Honestly, for this reader–DC dropped him. Other than reading a few issues of Earth-2 (to make sure there was nothing there for me) I have been happily DC Comic free for two years.

I think Geoff Johns has this big picture in his head of how the New 52 universe works and is put together. I’m sure he knows all of the connectors and the appearances and the history. The problem is so little of this has been revealed to the reader, and what has is just so jumbled. So much of the impetus for the new JLA is based around stuff that supposedly happened in that 5-year Justice League gap between their first and second story arcs. Since we don’t really know what happened and we didn’t experience it, the emotion behind this new JLA is lost. For example, Johns has put a lot of emphasis on the relationship between Steve Trevor and Wonder Woman, but we’ve never actually seen them together, especially not in her series. We’ve only been told that it happened.

Sorry, I meant to say “almost impossible NOT to have continuity problems…”

I, for one, don’t mind the pacing at all. The New 52 Universe is, after all, a pretty big place, with a lot of moving parts. It takes time to build, and I’d rather this “grand plan” carefully constructed, rather than being rushed.

Although it’s almost impossible to have some continuity conflicts, the amount of time DC is taking to build a cohesive universe can also reduce the continuity snafus that may otherwise come back to haunt them later.

Let’s all be patient. Let the editors plan and the writers write accordingly.

Gramme didn’t you just say int tge article below this one that you would like a universe to remain steady for more than 12 months. Which is it? I would hope you recognize the split personality like arguments your making seeing as these two articles are posted so close together.

Readers may not have stuck around for much of the New 52! but they did for everything Johns works on. He and Lemire seem to be working on turning the Justice League books into DC’s connective tissue. With Sterling Gates taking over Vibe, Peter Tomasi free of his Green Lantern duties and 5 or 6 empty slots waiting to be filled, I think/hope/fear we might soon get a Justice League Line as big as the Bat-line and as connected as the X-men line.

I’m not sure Trinity War is going to be about Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman fighting. It seems more to do with Pandora, Phantom Stranger and The Question( who just showed up in Didio and Dematteis’ Phantom Stranger).
