We Need Real Talk

the post flash point news - is new big news , and big publicity , it will initially sell some books, and the fandom press , like comic book resources is acting like they are ok with it, i'm not really a dc reader , but i balked at years of continuity being flushed down the toilet to make the books more marketable, and truth be told comic book fans , it's up to us to speak out , not that it is going to keep it from happening , but you will see back pedaling it's a dangerous trend , that devalues the reason we buy into either of the big two spandex universes, because it is a mythology we have grown up with , relate to , you wanna market it to a different audience , great keep the continuity, if some one isn't smart enough to jump into a story i have got two words for you Star Wars, sticks you right in the middle of the story and you figure it out as you go along , if you can't figure that out , it's time to thin the herd and we are creating kids that are too god damn stupid , they don't have the smarts to watch brave and the bold much less worry about them reading a comic book or reading anything , i mean come on do kids really read, this so called kid market does it exist? they buy the action figures and video games, but i have never seen a kid in the comic book store since i was one
if you wanna get me started on something how about the s on kent's costume, i'm cuss you out like kat williams , you mess with super-man
ok do i think the whole thing is going to suck - no
am i going to buy any of them - mmm we'll see , prolly aqua-man , super-man and swamp thing
i do think it's cheap tricks anything for a buck no Layamon to what makes the characters work in the first place , you don't know how to make super-man hip to kids today with out this crap - hire a new god damn writer who does , marketing isn't going to save your ass in the long run , if it's not broke don't fix it , when a character is older than you are chances are it's working , no matter what geoff johns tries to say
