Any long-term plans made by the writers in DC's current employ are all automatically scrubbed. Piss on the people making the comics and this reader gets pissed off.<br /><br />I've read the list of proposed titles. It reads like the charter for an "old boys club" where only those in tight with Didio and Company are offered a job. I realize that, realistically, this is sometimes how the world works, but that doesn't make it fair. I hope the whole shebang blows up in their faces.<br /><br />Does DC expect buyers to scoop up all 52 titles just because they sport a number 1 on their jackets? This ain't the 90's, people. The speculation boom wasn't so long ago that readers have forgotten what a complete disaster that turned out to be. I see quarter boxes in shops glutted with copies of X-Men #1, X-Force #1, and Youngblood #1. Remember when people were buying those by the score expecting them to be hot sellers in some indefinate future? Fool us once, shame on you. Think you can fool us twice?Jonathon Riddlenoreply@blogger.com
