Looking forward to seeing what develops in September. I like the idea of setting Green Arrow in Seattle to bring realism. I've always enjoyed how Marvel often uses real cities like New York as the setting for their books.

I'm happy to see a great villain like Doom get more exposure and his own story.
 
Having him go to Hell concerns me a bit due to the current industry trend of temporarily killing off characters and all the hype associated with it.
 
That being said, I'll probably still pick it up, since it's not just another popular hero dying and it looks like it could be some kind of prequel.

Thanks for catching me up on The Flash. As usual, you've managed to relate a ton of background information in a short read.
 
I too hope DC chooses to maintain two Flash titles. Either way, super heroes seem to always come back, and I suspect we'll see Wally West take center stage again some day.

DC sure loves to hit that reset button.

Sounds to me like it was just crummy, inconsistent writing.

I considered becoming a superhero very seriously...when I was 7 years old. I doubt these individuals will receive the same reception I once did as they venture out in super hero garb.

How could race not matter? It's part of who we are. That's the whole reason Miles is taking over as Spiderman. It makes for a compelling story and breathes life into a title known for putting a unique spin on classic Marvel characters and events.

When a hero starts second guessing his actions thinking he could have averted some tragedy that really isn't his fault, he will usually end up in worse trouble because his head isn't in the game.
 
Snitches will always be useful, available, and necessary because of human nature. Partners in crime can be turned against one another, and police can take advantage of a suspect's fear to get information. Of course Batman is going to do the same thing. Isn't that the whole reason he dresses up like a bat? To intimidate criminals?
 
There won't always be enough clues to solve a crime, or enough time to find those clues when a suspect needs to be apprehended or citizens protected.
 
Criminals who become snitches are already in danger just being involved with a lunatic like the Joker. Their destructive life choices inevitably result in negative consequences for them and their families.

It's all part of his plan to destroy civilization as we know it.
 
Have you read League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? The pace is a bit quicker than Watchmen. I liked them both.
 
Moore happened to write one of the first comics I ever owned. It was a Swamp Thing issue (vol 2 issue 21) I picked up at the local grocery store back in grade school.

The majority of comic book readers are male so how can you expect the percentage of male/female creators to be much different?
That's like complaining that video games and football are slanted to appeal to males.
The comic book companies exist to make money and they want their comics to appeal to the majority of their fan base.
When you try to get a corporation to do something that makes no business sense, simply to be politically correct, all you end up with is token cooperation.
