About this “publishing something for everyone” goal. I couldn’t disagree with it more. Sure it would be fine to put out a small line of this genre or that genre, but to minimize the regular superhero stuff, which is DC’s bread and butter, in favor of having assorted genres in its main line, strikes me as an idiotic move that will continue to alienate their longtime fans, just like the New 52.
And what the heck does a “modern approach” or “modern feel” mean? Comics seem to always have that. And to reflect the real world around us? I have no idea what that means, though I certainly hope it won’t make their storytelling ability take a turn for the worse.
I then read the line “In this new era of storytelling, story will trump continuity…” and I swore out loud. What the eff?
About Dark Universe, I’m glad to see Tynion. This should be good. But does anyone else find it odd for someone to do art on one series and write another? I’m referring to Ming Doyle. I’m not sure if that is a man’s or woman’s name. But this person is credited as writer on Constantine Hellblazer, with someone else on art, and as artist on Tynion’s Dark Universe.
And how many titles can Cullen Bunn write at once. He’s doing Magneto, Moon Knight, and I think one other book at Marvel, something at some smaller publisher, maybe several somethings at several smaller publishers. Then at DC alone he’s got Sinestro, Lobo, Aquaman, GL: Lost Army, and Wolf Moon. Maybe he’s signing exclusively with DC?
