DC 2006:Year in Review

[Darthphere]

Wow, every single point of yours sucks. I'm SO glad I don't have your taste. At all. Ever.

Actually, surprsingly enough, a lot of us agree with his points.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Im totally surprised Doc.

No, you aren't. And you shouldn't be.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Actually, surprsingly enough, a lot of us agree with his points.

Then you all suck, I guess. Still glad I don't have that taste.

 

[Darthphere]

Nah, we all just think logically. For example, whats so bad about giving Joe Kelly a bigger role? Fixing Cassandra Cain?

 

[Doc Destruction]

I kind of like her as a villain, so no problem there. Her and the Red Hood can give B & R some real problems.

Joe Kelly is okay I guess. I don't have a REAL serious problem with most of the OYL books. Nightwing was pretty horrid.

 

[Darthphere]

I kind of like her as a villain, so no problem there. Her and the Red Hood can give B & R some real problems.

But it goes against the whole concept behind your sig, doesnt that make you a hypocrite?

 

[Doc Destruction]

I see those as interesting changes, so no.

 

[Darthphere]

Interesting as totally out of character and going against almost 100 issues of her own solo title? I guess you answered my hypocrite question then.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Says you. She came from villainous roots, so it stands to reason that she could always fall backwards.

So no, you lose.

 

[Doc Destruction]

By the way, I own that whole run, and I still think she's a great character.

 

[Darthphere]

Ha-ha, I love that you pretty much ate up and spit out the same garbage Didio spouted out. Wow, Doc, youre so up DC's ass its crazy. Whatever, its obvious if marvel pulled the same crap you'd be on their ass like no tomorrow.

 

[Darthphere]

By the way, I own that whole run, and I still think she's a great character.

Thats sad, it really is.

 

[Doc Destruction]

To you.

 

[CConn]

To me too, actually.

Hell, I could go around and collect some signatures, if you'd like.

 

[droogiedroogie2]

Wow, every single point of yours sucks. I'm SO glad I don't have your taste. At all. Ever.

So you're saying Joe Kelly sucks, Cassandra is better as a villain, the Bat-books suck, the Super-books are benefitting from being turned into Superman: The Movie, previous continuity from like a year ago for GL needs to be ignored, and there are NO ongoings which don't deserve to be ongoing?

O...kaaaaaay...

 

[Doc Destruction]

Joe Kelly is okay, Cassandra is okay as a villain, I don't read the Superman stuff, GL is fine, and plenty of ongoings are doing just fine.

 

[The Leaguer]

Let's rename this the "Doc Destruction is a 'tard thread."

 

[Doc Destruction]

Oh, please. This from a fan of Zauriel.

 

[CConn]

Joe Kelly is okay, Cassandra is okay as a villain, I don't read the Superman stuff, GL is fine, and plenty of ongoings are doing just fine.

How long have you been reading DC again?

Yeah, plenty of the ongoings are doing just fine. But they were doing better last year and the year before. Astonishingly better in some cases.

 

[Green Lantern]

CConn, how come you're never on Yahoo anymore?

 

[CConn]

A combination of having to share a computer and having a relative visiting for the last week.

 

[Green Lantern]

Ah.

 

[Doc Destruction]

How long have you been reading DC again?

Yeah, plenty of the ongoings are doing just fine. But they were doing better last year and the year before. Astonishingly better in some cases.

Quite a while, just not as heavily as I am now. I guess IC and OYL did their job as far as I'm concerned.

Which ongoings would you say were doing better? Bear in mind I read ZERO Superman and very little Batman.

Let's see...

Teen Titans was better.
Flash was tons better.
Green Lantern (Kyle's series) and even Green Lantern: Rebirth was tons better than the current GL title.
Robin was better.
Nightwing (until Wolfman took over) was (comparatively) better.
And damn good series like JSA, Gotham Central and Batgirl were cancelled.

The Batman titles are probably the one thing that's gotten better, actually.

Save for Superman and Wonder Woman (which, I'd say are about the same in terms of quality pre-IC and post-IC), those are pretty much DC's biggest titles, and all of them are in a decline.

 

[Doc Destruction]

I like TT so far.

Flash is TERRIBLE.

GL and Corps are both great, IMO.

Never read Robin.

JSA is coming back, never read Nightwing or Gotham Central.

So, I wasn't really all that affected by the crappy turns. Maybe that's why I'm not as jaded?
