The trouble with DC is that since the Bronze Age they have relied too heavily on gimmicks: killing off characters, re-boots, etc. It is the mark of a loss of creativity and lack of long term thinking. What happens is that there is a spike in readership because gimmicks are like a spectacle but then long term readership gets tired and frustrated and leaves. Marv Wolfman is an example of a gimmick user.

Seems like it would eliminate ZERO HOUR (yay!) if Parallax dies and Hal Jordan doesn't become The Spectre in DAY OF JUDGEMENT and sacrifices himself in FINAL NIGHT.<br /><br />I suppose one day we'll get some sort of answer. Maybe during the Darkseid/Anti-Monitor war event going on right now. (By the way, the first chapter was the most I've enjoyed the new52 JL.) Anti-Monitor seems to be tied to Metron, and if anyone would know of DC's "new history", he would be the guy.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-56913855819765480802015-06-18T10:49:39.586-04:002015-06-18T10:49:39.586-04:00So from the sept and oct dc comicbook listings sup...So from the sept and oct dc comicbook listings supergirl isnt part of it. Wonder what was that sept supergirl promises. Couldve been pushed back to november? Such a bad timing for reboot, they should start early with ppl getting interested and looking for supergirl books cuz of tv. Are they waiting to see a few tv episode scripts before planning out the reboot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
