User blog comment:Hatebunny/An interesting quote from Alan Moore/@comment-5616357-20121013184643

Comic books are about the characters and some writers are going to be shit, i.e. Rob Liefield with anything his name is attached to. But anyone that decides they are going to switch to Marvel is not a real fan. And good luck switching to Marvel seeing as there are 50 years of comic books leading into what you are reading now and you have the idiotic events that happen twice a year now. That's really offputting especially if you like continuity.

I feel that a refresher is needed every couple of decades since so many radical events happen in comic books to stay competitive. The DC Universe was a mess before the reboot anyway the only good parts were Batman and Green Lantern related. Pretty much everyone had died and returned to life at some point, Wonder Woman didn't know who she was and was wearing pants, the JLA was made up of former sidekicks who were all still basically sidekicks beside Dick, the Teen Titans hadn't evolved in ten years and Titans wouldn't go away who weren't teens, Aquaman sucked, Superman was having a mid-life crisis and Lois Lane was boring as hell! So thank you for the reboot since now I can get excited about comic books again.
