To clarify my point: In order to be more "diverse," DC has four choices:
but the claim wasn't just for "diverse", it was to "modern[ize]". that's why i mentioned the core three; superman, batman, and wondie, all getting revised looks. also, "diverse" didn't just have to mean "make people different color", you rascist.

But the crossovers tend to appeal, not to the new reader, but to the fanboy market (which as you said is the market DC needs to stand up to make this work). And while those crossovers might gin up sales on some titles during the event, the overall sales of comic books continues to decline in the era of the crossover.
i don't disagree - the crossovers are spikes; an effort to bandaid the problem. my argument is that if DC is working on actually addressing the problem, they wont need the bandaids.
