Agreed. It makes me sad DC has not done a Flash Bronze Age run yet and I really would love to read it. Getting to read the entire Silver Age from start to finish in a short timespan was a real treat.

I especially love how they encompass every issue in order.

 

I agree. I'd love a Bronze Age Green Lantern. We do finally have a third Bronze Age Justice League of America coming out in a month or so, and a third Bronze Age Brave and the Bold omni, so maybe there is hope for Flash and GL.

 

Oh shit, I have to still pick up Volume 2 for Brave and the Bold.

It's going to be a while at the slow pace they are releasing them, but I also can't wait for Bronze Age Batman as to me that is when Batman started being good.

 

DC Universe Senior VP Sam Ades Quits DC/Warner Bros After 21 Years

 

Holy shit, I had not heard about Jamie S Rich leaving. That is a huge loss for DC. When are things finally going to calm down??

 

When they stop getting traded around from one owner to the next.

 

Jim Lee:

 

Okay I'll buy how is any of this his fault?, when it's very likely he could be the next person to go and DC doesn't improve.

 

Good. That’s what he gets for being the yes man and pretending everything’s fine. I’d call him a tool, but that would imply he was ever useful to anyone.

 

I asked a simple question and all I get is ranting. 

 

DC is in trouble for a wide variety of reasons which they had nothing to do with. The wave after wave of mass layoffs came from AT&T (and were spread across ALLLLLL of Warner Media, not just DC Comics), not any internal decision making on DC's part, and was then compounded by covid last year. And blaming Jim Lee in any way is infantile. He has to maintain public confidence in the company any way he can, whether or not it's justified, for the sake of the people who do still have jobs there. Real life isn't as simple as a comic book story.

 

DC was in trouble even before COVID. And most of their problems were self inflicted (no thanks to Warner Bros.). It’s not surprising that AT&T wanted to jump ship. Jim Lee’s “public confidence” probably came from his own company bombing before moving to DC. The only good thing about all this is people not buying a single thing he’s saying.

 

Yes, I just said that in the post you quoted. There were mass firings across all Warner Media subsidiaries, not just DC Comics. And they were instigated by AT&T, who stretched themselves thin. Nothing to do with DC. There was no change in sales at DC to precipitate the firings. The opposite, if anything. AT&T's moves had nothing to do with performance at DC or WB Games or HBO or anything else. AT&T overextended, and then looked for the easiest way to free up cash so they could protect their own execs' golden parachutes. And the easiest was was to lay off thousands of people from the subsidiaries they held.

THEN, covid hit and made everything worse, tanking the US comics industry as a whole. The shutdown killed a lot of shops, and Diamond ate it. At that point, every publisher was making desperation moves, not just DC.

lol no. If you don't like their recent output, that has nothing to do with anything. Your taste does not dictate how the world goes.

Yeah, maybe you'd be happy if a few hundred more people lost their jobs.

 

Man, these comics threads sure are a hoot.

 

So yeah, the Joker book still entertains me every month, i love what they are doing with Gordon.

 

Yeah, this book is on a whole other level from pretty much any other in-continuity series DC is currently publishing (other than possibly Nightwing). Writing, art, coloring, lettering, all of it is 10/10.

 

Pride Month: Behind Marvel and DC’s Comics – The Hollywood Reporter

Indeed, DC’s Pride anthology is just one in a number of releases tied to the DC Pride label; the miniseries Crush & Lobo launched last week, and it will be joined in September by Aquaman: The Becoming, a new series by Brandon Thomas and Diego Olortegui, with covers by David Talaski, and starring Jackson Hyde, who’s previously appeared in earlier Aquaman comics as well as the Young Justice animated series. (THR can exclusively reveal the cover, above.)

 

So Kaldor will be Aquaman in this miniseries?

 

Looks like he'll be sharing the "Aquaman" title with Arthur Curry.
