>>152100036No
Annihilation bitch
Yeah.
>>152100075Non-terrible, though.>>152100087How?
i think lower stakes one like forever evil are pretty decent usually
>>152100095>thoughThere it is.
>>152100036Infinite crisis was great, final crisis was good.
>>152100316No
>>152100036>it's another "OP doesn't realize 4chan isn't YouTube and engagement won't actually get him any money" episode
>>152100881Concession accepted.
>>152100036It is, but not with our current methods.
>>152100036It depends>what do you want out of an event comic>what is it you currently don't like with event comics>what is an event you do like, and what was it that made it great (in your opinion)etc.
I suppose. They require a bit more planning and thought though. Usually the problem is that some editor or big shot drops an idea on everyone's laps that they now have to drop what they're doing and dance around. Blackest Night was a big climax to what Johns was doing on GL. It also helps if your event doesn't really get in the way of someone else's stuff. >>152100075Annihilation was off it's own sector of space so it could focus and was cool. But yeah, the problem with events was always just how in the way they got really.
>>152100036define event comic
>>152102267Big loud story that involved multiple crossover titles and tie in books.
>>152100036An event comic should be the end of an entire shared universe. It should be the biggest and best comic in that shared universe. That's not gonna happen.
>>152100036I liked Infinite Crisis. It was DC playing to its strengths, using its deep character rosters and embracing old continuity. And instead of doubling down on Batman and Superman, they pushed the hell out of minis designed to create new teams and books in neglected areas of the DCU. Without OMAC and Villains United and Day of Vengeance we wouldn't have gotten Checkmate and Secret Six and Shadowpact. The only failed book was Rann/Thanagar War.
