These aren’t the only issues of course. Maybe hire people who want to make comics instead of authors needing a paycheck or artists who don’t care about accuracy. They don’t need to be fans of a product to be able to understand it, appreciate it, and make something the fans want to see. If you have a shared universe stop looking at continuity as a block to telling your stories and more like a challenge to make stories with and build off of what came before with your voice. Mr. July basically said the rest of it.

Great video! I’ve been reading/collecting comic books since the late 70’s and I’m pretty sure as an industry, it’s over for them. Comic books are garbage now and have been since the 90’s (in my opinion). I think it’ll be a decade before anything worthwhile makes it back, if ever.

There are a number of solutions, but the big two are owned by people who don’t care about comics, just IP to make “the real media” out of so the companies never get people who are interested in making comics or have a strong opinion on what they want to make. You mention the 90s, where some of the problems we have now started. Jim Lee comes from that period, and he still has that mindset, though people question if he even does anything. Cebulski doesn’t seem to be doing much better over at Marvel and neither Warner Brothers nor Disney care enough to bring them to task. Mainstream comics could still be saved but the current owners don’t even think about it.

I agree that the problem is the owners. No doubt. That seems to be everywhere now, all companies.
Also, you’re right that there are some bright spots and great writers/artists that came after/during the 90’s but they are so far and in-between in my opinion.
I do still buy comics, but I’m down to just one title (the flash) and I’m about to stop that and just focus on the older comics.

If I have money again and find a way to lighten my comic load so I have the space I want to just get everything from the 70s and 80s, my period of DC pre-Crisis, and maybe some later stories if I like them. I don’t see me collecting what they’re doing to Superman, Iron Man and other DC and Marvel characters.
