    Many thanks indeed for that very encouraging comment; I am delighted that this tale is appealing to some readers at least - and particularly in that the two of you are both proven writers of very...

    Why thank-you! I'm very glad that the tale appeals to you - and grateful for the feedback, too (One never quite knows - lots and lots of views but no comment can look rather ominous... so it's good...

    Oh PLEASE - No! Don't encourage them - just don't! DC-infected MotU comics are already ineffably silly and trivialised enough; this will only make things far worse!

    Many thanks for posting that, Tallstar. It looks like history is rather repeating itself.

    And, the nature of subjectivity being as it is, my view is the contrary one; that there is a great deal of negativity and that the positive trend is smaller - and shrinking.

    This review explains it really very well - albeit somewhat scathingly: http://neftyshouseofrants.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/dc-motu-comic-rant-part-deux.html

    Firstly - welcome back!

    You may very well be right. Oh dear.

    I'm very much of your mind on this; the abysmal writing standards and the complete lack of understanding of or respect for the Eternian mythos have indeed made a travesty of these comics. And - yes;...

    That seems, to me at least, a very well-reasoned and balanced argument; if these comics average 20k sales (and my guess is that they will hold steady at c.16-17k, not least on account of 12-month...

    It is indeed a shame; that's one of the chief reasons that I feel so let down by these comics; I feel MotU deserves - and requires - everyone's BEST efforts, not some slapdash one-buttocked piece of...

    I agree wholly; but, as a writer, in the particular context of these DC Comics, he is deplorably third-rate in every way.
    Perhaps he was being lazy here as well! If so - then what a pity that he...

    Yes; something the writers thought sounded cool is about it. It has no actual meaning, since dead is - well - dead - irrespective of method. It's merely a figure of speech.

    Broadly I agree with you - and I think you make the point about the essential difference well; all that I would say is that there is a significant difference between stasis and stagnation.
