I hope so cause looking at the bridge right now it looks decayed, it could break at anytime.

I mean if you call new young kids, 30-40 year old's who have been established already, go ahead. I maybe sulking at the back, but it was for the people who didn't know when to tell the bus driver to stop driving off the cliff.

@Tupka217 I mean you're not wrong. If DC fades away, it's their own fault. I'm just saying how we as consumers could just speak up. I mean if you care about something, you want it to do well, you do the best possible, if it doesn't work out, then well goodbye DC.

Sure, or we can let it go because at some point it's too late. We're steering out of control, and no one cares to question issues involving the plane and it's members, so we might as well crash.

Another analogy: You have no experience steering an airplane. The pilot is steering properly and the plane is visibly going down. Are we to assume because we are not particularly knowledgeable in the field that we can't criticize it. If a doctor is improperly conducting surgery on you, do we not assume he was a bad doctor and something went wrong.

Buying this book will make DC complacent. Many of these big companies look at the brands and how well they sell. If you blindly buy a book because you want to support the industry, hey it's up to you, but the consequences also include them changing the format for the comics and books, media they cover in the future. In their head, they see that this book is selling well, and what makes them profit will be the standard. Sure you'll see your typical comic, but more of these books. That costs a lot of money and at a point, people will say enough and stop buying the books out of support. What happens then is they lose money. They paid for the writer, the supplies, the licensing fees, etc. If it was online, they still have to pay just not for printing and supplies, they just get added on for the domain and fees they have to pay for the countries/states for online retail. Depends on each state/country, but they charge based on the number of sales of the product, this includes digital retail, where you get the digital version of the comic(s).

Doesn't make sense to discuss yet? I'll use an analogy here to represent the issue. You're in a smoking building, do you wait until it burns no matter how small it is, or do you try to solve the issue or get of the building. Even if it is a false alarm, there is evidence that may indicate some sort of scenario that can be avoided if you act sooner. I don't want to see DC become a fading company. The best way to sort this out, is by pushing back on any issues relating to it's demise. We did it with the New 52, we can do it here. They can sell there comics online, but if no one is interested in the story, it won't help them. Don't forget pirated comic sites and Youtubers who read the comics to audiences. A lot of money is being loss, and DC is on life support right now.

@EchoEmpire I'm not implying about the agenda part. I'm saying how DC's writers and artist hires have been lacking. If you haven't realized how the state of comics is dying, sure we can argue about digital comics, but the point is, is it profitable. If you haven't noticed, we're living in wild times right now, and if you haven't notice that AT&T, the parent company, is currently selling subsidiaries that are losing them money. Even a single cent spent on a project like this could put more financial constraints on DC. I don't really care, what agenda they push, but I care about if the legacy of stories will continue or die out. You can be optimistic, but the reality is COVID-19 has put constraints on these companies. Let's not forget that Jim Lee was removed from his publishing role, and put as a liaison for Warner Media. CFO Kim Williams, Bob Harras, and several editors were laid off, not even including the 600 employees also laid off. If you really think they are still going strong, none of those events would have occurred. The state of DC right now is incredibly weak. Not to mention AT&T laid off many people working at Warner and is currently in the process of selling CNN. You can sell it, but here are some scenarios: 1) The value of DC is too low to be worth it as the case of CNN is currently. 2) They get picked up, but what happens is a negative revenue result, which either goes to a resell or hardship and financial issues. 3) It does better to be under a different parent organization or ownership. 4) Current lack to hire and afford staffing and supplies causes it to be a liability instead of an asset. 5) Stays with AT&T, sees either net loss, growth, or mediocre performance in sales.

@Fatebuoy I hope your right, I just don't want DC to go broke because of this. It's also expensive to buy all the upcoming comics of Future State and that could turnoff fans. I'm just concerned in the time where comics are hard to sell, let alone meet company standards.

My biggest problem with this upcoming event was the lack of build up and this event fatigue. We had so many events already, we barely got out of Dark Metal to get into Death Metal. We also get the lack of build up for the upcoming event, the time frame between January and February is just to short of a time to develop the new characters and explain the aftermath of Death Metal. Personally I don't think Future State is a bad idea, but the timing was undesirable. Also unless Future State is like an alternative universe, the characters will stick around defeating the purpose of Rebirth which was to bring back old relationships, characters, ideas. But so far it's been less of that and more of events bringing old characters/teams back and forgetting those characters/teams after. I'm not trying to say DC is doing bad with this event, I'm just saying they need to slow the pacing down and focus on individual story arcs rather than crossovers and events so that it can lead up to Future State rather than a time skip.

I would add Abigail Arcane, she's really under use and I think she would have great motivation to join, being in conflict with the rot. Also can someone tell me what comic and issue is the one where Anton Arcane takes over earth with the rot, I read it along time ago and forgot the issue.

Thank you for your statement, I understand how you guys feel, and will try my best to be mindful of my posts. I want to clarify the reason that I had posted what I felt was due to many reviewers commenting on Doomsday Clock issue #12 and Thor, where they reference the parallel heroes of both DC and Marvel universes. I am still new to the community, so forgive me for any errors or repeat content, I want to have fun discussing with other users, but I also don't want others to feel tired or placed in a negative mindset. I want to make it clear that my intentions are to get people's opinion on a subject matter, as I want to know how the core fanbase of DC feels. I respect all opinions, more importantly thank you for reaching out and giving a clear statement.

Not you guys, I'm talking about the people saying this again? I love DC, but the community in this fandom is just turning me off. Look don't take this personally, but I feel like this fandom just has a group that is closed off, I'm trying to interact with people, but the admin and some longer users are not making it very engaging for new users, look criticism is fine, but they are just negative.

Come on guys whether you think this is a repeat post, can you be respectful, I just wanted to know how people feel on this subject. You didn’t have to look at it, if you’re going to be so negative.
