Fuck! I just found out that Doom Patrol is being cancelled. First Suicide Squad, now Doom Patrol; I fear for how long a quirky book like H-E-R-O will be around. Meanwhile, Nightwing gets worse with every issue, and Judd Winick, after ruining Green Lantern, is being rewarded with the reins of both Green Arrow and the new Outsiders. I do not blame DC for cancelling the Squad and DP, they're running a business and cannot afford to sustain unprofitable products, but I do blame the stupid, fickle fanboys for not supporting these great series. These bottomfeeders can't get enough of any piece of shit with an X on the cover, it's no wonder they can't recognize greatness when they see it.

Neutral Man, it should be noted, is part of the problem. He reads all the X-books, even though he doesn't like most of them, because he has several score of continuous backissues and wouldn't want to break continuity. And because he's buying them, he doesn't want to shell out the bucks for any new ongoing series. Then again, his taste is pretty poor; so, even if he'd picked them up, he probably wouldn't appreciate them. After all, he reads Wolverine but won't even pick up an issue of The Flash.

I don't know if Zach Nie!'s recommendations can still be considered reliable. Why? Because he said Daredevil (the movie) was every bit as good as Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Yes, he loves Sports Night and Cowboy Bebop, but, well, I just don't know. He's all over the map. Hmmm.
