There's been about 20 better Avengers stories than anything Busiek wrote since he finished... but let's not derail the thread

Worrying times. DC have done EVERYTHING they can now. And they're still losing to a Marvel who haven't written anything interesting all year.


You understand that retail sales traditionally drop in January, right?

If you want to compare apples to apples, compare January 2011 to January 2012.

They're losing on market share and dollar share because Marvel puts out more books- a larger % of which are 3.99.

Justice League is unreadable. It is a collection of glowing lights and posed, muscle-bound men. It's a ridiculous book.

Batman, on the other hand, is phenomenal.

And I actually am one of the few around here who likes Bendis' Avengers run(s).. but that's just silly.

I can kind of understand most of those even if I don't agree. But Superman, The Flash and Batman: The Dark Knight? :smt017 :smt011

Shop owners ordered more of those. Why? I have no idea.

It says something about the buying habits of comic book readers. I'd rather Swamp Thing or Animal Man be on that list. Those are at least well written comics even if I don't enjoy them.

Flash is surprisingly good. And gorgeous. And I actually am really enjoying Superman...it's much better than that turd Morrison's crapping out

LOL, DC needs to buy billboards across the country and put "Aquaman sold more comics than every Marvel comic published".

Action Comics and Superman both suck equally.
