Daredevil scrapped with issue #512

[Sweet Rabbit]

I know, right! Thats what drove me out...too much crappy art and empty stories...and there's all this untapped talent out there. SDCC is littered with all these talented artist and prolific storytellers who can't so much as get noticed by the Marvel/DC big wigs.

Its a real shame how they even do the porfolio reviews

the big 2 won't let anybody new in a upset the status quo

The trick is old. It's been told many times.

It's currently being told in:

Captain America
Iron Man
Avengers: Prime
Scarlett
Incognito
Weapon X: Wolverine
Thor
Secret Avengers
Thunderbolts
X-Factor

All of the above, have won numerous awards from Eisner's to online journal awards and are all critically favored.

DC, however, has not "seen" the trick in many years. There most recent attempt was DC Zombi....er...ahem...Blackest Night.

DC really hasn't delivered much worth mentioning in their primary universe in quite awhile. I thought All Star Superman, though only a short 12 issue run and in no way part of the normal DC universe, was absolutly fantastic and some of the best superhero storytelling I've ever read... Morrison and Quitely did wonders with Supes.... Miller and Lee did wonders with Batman too, just not in the same way:

Horrible.

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Horrible.

Yeah, Miller hasn't been good in years. His best-most recent work was Sin City. Which is over a decade old now. His Daredevil run is legendary, as is DKR and Year One.

300 was not bad(the movie was better) and Ronin is okay for ****s and giggles.

DC HAS been putting out quality for years, it's just too bad that MOST of it comes from their Vertigo line.

American Vampire, DMZ, IZombie, etc.

Someone needs to shoot Quesada. He's been nothing but poison to the Marvel universe.

I loathe Joephisto.

What is everyone's favorite comic out right now? Just wondering b/c i stopped reading when a week of comics became more expensive than a week of weed. lol

I'd say BPRD is my favorite at the moment. It's been a couple of years since I've picked up a DC or Marvel comic.

 

[devlinboy]

Good to know, I pick up some stuff here and there. Walking Dead, Preacher back issues. Soon i will read Sandman, that has been on my read list for years lol.

Juan Jose Ryp got in - check out the last two issues of Moon Knight for something a little different art-wise (for Marvel anyway).

His style is a little too detailed for some, but I love his work. The stuff he's done for Avatar comics has been fantastic as well.

There isn't a single comic in your list that I haven't quit. They're all garbage IMHO. The standout in craptasm is Cap. If they're winning awards now, I'd say the judges are French.

Unfortunately, not unlike diarrhea, it comes in waves. One of the biggest things I can't stand is when a company uses a hot artist to sell a weak story. I guess there are people out there who're dense enough to buy into it but it never worked for me. Great art and great story are best, but even the crappiest art can be salvaged by a great story. Valiant comics had great success in the 90's off of that very principle.

Ditto! I'm reading all of these and can say they're incredibly entertaining and well written. I do agree there are alot of Marvel books that are...questionable at best. But that does not mean "Marvel" in general is going down the drain.

 

[Kibishii]

Things like this are one of the reasons I quit collecting comics. It's a gimmick!

Someone needs to shoot Quesada. He's been nothing but poison to the Marvel universe.

I quit collecting over a year ago and I am glad that I did. I enjoyed some of the X-Men runs, Civil War, Dark Avengers, etc, but eventually every thing turned into another cheap gimmick.

 

[traylorc]

I'm just tired of all the damn "events" staged by both DC and Marvel. It's one damn event after another. Take an average title that is tied to a big event during a given year. At least 2-3 of those issues deal with getting ready for the event, 3-4 of those issues deal with the ongoing event and 2-3 issues deal with the aftermath of the event. So for any given year, your favorite title may have 2-3 issues annually of non-event material.

This doesn't take into account the 3-4 mini-series that run concurrently with the event, the actual event book itself, and the 8-10 aftermath one-shots which attempt to explain what actually happened in the event, while prepping you for the next damn event.

Lastly, is if freaking possible for Wolverine and Spider Man not to be members of every super group? The only super group those two don't belong to is the Super Friends. But just you wait...their appearance in that group will be the next big "event".

This news will either put people at ease or add some fuel to the fire...

At Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend, Marvel announced "Daredevil: Reborn," a new limited series starting in January.

Sounds like what people expected...

didn't they already do this with the born again story?

 

[Buttmunch]

So, typical comic book gimmick. End a long-running comic and start a new one in a few months with issue number 1 (where presumably the hero will find "redemption" for whatever this shadowland business is, or will be "reborn" somehow, possibly with a new person taking on the personae or with him wearing a new outfit) in order to temporarily increase hype and boost sales.

Yawn.
