Sense8, but your mileage may vary.

Within the context of everything that has come before and is still to come. For instance:

"Cogman wrote both this week’s and next week’s episodes, and so it’s hard to judge the episode fully knowing that the “second half” (or something approximate to it, with some stories) is forthcoming."

How they sell their comics and how people should judge story lines are two different things.

It's kind of funny that the least problematic retcon DC has pulled was probably the simplest and dumbest — that the JSA was in Limbo fighting Ragnorak for 30 years. Just, fine, that's it, and we're never going to revisit that again, and if it screws up Infinity Inc., too bad.

Has someone already? I was just trying to come up with an obvious solution that also is kind of meta and corny.

Imma go with "the Batcave is a nexus point of power and importance across all the realities."

and critically successful

On the other hand, they could have produced a book that *didn't* make them hugely successful and legends in their field, and gotten the rights back sooner, I guess.

The good news is, we have frogurt?

No, no one can, and I'm including Johns in that statement.

Sure thing. All I really want is to believe that somehow, someway there's a resolution that placates everyone, no matter how impossible that might seem.

Given that Damian is generally beloved and the books featuring him were probably DC's most commercially and critically successful of the last decade, I think we have different ideas of failure.

Given that I can't think of any way to engage you about this that won't lead to 25 paragraph posts that just leave us both frustrated, sure.

They didn't promise a resolution in this issue, so, no, it's not. That would have been dishonest. But this is how comics have worked for about 40 years.

Shit, what did they do to Archie?

Yeah, I can't reconcile the Johns who obviously loves the Silver Age with the one who also obviously loves misery and gore.

Or Doctor Quintum

Morning Glories is one of my all time favorite books, as well as being a book where a whole bunch of stuff that seems impossible for the writer to coherently explain happens.

Sex slave, no. Degraded? YMMV, I guess.

If Wonder Woman hadn't been written in very compromising positions for her first 20 years or so, I don't think she would have ever existed.
