Johanna Draper Carlson over at Comics Worth Reading, wrote a quick post about a comment made by Dan DiDio of DC Comics and seems to have sparked a bit of a discussion, which went into a decidedly different direction due to a comment I had made in the same post in reply to another comment about comics going weekly…
Here is the comment by DiDio..
” One of the things that we’re really focusing on this year at DC is how we’re driving the different storylines through 2008. There will be a storyline that features Superman prominently in the Superman titles through 2008, there will be a storyline that features Batman prominently throughout his titles in 2008, and Wonder Woman will have her own strong storyline in her series. ”
and here are the two comments which led to a whole other discussion..

And the discussion continues here….

Sorry Alan, but I have to disagree with you about the weekly comic trend. I think that trying to keep up with a weekly comic is unfair to the comic reader who tries to follow more than one or two titles. I started to read the weekly 52 series from DC, and also Countdown, and in both cases quit the attempt mostly due to the fact that I felt both stories just weren’t worth the aggravation involved in trying to get them each and every week, while passing up a better comic. And I can tell you, I’m already starting to get a bit put off with Spiderman going weekly.
