Three years going on four isn't going to wash away at least a decade if not more of damage. I don't know how long it'll take. Looking at it from more a pessimistic view, who knows if it will happen at all. But I don't like being a pessimist.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-30215174257670258702015-07-21T17:47:54.988-04:002015-07-21T17:47:54.988-04:00I am not in publishing at all.

They also have ESPN, thDisney Channel, and ABC as publicity streams.<br /><br />Thanks for all comments!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-35593029510350460102015-07-21T14:30:37.746-04:002015-07-21T14:30:37.746-04:00Anj: I wasn't a fan of JL3000, like you said, ...Anj: I wasn't a fan of JL3000, like you said, burned out on the writing. But I truly hated Howard Porter's art compared to, say, his JLA run with Grant Morrison. It could have been two things. 1/he inks his own pencils. 2/he had to rush his art because DC chose to take Kevin MacGuire off the art chores ahead of time.<br /><br />Porter's art has gotten better, so I want to say it was #2. So if you find the early issues of JL3000, don't give Porter the bum's rush. Editorial edict gave him a tight deadline, and I saw it most in the faces, everyone seemed to be gritting their teeth all the time.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-54408860313408392672015-07-21T13:45:36.790-04:002015-07-21T13:45:36.790-04:00If they had published a Supergirl comic this month...If they had published a Supergirl comic this month, I like to think it would at the very least kept pace with Gotham Academy and Catwoman, as it had been in March. Given the retailer incentives DC tried for June combined with the character's raised profile, I think it would probably have done noticeably better.<br /><br />I think DC are never going to top the chart again. They weren't doing that well even in 2014 - DCs lack of a strong mid-tier set of books combined with too many ultra-weak sellers compared to Marvel's new very successful top ranked books like Thor meant they were already on the back foot. But in 2015 when Marvel now has Star Wars and are making it a huge success, DC have no chance. Watch that gap get even wider as the Star Wars movies come out. They're going to be lucky if five years from now their market share isn't caught by Image, seeing how much goodwill that publisher is getting right now. I think Image is poised for a lot of growth, and all I see foresee for DC is stagnation unless they can dig their biggest IP out of the gutter.AndNowInStereohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14021894582408478305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-4474004564855861032015-07-21T12:27:01.702-04:002015-07-21T12:27:01.702-04:00That should show DC and those who thought Truth wa...That should show DC and those who thought Truth was a good idea. From what one or two of the Lois fanbase have tweeted, last month's Superman/Wonder Woman actually dropped in sales from where it was originally. Truth is not only dividing the fanbase (and actual credible reviewers who don't just pander to the companies) it's not making the money DC want it to. Stability and growth are how you reap the sales reward over time, not shock value and gimmicks.<br /><br />LouisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
