I’ve said it before. It all went down after DC’s Crisis on Infinite Earths. That was the end of comic books as we know it.
That’s why NO ONE buys the new comic books. Here in Hollywood I personally know clerks who told me the same thing and they only come in to buy the old 90’s comics. Heck, they even told me anime stores make more money than them nowadays.
I didn’t mind Post-crisis, not that I’ve spent a lot of time with comics in the last 20 years. However, I think comics have gotten lazy about telling proper storylines.
