As a huge Kirby devotee, I’ve read most of the original New Gods comics (from all the various titles) a handful of times each. Even I can’t figure out what the fuck is going on in Final Crisis. I’ve also noted that, as each shipment of funnybooks comes in at the end of the month, my DC pile is smaller and smaller. I think that Final Crisis was the only DC title I ordered last month. Scratch that; make it the only title I ordered that actually shipped. Is All-Star Superman a deca-monthly now?

I learned all I needed to know from the Batman/Superman/Justice League cartoons. Sometimes I wish DC would use those cartoons as the basis for all of their characters.

Yeah, I don’t know how they expect anyone to keep up with it. It’s not as though they are basing the story on a popular line of comics from the 1970’s. The line was so unpopular that all three books were canceled. I think part of it is that some of the writers want to show off how much of the obscure DC trivia they know.

This is the kind of fanboy-bullshit that makes people hate comics. This attitude that if you don’t know every piece of minutia about a character or series then you don’t deserve to understand what’s going on is bullshit. Also, DC totally sucks.
