Going your separate ways, huh? Maybe it's for the best. I still have a little bit of a "crisis phobia". Can't bring myself to read any of them. Well, unless you count RoBW as a crisis. But it's more personal, like a mid-life crisis. I can handle that. Ha! Going your separate ways, huh? Maybe it’s for the best.

This is an interestinig way of showing the love towards Brightest Day while scolding it for not being what it could be. Very nice.

I picked up the a FCBD copy and thought it was smart and funny and I was smitten with Mark and Abby. (That I am a fan of Lois and Clark certainly helped). I just picked up the first trade and it was an equally fun read. I’m in full agreement with your review.

Peterman Mon, 26 Jul 2010 15:53:26 +0000 http://girls-gone-geek.com/?p=1253#comment-1269 This happens routinely with television shows I love. Seriously; who are the people propping up "Two and a Half Men" while "Community" and "Parenthood" struggle for a respectable audience? I guess it depends on what people want out of entertainment, comics included. And the sad fact is that recognizable titles and event comics will always sell, whether they're good or not. The only thing we can do is to get street-level evangelical about it and tell friends about the alternative books we're reading that are worth their time.

We'll see what happens. There's been no official announcement yet. Fingers crossed, but still dubious. Yes, we geeks like to think we’s an exclusive bunch.

Madame Xanadu appeared for years in mainstream books. Perhaps DC has a plan for her in the mainstream DCU. Admittedly, that's not likely. She'll probably be pulled back to the DCU and then only appear once ever three years in some ridiculous crossover.
