Oct. 8th, 2013 07:07 amI *kind of* get how The Republicans feel right now, because I'm an old-skool Comics Fan.
We old timers, for the most part, don't like the new comics that are out there much at all. Obama and The Affordable Health Care Act? Their Dan Didio and the "New 52 DCU" - a terrible new version of things that we've always loved and invested in, a terrible new version that we think ruins the entire legacy of what's come before. Most of us are willing to just take it, buying our comics month after month, maybe dropping a bunch of titles, maybe just switching over to back-issues only... and then we have our extremely vocal nut-jobs who will rant on and on about how this is the fall of the entire comics industry and legacy! They demand the head of Dan Didio on a pike! WE MUST PUT AN END TO THESE TERRIBLE COMICS AND RETURN TO OUR ROOTS!!!
But the numbers don't lie. Sales at DC Comics are up - WAY UP. The people have spoken, they really *do* like their comics like this! Despite how much I hate them and think that they're ruining what was once a great and noble hobby, they're what the people want these days.
Which is why, of course, the next logical step is for me to go find a way to shut down DC comics till they give in to - I'm sorry, "Negotiate" - things the way I want them to be.
