I think I've said everything I need to say in this last post. I'll only address a few points from your other posts:
Quote: ManofTheAtom said: And there are a lot of comics that do leave a mark and that doesn't mean they're bad.
Comics that become memorable do it for a reason.
Those that don't do it because they aren't worth remembering.
Watchmen left no mark in continuity. Neither did DKR. Some of the great works in comics get reverted by other writers within a year: that doesn't make the stories any less memorable.
Quote: Crisis didn't erase the past to make way for good stories.
(and I just know someone is gonna pick on that to say how much the post Crisis stories sucked...)
Crisis erased the past to FIX it, because it was broken.
To make way for good stories. Good stories is the purpose of the whole thing. Otherwise this wouldn't exist.
