Taking a break to go read more old comics again....

Big event comics these days often feel like they’re more advertising copy for the next marketing push than a self contained story, absolutely feel you on that. I liked the sound of Dark Crisis but it definitely got messy fast. Sometimes going back to comics I read years ago and how complete the storytelling used to feel, sounds like the right move.
