You're oversimplifying things. You call readers like me "casual readers" but it's more complicated than that. If I buy few comics it's because there's few good comics to buy. What I really am is a selective reader.
If the one shots and the minis, wether they are within or outside continuity, are the only quality comics, then I'll buy those. But I'd rather have an ongoing series of quality comics.
Now, this is where it becomes a problem for you. I think that for a comic to be good the writer must have no limitations (besides the obvious moral ones... and even for those there's Vertigo). I think continuity CAN be a limitation so, sometimes, it should be forgotten. You think it can NEVER be forgotten within an ongoing title, because ongoing titles are for you and only for you. THAT is why you're an egomaniac.



And you're still an ignorant ass.

You can keep using "good" and "bad" as a standard as long as you want, it still won't make them one.

They are PREFERENCES, not standards that everyone has to follow.

Just because for your continuity stories aren't good doesn't make it so.

When a writer works in an IN CONTINUITY story, then he should respect it.

If he doesn't want to do that, then he shouldn't work with continuity, no one is forcing him.

Of course, the problem isn't that writers don't want to work with continuity. The problem is that writers only want to work with the continuity they like.

In Waid's case, it's the Silver Age, which is why when given the chance to revive it, he took it.

Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
