If Countdown disregarded Morrison's direction because they weren't informed enough about it, that just comes back to Berganza, I'd say.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734361945694475981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-38877835490415346952008-06-09T19:41:00.000-04:002008-06-09T19:41:00.000-04:00I read a lot of DC and am pretty good with its con...I read a lot of DC and am pretty good with its continuity, but I side with Grant. Just write a good story, it doesn't matter that much if there are a few mistakes here and there. Death of the New Gods was terrible, Countdown was weak, and Final Crisis is very promising. I'd go with the FC continuity since I'm pretty sure its going to be the best story. <BR/><BR/>They're just stories, read thegood stuff and ignore the bad, no matter how much continuity you might miss.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785578592890453795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-39893599180012018672008-06-09T19:15:00.000-04:002008-06-09T19:15:00.000-04:00You know, with Marvel and DC editorial being eliti...You know, with Marvel and DC editorial being elitist pricks who just despise their consumer base if anyone challenges the logic and quality of their current work, and Newsarama turning to crap, I think I may be on the way out the door with comics again.<BR/><BR/>Tomassi, Dixon, Busiek, Carey and Jeff Parker can only write so many books to keep me coming back to read more.<BR/><BR/>It really didn't hit home for me about it until that Morrison interview; the dude's seriously channeling some Warren Ellis "I'm too cool to play in YOUR sandbox" shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14916953.post-68690745300918070402008-06-09T17:05:00.000-04:002008-06-09T17:05:00.000-04:00It's understandable for Grant to ignore the events...It's understandable for Grant to ignore the events of Countdown. It just made an utter mockery of the characters he was planning to use. Still pretty fucking cheeky of DC to put out 51 isssues claiming it's relevant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
