Yeah, it's f*cking pathetic because as MikeandRaph mentioned in another thread, DC already has a TON of legacy characters that have been perfectly set up and established for just this kind of stunt... BUT, as I pointed out in the same thread, they're all too white and too straight to be "allowed" to step into the roles that some of them have been set up for over DECADES of stories already. So we have to whip up a bunch of not-white, not-straight characters out of thin air and cram them down everybody's throats instead when the people reading the books would rather have Wally West and Dick Grayson.
As CKD said, it didn't work for Marvel, because blatant pandering nonsense like this is incredibly transparent, and as Andrew pointed out, deserves to fail because it's sh*tty on its face.
In other notes...
- Man, Cry For Justice was terrible. Good artwork, though. Story was a f*ckin' pooch.
- Man, "Blackest Night" was great. Especially considering how all-encompassing it was. How'd they not screw that up, I wonder? One of the very few "events" that I really don't have any problems with whatsoever.
