And it ends up derailing several books, including Flash and Justice League Dark. Which I suppose proposes another question: Do you prefer event books that are contained to their own books, or books that have tie-ins, or events that derail on goings like this and Night of the Monster Men?
Does it, i dont know because i havent heard anything about endless winter...but i expect it to be some elseworld story...but i have no clue, just saw those teasers with batman and wonder woman.
I dont like the idea of someone derailing another teams current run, forcing them into a direction they dont want or havent planned...but then what is the purpose of events if they dont affect anything?
I think most importantly for me is if the story works, if its good enough then i can live with both, being contained on its own or affecting ongoing stuff.
I guess thats the thing with comics in General, if the storys work for us or not and how we want it to influence comics.
I dont think i have a preference, it comes down to the story.
SPEAKING OF EVENTS:
It looks like Bendis is off the Super books come December. Superman #28 and Action Comics #1028 are the final issues. And Bleeding Cool is yet again reporting that Mark Waid may very well be coming back to DC...
Would be good news all around.
Superman needs a new direction.
I do like some of the new characters...okay mostly their design, but overall i have lost so much interest in the man of steel.
It varies, doesn't it.
Crisis made changes that lasted a long time;
Flashpoint, nowhere near as long,
Armageddon 2001, not at all (IIRC).
Convergence just seems to have been brushed under the carpet!
I'm not sure how many significant changes remain after
Metal (granted, I'm a trade reader so there's probably stuff going on I haven't caught up with yet).
Where does Metal even run at?
I dont know if i asked that before, but i have no grasp of an idea where this all is.
Is that supposed to be prime earth, after snyders batman run?
A different earth? A different timeline on prime earth?
The man is so worried about telling some huge story that he loses himself in making the basics clear.
I have to be honest, i needed to freshen up on convergence because i forgot about 80% of it. XD
I guess like with everything bigger, DC looks at how people handle the stuff and then decide if it will be around for longer.
Its easy to lose track on what event meant something for longer. XD
