When SEO just isn't enough.
Is there even one good book-wide crossover event in comics?

e: Though yes, I will be buying this, and I don't usually buy single issues - so I am well aware I am part of the problem.

Yes there have been many.

Cool, feel free to actually let me know about them once your probate's up.

I don't know how the comic book industry is doing right now but wouldn't it be better to try and make their comics easier to get into and not even more impenetrable?

I mean sure, all these big events will get a sales bump, but the series will all likely settle back to where they were, right?

Personally I am more optimistic about the comics being good, or at least not actively terrible, than about a sloppy in-universe explanation as to why everyone was getting raped and dismembered for the last decade. Just stop writing stories where that happens, I don't need to read a comic trying to explain lovely decisions from the real world. Just make better decisions now. What DC needs more than anything right now is a few years of just making comics, without huge rebranding and restructuring initiatives. I think the creators and the fans need stability more than anything.

This 100%. Just tell some good stories.

Western comics just have so much baggage.
