There is visibly a lot to know about this. I suppose you made various good points in features also.

Chuck Liddell will win anyway! I am 100% sure about it! I even put bet on Chuck Liddell, as Franklin is no match for him.

It’s utterly laughable to say that Countdown “ties into hardly Anything” with the existence of Countdown Arena, Countdown to Mystery, Countdown to Adventure, Countdown: the Search for Ray Palmer, Countdown: Lord Havok and the Extremists, Death of the New Gods, Salvation Run, and the Countdown plotlines dependant on reading the Lightning Saga, Amazons Attack, the Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding, the death of Bart Allen, not to mention spoiling the Kyle Rayner and Superboy Prime plotlines of Sinestro Corps war, hijacking All New Atom… need I go on?

World War Hulk and Civil War definitely had a few too many tie-ins, but to try to hold up Countdown as a counterpoint to that is fucking ludicrous at this point.

I feel DC is putting more into the future of stories, than Marvel’s “1,000 book tie-in” for every event that they seem to think of.

Civil War was NOT worth the wait (IMO) and killing Captain America was a poor, last minute decision.

Plus the Initative was one big joke.

THEN, we go straight into another giant event. World War Hulk was so boring …”Hulk smash this, Hulk smash that” …and of all characters, the Hulk gets taken out by the Sentry. (a whiney little pussy)

and Then! what do we learn about the future of the Marvel Universe / get forwartd to in 2008?

SKRULLS!!!

THAT was my jumping off point.

Lastly, One More Day …need I say more?
Peter and MJ, two young chacters who not only willingly sacrifice their own relationship, but everything they have JUST to save a dieing old woman? an old woman who Marvel will most likly kill of in the next couple years anyway.

Not. Worth. It.

HOWEVER! being the Mutant fan that I am. I am loving Messiah Complex …but, very scared as to where they are going with the characters after the conclusion.

I’m dropping mostly ALL of my marvel titles starting this month.

Make Mine NOT Marvel.

I’ll stick to DC and my weekly series’ that ties into hardly Anything, thank you very much!

Both companies had a bad year. Delays, Big Events overtaking real storytelling, editorial control ruining good writers, and tons of pointless deaths. The only difference between the Big Two is that Marvel has been dark for a long time and DC’s descent into abject depression is recent.

I really like the Green Arrow/Black Canary book, partly just out of relief after the Wedding Special.

Death of Captain America was a brilliant move, but it made Marvel reckless hence One More Day which has made me want one of those Mary Jane statues even more than before.

Wow, it was a busy year, eh?

Now, Wildstorm’s the failure. Vertigo’s pretty strong, imo.

Vertigo has DMZ, Hellblazer, Scalped, Loveless, The Un-Men, Fables, Jack of Fables, The Exterminators, Crossing midnight, Army@Love, American Virgin, Testament, and Northlanders (which I actually didn’t like that much, but I trust Brian Wood). It has a ton to offer, actually.

And I strongly disagree that GA/BC is a failure. Most critics have hailed it as a success, even.

Vertigo has Scalped.

It’s neither horror nor fantasy-based, and it shows that Vertigo can evolve into something more.

Why aren’t you reading Scalped?

Comics are better now than 10-15 years ago, and there are quite a few titles that I look forward to.

Though I remain a DC die-hard, Marvel did a pretty good job with the death of Captain America and spectacularly failed with “One More Day.” The Joss Whedon-penned Astonishing X-men is my only House of Ideas title.

DC, likewise, did well with the “Sinestro Corps War,” the conclusion of 52, and improving its overall line of titles (with All Star Superman, Booster Gold, Wonder Woman, Action, Batman, The Brave and the Bold, Green Lantern, and The Spirit). Its failure with Countdown, Amazons Attack, The Flash, and Green Arrow/Black Canery have been interesting to watch.

I’m also surprised that no one’s mentioned the decline of Vertigo which once produced some of the edgiest horror and fantasy-based titles around and seemingly have nothing to offer after Y: The Last Man ends.
