I only thumbed through some of the issues of Old Man Logan and even I felt disgusted by this mess. Not just the over-the-top ultra-violence but the lack of continuity (Mysterio's illusions fooled Wolverine?! You $#!*in' me!?) and inability to adhere to certain rules in comics.<br /><br />I honestly wish that the "new direction" Marvel and DC are taking are on the up and up. But when you still have guys like Bendis and Millar working at these companies, I see no change in sight.<br /><br />It's completely ridiculous that both sides cannot make the main titles of their books more accessible to all ages. Not just adults, but to teens, pre-teens, and little ones too. The young ones are a bit sharper than we give them credit for, but I don't wanna had them a copy of Kick-Ass (why would I want to unless the bathroom is out of T-paper) and say "good luck".<br /><br />I like reading the Essential Marvel tpb's to get back to the old school story telling. Despite their "dated material", these books appealed to both sides. Today, we basically stick young readers at the kiddie pool of comic books and new readers have to adapt to the "sink or swim" method of getting into these titles.<br /><br />If there is ever going to be change in these companies, action must be taken. Not just talking about it, ACTION! We need to tell them DIRECTLY that we want something better. Time to retire "Doom & Gloom" and bring in the light.<br /><br />Mr. QAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-39604768769186890272010-05-03T08:56:13.049-05:002010-05-03T08:56:13.049-05:00You will soon have shiny new lives!

Now it's... <br /><br />There's no better example of your point than All-Star Superman. I picked it up mostly because it sort of promised it would be the DC equivalent of the Ultimate universe, but became mesmerized by it from the first panel. It was PURE JOY. No darkness, no grimness. Just fun storytelling hearkening back to the glory days of silly comics. <br /><br />I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed it, and how much I realized that I was so fatigued by dark and grim. I had thought I was too mature to really ever want to read a fun, non-'realistic' comic book ever again. But I was wrong. I want more of it. To some extent, that's what Invincible is (in spite of the bright gore every other issue. <br /><br />As to continuity overload, I'm reading rumbles that DC might be getting ready to cordon off it's 'families' to some extent, letting each hero's world be somewhat independent of the others, and if that's the case, I'd be all for that.<br /><br />Of course, I don't really read ANY of the mainstream comics from either publisher anymore, although I do skim them and keep up with the general storylines. I occasionally pick up a trade with a story I've heard good things about, like "Long Halloween", or some of the recent Marvel Cosmic stuff (which is itself a cordoned off part of the Marvel universe not requiring me to read or have read other corners of the Marvel U. And also not coincidentally, Marvel Comsic is a fun romp. <br /><br />Let the comic creators just tell good stories and don't lock them into continuity. Maybe it'll happen in our lifetime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812513629277933304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-32862205919646352582010-05-01T16:23:59.509-05:002010-05-01T16:23:59.509-05:00That Superman comic looks like something for futur...That Superman comic looks like something for future Grant Morrison stories to be based on...Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030557639473109093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679362097182696260.post-23669728374980857232010-05-01T02:05:13.267-05:002010-05-01T02:05:13.267-05:00Maxo - good luck to you.
