@sethysquare: I might have, but putting it into a collage isn't really promoting it...as you mention there are 48 other books that want the same attention. And yes I am talking about the 2nd and 3rd wave...also I havent noticed DC trying to save the titles Liefeld wrote other than replacing him with someone who obviously was only there to close them down. Also I am talking about books like Demon Knights and I, Vampire, where the promotional material has been almost non-existent in comparison to JLA and DotF.
well, with regards to giving ST and AM promotion, what makes them more special than the other 50 books from new 52? Is it because they are better written? Then what about I, Vampire, Demon Knights, Wonder Woman, Action Comics, Batman, ASW and more.
with regards to Liefeld, their sales are already horrible, there is no way a miracle will happen unless its involve in some sort of big crossover, its not going to exponentially increase sales to the point that it'll be safe. I think Justin Jordan did a wonderful job on Deathstroke.
I also saw Demon Knights new creative team in book ads and I, Vampire trade ads and I, Vampire and JLD crossover ads.
DC is already giving these books more shelf life than they would normally have. A book about Vampires that during initial polls were ranked at the bottom, A book about several characters in the medieval times with magic just wouldn't usually work. Given to Marvel, they would've been cancelled in 8 issues or less. But DC gave I, Vampire more chance than they normally would have, frequently giving small crossovers written beautifully and retaining the writer and promoting him to write some of the flagship books in DC. I'll say DC did everything right in the Dark department. Sure they cancelled books like Team 7 and Amethyst prematurely, but they were never fantastic to begin with. I think Jordan's writing is great but he just didn't handled team 7 well enough since there are no outstanding characteristics to each of the team members, thats one thing he didn't do well, although he did write a fantastic DS which is why he is again being rewarded with GLNG and Superboy.
