Joe Quesada Says DC's New 52 Is "A Response" To Marvel

Marvel <3 <3 <3
I read like 6 books of the New DC and I enjoyed only one... And half-enjoyed another one. But everything else was really bad.

I have given tried to get behind nightwing, teen titans, justice league, action comics, batman and robin and detective comics. As it stands i'm down to B and R and JL. Gave them a good enough chance but some of this 52 is boring as hell. I only collect 5 titles from Marvel so in no way am i super biased.

I call bullshit.

i've read batman 1,swamp thing 1 & i've borrowed animal man 1 from a mate.

i like what i've read so far,got the trades on pre-order.

still think dc should of created another universe like marvel did with its ultimate line.

I have gotten fed up with a few New 52 titles myself..but the ones I really liked I still do. All of their "dark" stuff is awesome but then I was a Vertigo man back in the day. I'm looking forward to AvX as much as anyone too though.

its a good dynamic... competition.

We will soon see DC's next event, both companies move against the other.

actually competition does not lead to better results but it actually creates low self-esteem and neurotic aggression because you can only feel good about your products or accomplishments as long as somone has not done something better and once you bevome aware of that you're under pressure (at least in big companies like this) to create something even better and if you fail you know you could lose your job and income so I don't think a spirit of competition is what's needed, especially in the US where it's everyone for himself and no help for or from others at all costs. his reaction to DC's 52 is just what i was saying: he's clearly pissed that the recent marvel books have not taken off and so he's trying to sell another product in which he puts all his faith. if it works out, good for him. If not, he's probably not gonna work for much longer at marvel.

Also, when people ask "why are they still doing this?" It's ecause of money and because they want to own a monopoly and secretely they despise the competition they so often say they embrace because it takes away precious money that they feel they could own. that's also partly the reason for the Avengers vs DC war. noone can feel good for the other one winning. It's about total dominance of the American comicbook market. I don't root for corporations because they're not people, they're legal entities bent on making profit and nothing else. Anything else is what peopel project unto them wthout any rational reason.

i always thought it was funny how people asked "ok now is marvel going to reboot their line?"

they did. 11 years before DC. it's called Ultimate. and you get the best of both worlds.

What a load of crap!

OdinBeard@

Its not a reboot if its a different world.....

MatchesMalone@ sure it is. it's the same end game. the same result. they tightened things up and made it so 70 years of [frick]ed up continutiy makes a little more sense. going by your reasoning DC never rebooted anything either. they've got pandora and the stranger guy walking around talking about reverting things back to the way they were. so technically thats just a different world/alternate universe too, right?

With a name like 70-s japanese monster, you're a relic Mothra just like most of the DC-ites who don't get Geoff Johns tried to Marvellize DC with the new 52. Archaic squeaky clean superheroes era is over and the oppositevariety now are found in both companies. Btw why are old geezers like you are still rabid for comics instead of 501k?

It's the truth though. Screw the New 52....
