And that happens all the time without continuity being doomed and gloom and ignored.



Nu-uh. Continuity can remain intact. As the writer chooses to ignore what goes before, you may choose to ignore what the writer is doing and wait for the next guy to come along. It won't kill you to be without a comic for as long as the guy's run lasts... right?

JMS does it in Spider-Man.

He respects what came before, doesn't ignore it, doesn't address it and doesn't invalidate it.

You don't like writers like JMS and Geoff Johns, who respect continuity by using it and by not using it.



I had no fucking idea! I thought I liked them both. Thanks for telling me, I was thinking about buying the Wonderland Flash TPB.
Lemme make this real simple: There's A and there's B. You like B and despise A. I like A and B. I like A a little better than B, but that doesn't mean I don't respect B and enjoy the occasional B comic. In fact, some of my favorite runs are B comics.

You prefer writers like Morrison and Waid who make a big deal about who continuity has reached out from comic books and is chooking the creativety out of them making it so they can't breath.



Me liking Waid and Morrison has nothing to do with that. I like them for the same reason I like JMS and Johns: they tell good stories. A story can be one issue or a 30 issue run, I don't care. As long as it's good that's a good writer in my book.

Quote:

Well, choke away I say. If these writers can't produce good stories using continuity (or not using it ) then they should look for work elsewhere...
