@vaeternus: For me a good writer does not always write good stuff. For instance Mark Waid is one of my favorites but I can't stand his Captain America stuff and Frank Miller who had good early days mostly writes crap now. I think every piece of work has to be judged by its own which makes predicting what a good comic will be a difficult task. I admit that there are indicators but the end result isn't always the same for me. Lemire's Animal Man was truly amazing but Future's End has been a bust for me. Sorting through the New 52 is really quite a chore as there's a lot more crap than good stuff there.
Well, typically speaking if a writer has a good rep I consider that example I will take Geoff John's work and Lemire's any DAY over say Loebs nonsense....I think it's safe to say why lol.
I'm not too familiar with Mark Waid so I can't judge but I do like Frank's work for the most part, not all his stories are my preference but DK stories were cool and I like Alan Moore's work.
Obviously nobody's perfect but at least with a good writer with a good rep will usually be consistent know what I mean? I heard Jeff's Animal Man was great, never got into the character however but now I will since I'm reading JLU which seems rather interesting. And I'm enjoying Future's End so far, it's the beginning so it needs more time but I love time travel and such. Only thing that puzzles me a bit is in the fcbd issue # 0 they say Mr. Terrific and Batman created Brother, yet in issue one they only reference Mr. Terrific as in he's the main creator so I'm wondering if more will be revealed concerning that I hope...and hope they explain how a robot with nano- tech so it seems can harm guys like Superman unless it was one of those things that automatically was programmed to find a person's weakness regardless of metahuman, human, alien etc.
Eh, I think there's as with Marvel, DC and all comics really there's good comics and bad ones....I mean I like Spiderman but I found that Doc Oct controlling Pete's body while Pete's dead to be really dumb...
New 52 for the most part I'm enjoying but I think they're putting out way too many books honestly.
