Heck, DC put out a whole trade paperback devoted to that spirit of experimental comics in the 1980s. So even if they didn't always sell, we get to see some projects that would have never been approved normally. And heck, this isn't even a shot at the other projects, really, as this could be a very good thing, as well, as some projects that would never have been given the time of day because of their lack of commerciality suddenly get greenlit. When one thing works, similar concepts are easy to get approved, whether they will work or not. As the joke goes, Watchmen's success meant that the world got dozens of awful attempts at deconstructing superheroes. However, a side effect of massive revolutions is often a deluge of similar projects that aren't always as well-received. STATUS:Īs you all know, the success of Mature Readers maxiseries like Camelot 3000 and then, most famously, Batman: The Dark Knight and Watchmen, revolutionized the world of comic books in the mid-1980s. Great deal, right? So go follow my Twitter page, Brian_Cronin! COMIC LEGEND:ĭC's infamous Sonic Disruptors series didn't have any issues written beyond the issue it was abruptly canceled at. NOTE: If my Twitter page hits 5,000 followers, I'll do a bonus edition of Comic Book Legends Revealed that week.
