Dang, DC shipped 25 more books than Marvel yet they're still behind Marvel (albeit less this month than previous). It has seemed like DC has a quantity over quality problem lately, but it becomes really apparent when looking at some of these numbers.
Marvel will almost always win on dollar share because most (if not all) of their titles are $3.99. More than half of DC's titles are $2.99.
Also, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a "quantity over quality" thing. Both publishers put out their fair share of great and not so great material. I'm just happy that there's a variety of material out there for everyone to enjoy.
I wholly agree with this review. It's a real shame this series had to end, but on the other hand it's surprising it lasted as long as it did. When people complained about a lack of variety at DC, I always would point them to this title. Gritty, but fun All Star Western was the hidden gem of the New 52.
On the plus side, people should start reading Star Spangled War Stories feat. G.I. Zombie - that series is pretty fantastic!
I really enjoyed this issue! Giffen's art was fantastic, and the story was simply fun. I'm not sure I agree with the negatives, but not everyone is going to agree on everything. Pretty fair review and score.
Tuesdays at 8:00? Uh oh! That means unless either NCIS or Agents of SHIELD switches timeslots, I'm either going to have to drop a show or switch back to Comcast, (which I've actually been thinking about) because I can't record three shows at once with Fios.
