Who is the man now, dog? <BR/><BR/>DC's back list is much stronger than Marvel's, with at tons of classic titles to choose from, many of which you identified. <BR/><BR/>The problem seems to be the lack of "classic"runs in the comics. Almost all of the DC classics sit outside the mainstream runs, whether it is Batman Year One/Dark Knight Returns, All-Star Superman, Watchmen, etc, etc, etc. <BR/><BR/>Aside from Green Lantern, I can't think think of any current title that is properly using its characters (and The Sinestro War does not hold up well with re-reading. Seriously, go reread it, it reads like Secret Wars). And to see that we have the Red/Purple/Violet/Dead Lanterns to look forward to through the summer of '09 does not hearten me.<BR/><BR/>My fervent hope is that DC and Marvel are both able to make their flagship titles into "event" titles. Prior to launching a 2nd X-men title in '91, the third week of the month was always an event, because that is when X-Men came out. <BR/><BR/>Make your current comics the classics! Make the stories exciting and engaging, be flexible in the writing to make a six part storyline read well individually as well as a whole.Phil Southernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002953193204650086noreply@blogger.com
