It seems to becoming more commonplace for the Big 2 to switch out the artist with each new story arc. Heck, with All Star Batman there is a different artist for every issue for the current story arc.

Now I can understand having a dedicated backup artist. Or allowing the primary artist to take a break for a couple issues or so. But these constant switches really diminish the quality of the final product and make for an inconsistent read.

I would rather see the delays that often occur in Image titles than shelling out another $4 for a substandard output. Anyone else feel the same?

Is there a way to make this displeasure known short of dropping the books that are the worst offenders? I feel like if I were to discontinue books for this reason, I would be reading very little from the Big 2.

It's honestly tough for me to imagine Flash being handled any better than Quicksilver from the X-Men movies. Now THAT was a screen stealer. We'll see though. The bar should be lower.

I'm not an anime guy at all, but I've attempted to give it a shot a few times. Couldn't last through the first episodes of either Fairy Tail or Bleach. I thought Attack on Titan was quite good though, and devoured the whole season on Netflix.

I was late to the BR party 'cause I wasn't allowed to see it as a kid. When I did eventually see it, I preferred its predecessor by a large margin. Definitely a Tim Burton movie, as an earlier post mentions.

WS on the other hand is widely considered one of Marvel's very best offerings from a stable of many good movies.

Weird comparison, because they were released so far apart. Industry changed quite between the two. Had little to no expectations when watching Begins, and it completely blew me away. It's a big reason why I came back to reading comics.

Deadpool had massive hype, and was admittedly good, but I left with a shrug and was like, "yep, another decent comics flick."

One was a pioneer for the medium, whereas the other was merely a good example for the medium. Deadpool isn't even even my favorite R-rated comic flick. That title is reserved for Kick-Ass 1.

What's that? A CW show is still living down to expectations? Fascinating.

@spoorple: Zero Year was also referenced in All Star, which I'm personally fine with.

Looking to add some books to my pull list. I have a few (maybe a few obscure) books in my sights. If anyone can give me feedback or affirmation, that would be great. Eyeballing the following:

Reborn by Mark Millar

Seven to Eternity by Rick Remender

Teen Titans by Benjamin Percy

Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates

If you feel strongly about something else as well, I'm all ears.
