have you ever heard of ecto kid or zero hour

[ComicBookClub]

Zero Hour, yup. Ecto Kid, nope, but I'm assuming it has something to do with the Ecto Cooler. Probably wrong.

What DC really needs to start doing is nurturing and promoting new talent. Name me one new writer at DC that's on say a Matt Fraction level and that's partially because they cannot get a long enough run on a title to make a name for themselves. Marvel's done this with Fraction, Brubaker and Bendis. Both Companies are guilty of continuity nightmare crossovers and are full of great but cancelled books. The talent is where the real difference is. I love Final Crisis, but i love Morrison to bits.

[ComicBookClub]

That's an EXCELLENT point. With Matt Fraction, Jason Aaron, Dan Slott, Marc Guggenheim, etc, Marvel has their next wave of writers in place, even as Bendis, Brubaker, etc. are still there. DC does have the younger writers, but they seem to burn through them much more quickly.

[Melville10]

I gave up on Secret Invasion after issue 6. The pacing stunk and I don't care how it ends to be frank. I like Bendis but this was overrated. I have no interest in final crisis either--never thought the original crisis was that good. I think the big events water-down the books. I would rather spend my money on books like Atomic Robo or Milligan's Human Target. I am a fan of some DC/Marvel books but I'm done with the mega-crossovers.

justin is soooooo annoying when its pete and alex the show is better no mindless comments or arguments

[ThePatheticClub]

Pete is so awesome!

[skinwalkerxxx]

DC needs good books that sells. I know they could publish good books...because they're good books but what would be the point. There's a lot of books that sells that are bad and or just plain average but I thik it shows a failiure of some kind if a book can't reach an audience. I think there is a good reason behind it. Maybe with Blue Beetle they could have had stronger ties to the previous Beetle. Maybe Manhunter could have lured the readers of Mark Shaw if it had been him., etc..

[Nightavenger2]

DC Does the whole let's kill one character then have some other guy take over. I could understand if the guy sucked but if he doesn't it's as stupid as changing the QB when the football team is winning.

[Nightavenger2]

I would disagree. They keep overdoing death, and keep doing the crap of let's one character, and replace him with another.

[blackmetalaske]

dc comics doesnt need to be fixed. its great as it is

[LifeFirst]

Batman, Detective Comics, Legion of Super-Heroes are really good to me...I don't care what anybody says.

[generaldark]

[darkseidrules]

Final Crisis is awsome!

[archer1949]

Final Crisis was awesome!
