Just could've done without the misuse of "literally kills me" which unfortunately has been even more called out by using it in this article's title! Arggh. If it was literally killing Brian, he'd be dead by now. It's figuratively killing him, sure, fine. But there's no literal death that I know of here. Great article, as usual from Mr Hibbs.

An unfortunately both companies, though Marvel more than DC, make it more about the creators than the characters. I want to read good stories about Batman and Wonder Woman and Avengers and JLA. As long as they're well written and entertaining with good art, I don't care who did it. There are very few creators who cause me to pause and take note (George Perez being the biggest exception for me) but even then I don't buy everything he does. I'm more likely to check out a Batman product or Wonder Woman appearance because I like them. It boarders on arrogant sometimes when I skip an ad about "young guns" or Grant Morrison does this that and everything else with the DCU. Big whup. I want a good story and too many of these creators don't deliver that. Late books and missed schedules and sub-par producs drive me away in an instant, and judging by the crowd at my store, there are no new readers lining up to take my spot. MZ He’s right.

Which is why joked about Flashpoint #5 being only book out on august 31. Really egg in the face of DC if that is late. Don't even forget how they treat characters or there fans by doing the stuff they do to the characters. Late books is one of big problems.

Every comic shop owner in my area has the same complaint about late books. There are a few loyal people who will pick it up no matter what, but if you want a regular fan base, you have to put the books out consistently. There’s a lot of truth in what he’s saying.
