an opportunity to win or lose. And like life, you simply don’t know how many chances you have left. The Reaper is out there, folks, and there are major titles whistling in the graveyard, acting like it doesn’t matter, they’ll fix it next year. It really doesn’t seem to occur to them that there may not be a next year.”
While she glosses over the failed comic shops Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys , it is unlikely the bad will thus created can ever be made right. She has elsewhere cited comic book owners who name “Grant Morrison, One Year Later, Damien Wayne, Joe Quesada and the break up of Spiderman and MJ” as the pivotal events that sent customers out the door. Readers like Dee may forget the names of those who closed the doors on comic shops in business for 20 years, but the proprietors of those shops and their orphaned customers.

Chris Dee discusses DC Comics at the head of the list of WTF Moments in comics, Red and Blue Superman and the speed with which the disaster was recognized and rectified, and the necessity of admitting mistakes and fixing them if comics are to survive.
8. Practical Cats: Reflections on the Catwoman Costume
Related to the apology: Refusing to admit its new direction Catwoman is a failure Cheap Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , DC Comics has insisted on maintaining the new direction’s signature goggle costume, pushing it into other media like Rocksteady’s upcoming Arkham City Game on the grounds that it is “practical.” Practical Cats cleverly draws attention to how absurd that excuse is. “The Sex Appeal of the Classic Catwoman Costume makes one question how the word “practical” is being used.”
9. Retro-Active and Reichenbach Falls
Chris Dee discusses Retro-Active, DC Comics new series of one-shots bringing back old talent to write new stories in old, untainted continuities: Can DC Comics lure back the readers it’s lost in the last 10+ years of mismanagement? Can they learn to write and manage their characters by bringing back talent from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and letting them write in old, untainted continuities? Or are they just planning to poison old continuities as a last ditch effort to punish fans?
Wait Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys , did she say punish fans? Yes, which brings us back to Branding Disasters’s observations about the danger of promoting writers to editorial positions they do not have the maturity for. From the Catwoman Pregnant storyline to later occurrences in a title called Gotham City Sirens, DC has been on a campaign to punish Catwoman fans like Dee. The proof? Sirens sales numbers are dismal, poorer than a dozen other titles which have recently been cancelled. Why does this one continue to run, even though DC’s own message boards are full of fans clamoring for its cancellation? Clearly it has some other function. It has been recognized as the “humiliate Catwoman title” which exists to “punish the fans who have declined to lie back and take it.” It being whatever abuses DC dishes out.
10. Fat is Flavor
Chris Dee discusses the core principles of storytelling, Batman, and comic book superheroes that should be hammered away until they become “a little voice in the back of your head guiding every decision you make.” She speculates that some writers Wholesale Jerseys China , editors and management at DC Comics base their decisions on faulty principles, hence the amazing consistency of their wrong decisions, while others have no core principles, hence their astonishing inconsistency.

Every summer for the past five or six years I have reread Scott Peck?s quirky book about psychiatry and golf, Golf and the Spirit. Peck is probably better known for his best selling books about his experiences and insights as a psychiatrist, such as, A Road Less Travelled. In Golf and the Spirit Wholesale Football Jerseys , Peck combines his love for golf and what golf has taught him about the human condition and relates that to his years as a psychiatrist, and what studying the human condition that has taught him about golf.
