So whoever doesn't agree with absolute continuity should be out of the main comics? Why the fuck? Because YOU don't like them? Well, buddy, I might. Hundreds, millions of others might not give a shit about continuity and like the stories and want them in the main comics. Have you ever thought about that? Obviously not, you only think of what you want.



Where are they?

Where are all of these hundreds of people that don't care about continuity?

I have new for you, continuity or not, those people aren't buying comics.

People that like continuity LEFT comics the moment the publishers stopped using it and NO ONE came out to replace them.

You do understand that the only reason to a story in the main comic is for continuity, right?

Mxy, I really think that you're loosing perspective of this.

You're argueing that writers should be able to tell out of continuity stories in the main titles so that people that don't like continuity can buy them.


Do you see how illogical that is?

I mean, what kind of random reader would pick up a comic with three-digit numbering?

Doesn't it make more sense to tell out of continuity stories in separately titled one shots so that random readers can just pick them up without having to be overwhelmed by the high numbering of the ongoing series?

Leave the ongoing series to those of us that are gonna go out of their way to buy the comics month in and month out, and make separate one shots for the random readers that just want something to read to kill time.

The odds of a reader that isn't interested in continuity buying a three-digit numbered comic are pretty slim to begin with (why do you think Marvel keeps relaunching their titles?)

I don't see why continuity fans and non-continuity fans can't get what they both want.

Ongoing series for continuity fans (those that are sure to buy the comic every month), and one shots and three-four issue minis for the non-continuity fans, those of us that only buy a comic every three months.

Everyone wins...

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