STUPIDITY Put DC Comics Sales In Very Dangerous Place

[@firestarter6488]

Aquaman goes AWOL from comics while *TWO* movies starring him came out? WTF?

[@theheroinu]

DC dropped the ball with Aquaman. Entering the 2020s, after Batman, Superman, Wonder Wonder, Green Lantern, and Flash, DC seems to struggle with their other key superheroes. Teen Titans, Justice League, Supergirl, and even Aquaman we’re supposed to be the forefront of DC in this new era.

One of the things that keeps me from buying DC books is the extra dollar for backup stories that I have no interest in. I refuse to pay extra for content I don’t want.

[@InfamyOrDeath-__-]

Yea and the backup is usually total trash and is an utter waste of space, I’ve no idea why they keep doing this.

[@StrawHatVladEK]

That was the day I totally canceled my pull list. Great idea Jim Lee you overrated clown

[@craigwhitley1529]

​​​@@InfamyOrDeath-__-Perhaps it's because they have so few good writers that they now have to spread out the content over multiple issues instead of just one. Regardless of why I am also tired of the stupid backup stories

[@Neighborhood_spdrman]

It’s because they want to give work to these people but they know there’s no shot anyone is buying a book they’re writing. So throw them into a backup for a story people might wanna read. One dollar extra is better than making nothing off them doing their own book. That said I 100% agree. Every backup is hot garbage with the exception of PKJs Jon Stewart in the main GL book when it started.

He's really not and after yrs of the JL being the mainstream book it only makes since that Titans would get the spot light....it's almost like they toke the same idea of when X-Men was first getting big. They made the Titans, so if Johnathan Hickman releases a X-Men book then why not put it up against its original competition, The New Teen Titans. Avengers and JL don't need to be and shouldn't be the only books to get spotlight

Did Jim Lee ever leave the impression of a good boss that builds a company up? He is a great artist, doesn’t mean he is a great company leader.

[@davidgantenbein9362]

My personal experience based on multiple times starting to read DC: those crisis events are extreme jumping off points. Right now I only read DC comics with the mind set of „I don’t care about the canon at all, it’s not worth to even try understanding it“. It also means that my buy in for DC is very low and that I will most likely just quietly fade out of DC one day. Tbh, if not for this channel and Perch, I wouldn’t be reading any DC anyway.

[@benjaminplumyoen4029]

Jim Lee is a great illustrator, i won't deny that. But he is a terrible writer (Divine Rights) and an even worst editor (Wildstorm and DC). Being good at one thing doesn't mean that you are good for everything.

I would argue that DC Rebirth's SUPERMAN titles were AWESOME and that storyline that brought back Superman and Lois's wedding and Jonathan Kent was like the opposite of ONE MORE DAY for Superman fans....then they ruined a great comeback for Superman!

[@EvandroACruz]

Unfortunately we don't have a single Justice League run worth to read in many years.I don't miss the title. DC needs give more love to The Legion of Super-Heroes that is mistreated by DC since 2013. DC sales were awful in past month. Not a single title managed to be in the Top 20 comic book sales. Even Zdarsky Batman stayed in the 43° position in the ranking. This is insane.

Other than Batmans back getting broken or Doomsday it's not really important and you'll get better and new introductions without 40 yrs of continuity just 6 volumes telling you things can get crazy and your going for a ride but don't worry we have a ride just for you that hasn't started yet.

This is actually a bit similar to days right after the crisis. Writes of Superman and Wonder Woman were reluctant to let their characters join another team book.

Been reading JLA and World's Finest, from way back in the day. Back issues, all day, any day. I don't have a hard cutoff, but I'd say it's definitely the early 2000's, before it really started getting bad, around 2008 or 9. One of my favorite trades, to collect, and even reread, was JLA. Reading the individual books, and even teamup books, was fun, JLA was the book that brought them all together. DC has hired so many bad creators, so many bitter, miserable people, who hate not only the established names, but the fans, it's pretty much impossible, to recover, unless all of these people are gone. I'm a massive DC fan, and it really is heartbreaking, to look in, and see so many terrible books launching, stories that feel like they were written for the Twitter and reddit crowd, all the spite. Even the better books are boring, at best. The thing I'm not sure of, is Jim Lee onboard with ruining the line, or is he just nodding and collecting and his check? Does he even have the power to stop this, or is a collection of people, watching the money burn and compelling him to do more? Selling everything, to appease people who hate comics, and the happiness of comic fans, is just a terrible business model, as evidenced by the numbers. Just looking through collections, of older stories, even from as recent as 2004, the DCU just looks terrible now. None of the real heroes matter, the premier team is gone, in their place, a collection of parodies, of superheroes, how gay the characters are matters more than skillset, motivation, or morals, even if a halfway decent book sneaks by, the entire DCU is garbage, now.

I'm a huge DC Fan and would love to return but to be frank, they completely deserve it. All their talent is gone or leaves (Such as Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis) and they replace them with people that shouldn't be making Super Hero Comics. I've been reading comic books since 1989. I try to give them chances here and there but their content is pretty bad. Hawkgirl #4 pretty much sums up everything I hate about modern content and ties with the worst comic book I ever read. At the moment I am only reading the Energon-Verse. The content from them is amazing. Its made by talented writers that know and respect how the characters work. Cobra Commander should be higher on that list. Such a weird but incredible series.

