[quote name='GhostShark']I've never had a problem keeping track of Marvel books. I guess that's just me, I suppose.
And if anything, DC's new style of "events" are harder to follow since they don't have their own series anymore and they're spread across multiple books like "Wrath of the First Lantern," "Rot World," and that one between JL Dark and I, Vampire. Trinity War is doing that, but I don't read Justice League so I am basically forced to buy that if want to get the whole story. As compared to the old way of events where I could just buy the 6-12 issue event and select what tie-ins I wanted, if any. That was simple and it should stay that way. Though it seems Marvel is semi-adopting that now with a nearby Captain Marvel event so I will have to buy Avengers Assemble. And that sucks.[/QUOTE]
I don't usually have a problem with it, but with stuff like Civil War or Dark Reign there was a ton of inconsistencies that drove me nuts and I felt may have been resolved if they laid out a better road map for how to read the comics. I forget the exact event that it bothered me the most in, but whatever it was the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man titles directly contradicted each other in huge ways and it drove me crazy trying to make heads or tails of what was happening. I suppose that's partly my fault for attempting to read every tie-in, though.
I think Rotworld and Wrath of the First Lantern is pretty easy to keep up with. There's not really any lag between the books involved so you can read pretty seamlessly month to month. I actually prefer this method as to how they usually treat major events since it seems to be over faster (at least to me). It's not really a new way/old way. Comics have been doing this kind of thing for quite some time. It's like the Sinestro Corps War or War of the Green Lanterns.
[quote name='bardockkun']The only good thing to come out of 90's Superman, well, besides that Superman cover where you peel and stick on Lobo and Superman fighting all around the cover. That was pretty gimmicky, but goddamn awesome.
And if I question Marvel or DC continuity, then that just kind of opens up a rabbit hole of questions that continue to make no sense. So I basically read the story, but shut off a good chunk of my brain these days.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you so hard on all of that.
[quote name='Clak']Now I see what you guys were saying Zombies goes down hill pretty fast, they can't even keep their facts straight, like with the whole not feeling pain thing.[/QUOTE]
YEP! It gets pretty bad in the end. It's depressing. I wish they would bring it back and do it right.
