the problem is spreading too. now they write to cater to fans. A good writer will look at what the fans are saying to help them make course corrections, but comic writers (the bad ones) write to be loved and they don't care if they actually produce good stories so long as the message boards are filled with praise. What they don't take into account is that people who post on the DCMB are mostly idiots who just want to see their favorite characters looking cool.
