Mangaka understanding what their readers want. And its definitly not the politcal agenda modern comic book writers try to shove down everyones throat. I genuinly hope that DC dosnt have to close down like that, remembered as a husk of its former glory.TacticalNuke002 said:
But i hope that this at leasts serves as a grim wake up call to every other big franchise, to change their ways, and to the manga industry to continue to spit on anything western puplishers would give as "Advice" for better sells.

....I'm gonna be honest, stuff like this is why I want to become a writer in the first place. A lot of people have had it in their heads that, somehow, Marvel and DC would be around forever. But, given the death of Stan Lee, the loss of DC and even a few of Marvel's worse films, it's obvious that's not the case. Hell, there are a few times where even Disney, ******* Disney, has been close to bankruptcy. No matter how timeless something is, reality can eventually come and stomp it out at any time.
So, that's where I come in. I want to give people something to believe in, the next Superman of their generation. Every hero dies, but the legend they leave behind will be kept alive by the people they inspired.

@Ant
They could have fired quite a few higher-ups responsible for the overall decision-making and I would have been perfectly fine with it, honestly.
Every time I think about the decisions made over there in recent years, I end up thinking of Senator Roark from Sin City telling Hartigan "I'm doin' you, John, and I'm doin' you hard."
Except instead Roark talking to Hartigan, it's the aforementioned higher-ups talking to their whole damned company.

Also, why is it that Warner Bros. suddenly has the worst possible management?
Like, this restructuring might actually harm a whole lotta WB IPs in general, if they're thinking of destroying their biggest cash cow currently

With how meta DC is, this is probably just the prelude of another one of their retcons. And people say their live-action isn't good . . .

DC is going to retcon itself out of experience by claiming they never existed and were actually a sub branch of Marvel the whole time.

Sad to see such a titan of the industry on the downswing. I mean, just yesterday I was thinking about how Marvel and DC were something that had been around forever and would probably stay around forever.
Let's hope they can find someway to turn things around.

What do you mean? The meta aspect of DC is one of the most interesting parts about it. That's how we get stuff like Superman Beyond. DC's Live action in the current decade is either Snyder's garbage or average movies that look good because they have Snyder to compare to.InfiniteSped said:

Also it's funny how people are saying manga is popular because it is miles better but the most popular manga/anime in the west is generic shonen stuff. Comics are like manga, they both have variety but everyone sticks to the most popular action packed genres. (Not saying shonen or superheroes are bad)

Assuming DC Comics will trully close forever, what its going to happen to the characters and stories?
Do Warner Bros keep the copyright of the entire verse, or it will go to the public domain?

That is also a good point. There is a shortage of interesting self-contained western comicbooks, outside of a few, such as Astro City, Usagi Yojimbo, and The Walking Dead.

Seriously, though, Marvel Comics is only holding out because of the bank the MCU gets them. I would have really peferred that they bite the dust, seeing as their response to geniune critique is to keep republishing failed comics.
Meanwhile DC actually improves their writing and gives real fans what they want, and this happens. Damn shame.

Wow, and they say Mandrakk was the biggest threat to the DC verse... but even that was really nothing but a fruitfly squabble from the perspective of The Writer. This is what can threaten a boundlessly omnipotent Tier 0

Warner Bros doesn't had any other comic book company, if they keep the copyright they are not going to publish any new comic book.Zark2099 said:

Damn, and DC was doing so well when they launched Rebirth. Should've brought back John to take the helm instead of that hack DiDio.

...You know, if DC stops publishing comics and Marvel follows suit sometime after...
That means Image Comics will have won the war after all.
How's that for a "**** You" to the establisment?

Also, the PC wanking reaaaallly gets the hype going for 'em. Marvel isn't actually doing bad in sales, and stuff like IDW is killing it due to licensed comic stuff, from what I hear. So that's a sigh of relief that the medium is still breathing, if atleast for now.
