Your half arsed justifications for toeing the party line aren't exactly endorsing that your opinions on Moore's work are worth listening to.

And yet you'll continue to justify shitty treatment of creators with the same half arsed arguments fanboys who love the little logo at the top of their monthlies more than the names of the people actually writing the books they are reading. Like I said I have no interest in discussing works with someone who places so…

Now just a second Jason *reaches into the cookie jar*

Yeah it seems like it's the sort of multiplayer game I could get into but I'd like to hold out until I hear how it plays on the PS4.

I won't discuss Moore's work with you because your attitude towards creators rights is hilariously juvenile. You'll happily support the faceless company over someone who's work you profess to love. That's more than enough to judge you on, the only way the medium improves is if fans are more discerning with their…

Better than than Nu52 and the current crop of Marvel titles right isn't exactly a ringing endorsement, especially when the big selling point of the entire push is awarding itself faux depth by aping a better book.

Moore rightfully chides DC and the writers working under them for using characters that should belong to him, buying products DC put out cashing in on Watchmen only sends the message that you don't give a shit about creators rights, you bullshit claim that he's akin to Stan Lee only reinforces that. Supporting a…

Appeal to majority, really ticking off all the old classics. "insular fanboys love it" isn't much of a defence.

Is Alan Moore stopping you from bringing up his use of other characters time and time again? I know it's a "ha gotcha, Alan Moore using characters is the exact same as a corporation wilfully abusing the terms of a contract for their own finical gain." But you're so clearly enamoured with the idea of Alan Moore: Secret…

I think it's a big issue these sort of shared universes create, there's always going to be a group of people that will happily follow character of the creative teams.

Appeal to tradition, classic. Rebirth's just another example of DC trying to awkwardly streamline a series of barley connected books into a shared universe setting because they need to appeal to a slowly dismissing customer base. Turns out doing things they way they always have been is a terrible idea, whoda thunk it.

Kid, I remember the last time you tried to play the "Alan Moore is a meany because he's nasty to DC" game and you still haven't got a clue about Moore's issues regarding DC. Brand Loyalty, it's still a hell of a drug.

Plenty of other critics have pointed out Geoff Johns overt reliance on nostalgia for the past, often to the detriment to any ideas developed why is suddenly an issue when Moore points out that he's using a eight page comic he tossed out for a paycheck as the foundation for an entire run.

Moore happily worked with the team behind the Watchmen RPG and that resulted in a decent prequel story that echoed the themes of the work proper. Contrast that with the various Before Watchmen books that bounce between generic superhero crap and plot points in the the main title that they drag out for a few issues.

Dick Giordano opposed the idea of using the Charlton but they didn't have any hand in creating the substitutes, as he says himself "Eventually, I realised that if I wrote the substitute characters well enough, so that they seemed familiar in certain ways, certain aspects of them brought back a kind of generic…

Moore's a boogeyman for fans that want to pretend there's some conspiracy keeping comics down, guys been upfront about the good and bad sides of the medium.

I mean that's a pretty great example of wilfully misinterpreting Moore, he's outright states his work on Tales of the Green Lantern Corps wasn't up to much and couldn't understand why they'd pun an entire concept on one eight page strip from the 80s. Far from "see! They keep feeding on my genius!" more "why would you…

They just want him to say he really, really likes whatever DC title they are reading. Just a bit of acknowledgement that it's 28 page long fist fight is everything good about the medium, is that so much to ask?

They really need to get over their obsession with making it all fit, as shared universes go it's a mess of conflicting ideals and notions and if they are going to constantly shill that "modern mythology" bollocks they might as well embrace that.

He handled three of them and they are probably the low point of an inherently pointless idea.
