This to the tenth power. I understand having faith in these writers because they sell, but there is no reason why they should give a deep universe to one person. Personal bias will always get in the way at some point in time. It also hurts writers who want to establish things in other titles.
One thing I also hate is how some editors like Joey Q., when he was EIC, have this smugness about them whenever some fans complain. Something dumb happens and they just blow it off as a small minority of people who don't matter because they don't know what sells. Well that would be fine and dandy if this wasn't the worst time in comic sales history. The market is shrinking and here you have a bunch of idiots acting like their ideas are what's best for the industry because some hardcore fans of a dying generation are sticking around. Catering to those fans are what's killing the market in the first place.
Agreed in full. Some fans argue that the 90's were the worst decade in comics. The truth is, the industry doesn't seem to have learned anything from the mistakes of the 90's, other than the variant cover gimmick. They're still making the same asinine moves and alienating fans left and right.
