In Curran we Trust.

“It always warms my heart a bit that the â€œComic Should Be Goodâ€ crew always seem to hate the good comicsâ€¦”

Yeah, cause Infinite Crisis and Civil War fucking rock, and are the new Watchmen.

It always warms my heart a bit that the “Comic Should Be Good” crew always seem to hate the good comics…

There seems to be something vaguely metatextual about people bashing this post for ‘ignoring the great books’ that Marvel and DC have put out lately. Why not go comment on one of the great posts here, then, instead of knocking this one?

I love DC, but I still thought it was pretty funny.

Kinda pointless? And outside of the bit about Wizard and Jessica Alba pics, that wasn’t really funny at all.

You know, maybe it was just me, but this sounds a bit too much like every whiney comment I’ve read on every single message board. The Didio/Quesada bashing is getting really old, especially considering the people doing it are still out there buying their copies of New Avengers or Infinite Crisis or Civil War reliigously. Maybe its a self loathing issue, but its getting pretty lame. Plus it completely ignores the really great books DC and Marvel put out that no one is reading like Criminal, Agents of Atlas, Manhunter, etc.

Garbonzo beat me to “Best Post Ever.” Why, it’s the complete opposite of that Leon Spinks/She-Hulk crossover.

Brad,

You took “Use the Farce” to heart.

OK, this post was fun, but really, was it that bad? There still were good comics too and was it actually as bad as the 90s? You can’t expect every book to be as good as, well, the good ones, these companies have to make some money too.

Compare it to the movie or music industry, sure they put out boatloads of crap that caters to the lowest common denominator. They also put out good stuff, just stick to that. I never understood readers who buy everything just because it has ‘Marvel’ stamped on it and the n complain about contents. Read it because you like it, not because it’s published by whatever company or features whatever character you choose to follow. Support the comics you actually like and comics will (as they should) be good.

…did you write this just for me? Did you? because if you did, you totally just reignited my desire to moan furiously about all things Didio, bless his cotton socks.

Best post ever, incidentally. FTW.

This is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever read. The only practical joke I perceive going on right now is the announcement in the link above. On a business side of things, this was just a foolish announcement to make on so many levels no matter what the truth of the situation. Then again, no matter what the truth of the situation I’m sitting back laughing… well snickering more than laughing, but hey! Who’s counting?

I agree with David; earlier April Fools Days are another sign of global warmning.

It’s funny because it could almost make sense of the last bunch of years.

Or…is it SAD because it could almost make sense of the last bunch of years.

Hmmm… I’m going to go with SAD.

I’m not sure if I read the same thing that you guys did because I missed the funny part.

Hee hee, milk is coming out my nose! No seriously. It was very brave of Mr. Quesada and Mr. Didio to own up to this merry little prank. Does this mean that we can have all those dead JLI’ers back now?

You laugh now, but once all your favorite sky-writing becomes inhumanly British and starts spouting off ridiculous dialogue, we’ll see who’s laughing then.
