With Marvel you get angry at when it's bad, but when DC is bad it hits you like it has let you down. It hurts more I think when they are bad. I totally get that. Honestly.
Day-um. That hits the proverbial nail straight dab on the head! I'll have to remember that line.
I have not read the Superman stuff yet, not even the Pak stuff I want to read, but I will get there. Is it the Action or the Superman title that has you a little let down?
In Pak I still trust. He's had one issue out since the reveal (which, doesn't happen until the end of the month. Great publishing move there! So, Action is fine.
It's more about the game-changer of the reveal. Superman doesn't (unfortunately) get to be a character that you can really muck with. Much like Peter Parker & Spider-man, big world changes REALLY mess up the fans and public outrage. "He's gotta be 20x years old, single, and have shitty life problems he brings on himself."
Clark Kent has to have the most foolish secret identity, and Superman has to be the best, brightest, shini-est example to all heroes (which, yeah, is something I do adore).
I just think with comics in the last 5-10 years..."blips" of change....they tend to last. F***ing Flashpoint changes didn't go away...the Titans are still an abominable mess of forgotten history for those fans...Barry Allen is still back, and Wally isn't "our" Wally....so when this big outing occurred....I'm afraid it may stay!
And that does make me angry.
And did you try OMega Men yet? Constantine? DC is doing some good stuff, Jimmy. It's okay to not buy Superman when he is letting you down. Walk away from him for awhile before he gets to you too badly and you throw your hands up on comics. There is some really good ... GREAT F'n stuff out there. Pull your Kryptonite and keep Supes awa from your eyes for about 6 months.
Constantine TH really sold me in the last 3 pages. A character much more in the vein of the Vertigo stuff I"m rereading. I didn't pick up Omega Men, but I tried Starfire to see if the genial, more open manner of her presentation ala the 'Batgirling' craze of Batgirl, Harley Quinn, and Black Canary is something I want to be a part of.
So, I'm out there checking and trying. and I'm just hopeful and hungry for when Johns Justice League trades finally make it back to my place!!
