Quote: Disco Steve said: This whole "I'm quitting comics because I don't like one thing" is extremely silly. If you really liked artform of comics, you could find something else to read.
What if you know the next writers are definitely going to carry the device that spoils the characters for you until the end of comicbookdom?
Yes yes, the whole selective continuity comes into play, but despite what you guys say, selective/elective or not, writers do carry on after others. It seems inherent half the time. Especially with the ones I hate. Example: Rucka made a story out of mainstream that I hate. Someone included it because he's Rucka.
Goddamn, your posts are difficult to decipher.
I don't know if the next writer is going to suck. Chances are, he or she's not going to ruin a character for me. These characters are nothing but toys for the writer to play with. One guy can break it, another could fix it. Look at Hawkman, for example.
Better example: Animalman. After Morrison, Milligan, and Delano, that Proust guy made him into a nutty shaman. Many of "us" would say he ruined the character. Where is Animalman now? Is he irreversibly tainted? No. He's back to his superhero status. No harm, no foul.
JLA: How did Kelly/Johns ruin JLA/Avengers?
Personally, I thought Kelly's run on JLA was strong at first (I absolutely loved The Obsidian Age), but soon turned into crap. JLA is one of those things that can't be ruined, I don't think. It's about a team of superheroes. Any superheroes. If anything, the "Detroit Era" ruined JLA forever, and I'm quitting comics because of something that happened decades ago.
