# How does anyone have the patience for comics?
Every year or two it's 'Ooh, let's start again, everything before now doesn't count. Apart from some of it. Maybe.'

Bought a few years' worth of Uncanny back in the 90s. So many pounds :(

# I've bought a years subscription to the Marvel Unlimited app
I've easily read a hundred comics in the last month, old favourites and newer stuff alike - very addictive.

It's like renting comics true, but very cost-effective for binge reading.

Marvel seems to do this a lot less than DC (the last Marvel event seemed to change very little, just jumped everything on 18 months), so I find I read a lot more of their comics.

Not sure why DC do it so frequently these days - seems to show a lack of confidence in the creative directions they keep firing themselves off in. Pity, as they have some very compelling characters :-(

# post below sums it up
hard to take Batman seriously as a street vigilante detective when he's been a God... but that's the thing with DC - it's easy to dip in for a story arc and happily ignore the wider continuity, as it's rebooted too often and is daft too often that the writers regularly ignore it all to deliver some cracking tales.
