Quote:You just nailed exactly why I never got into DC comics. Even as an adult, I couldn't stand having to drop that kind of money to enjoy comics. When Marvel ran Civil War into World War Hulk and right into Secret Invasion, I started getting mad. When the art style had that fake watercolor look with all of the characters and scenery blending into each other, I wondered why I should keep reading.Originally Posted by Heroid
I've read comics for over 40 years, and I've seen a lot of trends come and go. But I can tell you this: the harder they make it for twelve or thirteen year old kids to access and understand their comics, whether because of content or because of the deadly weight of decades-long continuity that is no longer relevant, the more their audience is going to continue to shrink.
The best and most entertaining comics that Marvel puts out right now is their kids' line. And Ultimate Spider-Man, of course. And all of those have a relatively short history in their continuities.))
Then Nightwing got sucked into the Death of Batman instead of being a really good standalone comic, Batman died newuniversal fell off schedule. I gave up. Ghost Rider, for the most part, did a great job of telling its own stories. Multi-part stories, sure, but in small batches of around 3-5 comics. That was about my limit.
And, yes, the Marvel Adventures are indeed great comics. I used to buy them for my kids and read them as bedtime stories. -
The griefers are all right.
My mains on Liberty are doing alright.
Virtue is especially awful this year. In the last several of playing my lowbie alts on Virtue I have gained exactly one event salvage.
One.
In knocking down all of the monsters that appear, I have gained one badge. Again -- one. Dead Head.
One.
The only reason to take down the monsters is to perform an XP grind. That's just about the only benefit to Halloween on Virtue.
Also, from the last 60 minutes combined, my events tab says only:
[ QUOTE ]
The Ghost Ship has disappeared from Independence Port
Fire Alarm sounded in Steel Canyon
Warning: Superadine raid in progress in Skyway City
Fire alarm cleared in Steel Canyon.

This is my third Halloween, and the only time I can recall having this difficult of an experience.
I'm at least going to try another server. I was really hoping to get the events salvages for these alts as well.
