The Final Crisis teaser has been released and already people have been talking. Most common comment? "Final Crisis? Shyeah right!" Next most common? "Where is ________? I don't see him in the poster?" (They may have a point with the Ollie Queen Green Arrow. He isn't on the cover of the new Green Arrow/Black Canary series either.)
My two cents? I am sick and tired with comic companies using deaths to promote their books, and this poster teases that deaths are coming. Heroes Die? Please.
I hope that there is a little pay off for this teasing. No, I don't want Batman or Wonder Woman to die. I want Batman AND Wonder Woman to die. And Superman (Again) and Hal Jordan, Green Lantern (Again) and Hawkman (Again). I want them all to die. And not be replaced by different characters with the same name. Cancel all their books, too. And then I want them to try to create entirely new characters that will have the same impact and longevity as these ones. I guarantee if they do that, it will be a failure. That's why they should never kill these characters.
That's my opinion.
My thought when I saw this was the DC was going to kill EVERONE than reboot the entire continuity from scratch...
ReplyDeleteI thought they were doeing well with 52 and now countdown. Why do they need another event, especially one with crisis in the title. Crisis on Infinite Earths was excellent. Infinite crisis was contrived, but still decent, but still contrived.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they need another Crisis? I believe the reason is best summarized as: dolla dolla bills, y'all.
