You will get a new Wonder Woman run planned to be a long and structured one - but it's written by Tom King

You will get a new Black Canary run - the thing is, it will be written by Tom King

You will get a series of some silver age partially forgotten characters you like - Adam Strange, Omega Men, Metamorpho - but here's the catch: they'll all be written by Tom King

Why all these times I got something I wanted from DC it was like meeting this wise and cruel Jinn trying to warn me about the potential harm of my heart's desires?

"Be careful what you wish for, little one. Now take this Tom King book" the creature whispers while I sob

#the stories might not be exclusively bad or even poorly written #but when they're good it's not because of the characters he's using but rather despite of the characters #he writes characters with a light disregard for their history and personality #that's why he's better when writing else world-like out of continuity stories #you can take woman of tomorrow for example it's not a bad story per se but it's not good because of kara's traits and personality #supergirl could be any powerful and hopeful character and the story would still work #kara's own side characters are there only as an after thought comet's appearance in the story is almost random #comet deserved better #i wanted ww black canary and adam strange stories for the characters and not to be used merely as a prompt #i do think he's a very gimmicky writer too i used to enjoy his stories before #now i feel like the tone is just predictable and uninteresting i feel like i've read them already #i don't judge the readers though some ppl are attached to his writing they can be powerful tales but they're not really for me anymore #i miss the time when all tom king was writing was batman bc i don't care about his titles lol #tom king #wonder woman #black canary #adam strange #omega men #danger street #metamorpho #supergirl #batman #commentary #dc comics #dc #comics #text #fandom
