The people who run D.C. comics cannot stop with the gimmicks. There are, I think, some six or seven multi-issue, mega-cross-overs going on right this instant. All of them involving every character in the D.C. universe, and all of them supposedly designed to change everything.
Meanwhile, the best books are those that focus on character development, smart writing and crisp art. Few of these books are coming out of D.C.
So what’s the latest gimmick? They are sending the Man of Steel into space for about a year. Of course, they are doing this gimmick while the titles are undergoing a renaissance.
Just like they did in 1988. And as I recall, they brought him back to take part in what-the-hell-ever super mega cross over was being done THAT year, then had him go off again for a few months once it was over.
Oh-gee-will-he-ever-come-back.
Oh, for the love of God, will someone please rid us of DC Executive Editor Dan DiDio.