They also had new members votes and certificates given to those new said members. That’s what made the team special! Also, use the old villains and tweak them to be dangerous. Wonder Woman- George Perez and Phil Jimenez did the character justice! Use those themes that both men created and keep it!!! I’d even go further and say Rucka’s first run was great and have her as the ambassador of Themyscira. That’s how you get her back to what she’s supposed to be. Bring back Challengers if the Unknown and the old space characters of the 60’s. The DC Universe needs more alien worlds and species.

I just want the next Bronze Age JLA omnibus. Why has it taken this long?!?

[@Jaymalkin980]

I've never really understood DCs popularity. DC has powers with a character attached and Marvel has a character with a power attached.

[@cheeseburgersuperior1874]

Jim Lee is in autopilot.

[@trumangarrick9646]

Justice league usually turns to shit pretty quick, they had the brightnidea last time to hand it over to bendis and he replaced everyone with his shit pet characters, end of the line right after that

[@johnwycough1955]

Several Marvel titles I don't even order a single title. Not a single customer wants it. An example is.... Daredevil, Thor, Dr Strange, FF, Capt Marvel, She-Hulk, Captain Americaand others.

[@johnmoyer9259]

Marvel sales are falling for my store and 3 others i know of. DC comics are absolutely putrid amongst all 4.

[@snakeoilkassett9198]

Maybe (for once) they choose not to publish any new JL books because they just dont have any good stories to publish. Maybe thats a smarter move than to be crushed by low sales numbers and (more) bad PR for their brand?

[@ronaldbourgeois1255]

If they bring back the Justice league I hope it wouldn’t be delayed like JSA.

[@joshphelan6770]

Dude I live in Ontario Canada and I can tell you if you go into a dollar store and buy a DC graphic novel for 4.50 in Canadian lol

[@missmeme3946]

the people who said that dc wanted to raise the sucide squad and remove the justice league and replace them by the sucide squad were right no wonder there are a game and comic for sucide squad and coming anime and between all of them months or year or two they even turned Justice League into villains in the sucide squad game but the fire turned back at the company

[@huntertezz]

Wrong 😅 Dc was replacing the justice league with the Titans...

[@briangrindrod4364]

Supergirl did have a 7 year stint from 1996 - 2003. If memory serves right, Peter David wrote them all.

[@EvandroACruz]

There's not original Supergirl.Was Linda Danvers version of the character. Just Kara Zor-El is the true Supergirl.

[@Rengokuo4o6]

Dark crisis should have led to the reformation of the justice league. Since it was a worldwide event. Well, did it?

[@BrianRidgway-u5g]

Batman First Night has been very enjoyable. The new Hellblazer is incredibly dark but solid. Gargoyles of Gotham very original and exciting. They may not be regular series, but they are fresh, entertaining takes on classic DC characters. But that said, they STILL need a kick-ass Justice League title!

[@Rengokuo4o6]

I really enjoyed Batman offworld NGL. I know most people hate it but i am excited for the next issue.

[@arturoalvarezkawai6773]

Maybe not having an JL book right now isn't such a bad idea, Wes. I mean, at least the can't desecrate our beloved characters if there is no book where they can be desecrated, right?

[@WyllBG3]

Great fan of DC here. Is marvel doing better at the salles? Or also suffering like DC?

[@aqdrobert]

Booster Gold: NO JUSTICE LEAGUE, NO PEACE!

[@Wagsquag]

No jla for 24 months? Hadn't noticed.

[@JJJawor]

If only Jim Lee stayed as an artist then his legacy would be untouched. Now he is looked upon as a artist, sell-out to his "masters at the DC board" and idiot that doesn't care and understand the comic world. Jim only thinks about money with a stupid smile.

[@JDubbsIII]

The sad part about the Aquaman thing is that they didn’t even replace Arthur Curry with the good diversity Aquaman in Kalduram. they replaced him with a shitty ass diversity Aquaman

[@jimthar17]

AquaPERSON

[@JDubbsIII]

@@jimthar17 I probably should have said AquaBeing or AquaSapien

[@ervingarcia874]

Teen Titans comics used to be one of best comics out there. And the Justice League comics are just terrible. The majority of Justice League comics just suck. Outside the 80's Justice League International years and the 90's JLA, and some stand alone/out of continuity stories, Justice League comics are just terrible. DC should hire Kurt Busiek and ask him to do with the Justice League what he did with the Avengers in the late 90's

[@Bamamonts]

I love the DC characters. Superman and Green Arrow have been good stories.

[@ThatJohnKillion1970]

No Justice League books? I understand there is a possible boycott of the trinity, but come on! There are enough characters that existed throughout the history of the team to carry a well-written and enjoyable book.

[@huntertezz]

The titans are basically the justice league now.

[@crzdcolombian]

I stopped buying Batman and Nightwing because of night terrors and TMNT because they ended the series.
