but they don't hold my attention the way they used to.
But really - I miss the days where I was completely ENGROSSED in a monthly. The trips to the comic shops weren't "when I had time" - it was to the DAY to see what happened next.
I feel a large part of it is due to the constant shift in writers - each new one comes along to "shake things up" and make his mark - and the characterization and development fall through the cracks.
I'm down to 3.
Yep. To me, most modern DC Comics feel like if each title and sometimes each creative team is happening in their own little parralell earth, for all the consistancy (and importance) each story has in relation to the greater whole of the shared Universe.
That is a major reason each "epic" storyline (are there any other kind anymore?) doesn't hold my interest much. There doesn't seem to bee much point anymore. If you miss one Universe shattering event, there will always be another and another and another... that will all ultimately be forgotten as soon as a new arc begins.
