Stories from the Post-Flashpoint Worlds: the Batwoman Resignations

Not sure how much of a surprise this was to me this morning as I read my e-mail and stuff before going off to work:

Considering that Marvel actually showed Northstar's marriage on-camera in Astonishing X-Men last year, I am surprised that this version of Batwoman wasn't to be accorded the same treatment.

Just indicative of the narrow-mindedness of the folks at DC Comics these days, and the fact that the DC line of comics has gone to hell in a handbasket.

Their Vertigo lines are still doing some interesting stuff, but... feh

Seems a different kind of narrow-mindedness was likely in play. (http://comicsbeat.com/lets-get-this-straight-dc-is-anti-marriage-not-anti-gay-marriage/) Not much of an improvement, though, and more a continuation of a decades-long standing practice. Ageism still seems Acceptable.

Regardless of that, the quality of DC's comics has been on a steady decline, and frankly, The New 52 was a huge mistake on their part to begin with, which they don't admit to anyway.

With the end of another incarnation of Legion of Super-Heroes, my reading of DC Comics is down to two titles of the five comics I buy now. And I don't feel the need to buy comics more than every 4 or 5 months, 'cause there's nothing great out. Though the new Ghost looks like it will be good, and I'm looking forward to the return of Xenozoic Tales.
