I'm a somewhat new reader, been trying to get into comics for a few years, and I completely relate to what you said about walking into a store, looking at the wall of new issues, and just walking out, defeated. All I want would be maybe an index in the st

Right, there are many readers with your same situation. I understand about the new52 for you, that’s going to be a subject of debate for a long, long time. But I am very hopeful, as I see the gaps start to be filled in a little bit. It’s hard to compete with 70 years of history!

Just a random question, if you had a chance to ship Catwoman with any other character from ANY other comic universe (as long as they were female or could be turned into female), who would it be and why? I ask because there's a Comic Retcon Universe out th

Hmm. I appreciate the question, but unfortunately, this wanders a little closely to participating in fanfiction which I am not allowed to do under any circumstances. I’m sorry! But it sounds fun…good luck!

Maybe others here can make some suggestions?

Batgirl is on the hunt for Catwoman – but who is after Batgirl?

OH THANK GOD!!! SOMEONE WHO ISN’T JUDD WINICK ACTUALLY WRITING SELINA!!!!!

And it’s Gail Simone writing. I’ll have to get this Annual.

This is a ROUSER, folks.

I’m calling it, THE BIRDS OF DISMAY.

;)

Reblogging because SELINA IS ZIPPED UP WHATTTTTTTTTT. D:
….
:D 

Oh, I think you will be very surprised by what Selina gets up to in this issue, in fact. ;)

This really is a barn-burner…it’s three explosive women and they’re standing on a kerosene and gunpowder haystack.

I love my job.

Comic shop employee here, and I gotta say, our sales back up what you're saying. Most of the message board and tumblr fans might prefer legacy characters, but the general public, even if they do find some of them cool, prefer things simple. The DC reboot a

I am pretty sure Marvel Now will be a big success, and the New52 has brought a ton of people into comics stores who weren’t coming.

Again, I like big, messy universes. But there are many people out there who see a wall of comics for the first time and just leave, baffled.

I'd have to say I disagree when it comes to legacy characters making it inaccessible for new readers. I myself am pretty new, I've been reading America comics only about a year? Reading Manga for much longer. When you have that many sidekicks and people wh

Again, it’s not me saying this stuff, it’s much higher at DC than I am, and it does seem to be backed up with numbers.

I say again, ALL the stuff that supposedly turns off new readers is the exact stuff that drew me in (lots of characters, legacies, multiple Earths, continued story, on and on).

But my experience isn’t universal and may be somewhat atypical.
