After having all but given up on the comic book industry as it presently exists, I began to get nostalgic for the kinds of stories I read when I first starting buying comics back in the 80s, off the spinner-rack in Waldenbooks. Fun stories, more pages, lots more text, without any divisive socio-poli...

This is a pretty obvious one that has been mentioned, but nothing affects my monthly DCBS order like 3.99 titles double-shipping. Asking me to pay 8 bucks a month for the story equivalent of a Sunday comic strip (B.M.Bendis, I'm looking in your direction...) is something my monthly comics budget jus...

I’m finding it slow moving and some aspects are confusing. Can anyone explain why we keep getting panels that almost look like they’re affected by a poor TV signal. The characterisation of Big Barda is about the only element I’m enjoying, with Scott Free just too morose to route for. If anyone is c...

Concur. Since I originally posed the question, I think I've probably adjusted my thinking a dozen times.

CURRENTLY:

Geoff Johns
Mark Waid
Stan Sakai
Kurt Busiek

Good LORD.

I've been trying since Christmas to get caught up on Injustice and Injustice 2 by buying them digitally, intending to transition to print. Finally thought I had: I'd just read what Amazon has labeled "issue 18", ending with Team Batman being sealed inside the fortres of Ra's Al Ghul. I the...

Those sorts of experiments have been tried in the past. Generally speaking, lower prices don't result in higher sales. That's a fair point, and impossible to argue based upon sales. Still, as another commentor mentioned, if the Alterna line were priced any higher, I wouldn't be buying any of them b...

I've had this question rattling around in my head since the Alterna-Comix line appeared: If the major comics publishers held a referendum and asked readers if they'd support a return to publishing comics on newsprint, and all the disadvantages that go along with it -- deterioration, limited color pa...

I don't begrudge D.C. returning to industry-standard pricing, however I wouldn't be able to support multiple double-shipped books at that price point, if those books were part of the increase. (I realize we're just speaking hypothetically here.) Action Comics is currently the only one I would unques...

Thank you sir!

I notice that American Mythology Productions has two comics they're offering in the current Previews, "Stargate: Hearts and Minds" and "Stargate: Gateways". BOTH solicitations claim that their respective seres "picks up right where the tv show left off!". How is this po...

I like the wide selection and pricing variety of Mile High Comics, although their user interface has gotten less user-friendly over the years.

*"Darkseid War: Shazam" spoilers follow* My gateway into comics was DC's "Legends" mini-series in 1986 (I was 11). I'd passed by that spinner rack in Waldenbooks a hundred times without giving it a glance, but there on the cover of issue #1 was Darkseid and other characters I rec...

JLU looked to be developing, under writer Jeff Parker, into something far better than it had been under Lemire. Parker took over a title plagued by sloppy storytelling, with an uninspiring roster of heroes, and seemed to be transforming it into something very compelling. In his scant three issues he...

In addition to the mainstream D.C./Marvel titles, plus everything with "Star Trek" in it, I've been ordering "Public Relations" by First/Devil's Due. (Did I get the publisher correct?) As with Black Hood, not the sort of thing I'd normally order, but in the last Previews catalog ...
