Chris’ resignation and DC’s complete lack of respect for the Watchmen legacy has been a tipping point for me, and like Chris, this had been coming for some time.<br /><br />I’m not naive enough to think that my actions alone will make any economic difference to Marvel or DC.

That's for a variety of reasons: economics, dislike of the content, and a some moral objection to how they treat their talent (although the case can always be made that it takes two to tango . . .). That said, I still have oodles of Marvel and DC comics in my collection that you would have to pry from my cold, dead hands. And just recently I purchased the complete Keith Giffen run on Legion of Superheroes v4 and Ditko's vastly underrated Speedball.Eric Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092745122835543138noreply@blogger.com
