Lots of Jobs Gone at DC Comics and DC Universe

Kinda like when Windows took over as the parent operating system for IBM-compatible computers from DOS.

And also didn't Marvel consolidate all their stuff practically under the Marvel Entertainment headed by Feige?

I think so, but Marvel is doing significantly better than DC. Even outside of the movies, Marvel has been producing a few amazing comics. Most of it is trash, of course, but Immortal Hulk and the House of X storylines are both excellent. They have 38 running lines, counting Star Wars, and I could solidly recommend four or five of them. That sounds bad, but for DC I couldn't recommend a single one of them. Not a single, solitary one. And it's been this way since New 52 - which may go down as the literal worst idea in comic history.

The new buzzword is transmedia and all, but I think it just boils down to DC comics suck ass through a straw.

I think they'd do better getting together and doing independent publishing.

Have I ever told you the story of Image comics?

TLDR: Shaky results, but some absolute gems produced.

The biggest problem is Diamond. Diamond is just such a choke hold on this. It's an actual monopoly, and as a monopoly it has every fucking problem of one.

I have heard stories about Diamond...
