen on a DC book in a long long time. Good for both parties.

The CBR redesign is horrible but at least they went a step further and excised all their columns content so you have no reason to ever visit the site again. RIP the Comics Should Be Good archives though.

Uh, where? The columns filters are all gone, their site search feature turns up nothing and google searching turns up nothing but dead links. Last I checked there was a big thread on the forums where the new editor just kept dodging questions about it.
