Quote from: shadowedge on Oct 05, 2013, 09:01:36 PMIs anyone else getting tired of DC's New 52. It is so depressing, its like there is no happiness or joy in the titles anymore.
It's dumb, joyless and formulaic. I hate how stupid their publications have become, it's basically a cover with an "spectacular" sign saying "XXXX The enemy/A caracter/ Whatever!"
a short and ridiculous set-up with no much explanation.
A couple action scenes with a splash page.
and finally a so-called page with a "cliffhanger" scene.
I enjoyed much the "52" miniseries, things were way more interesting and cerebral at that period
New 52 managed to flash me for like 4 or 5 months, then I realized how the comics didn't go anywhere.
They're going now by the completely stiff format of "a supervillain appears, a little look at the hero's alter ego life, then there's a fight, a cliffhanger when we think the hero's gonna die, then it wins in the end", all wrapped up in 4 issues, then rinse and repeat.
Seems like they're selling the art more than anything else, since the stories are completely worthless. It's like the '90s all again.
Brainless, senseess, forced, inconsequential action, is what comes to my mind when I remember The New 52 standard comic book.
