There were a number of one-shot ("Elseworld") spin-offs that were good, Ordinary Heroes being one of them. The Fire From Heaven storyline was also pretty interesting. Beyond that, it was just teenage drama with superpowers.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669102827285893120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462896069663031.post-75380391382731175442009-09-25T10:23:54.791-04:002009-09-25T10:23:54.791-04:00But the thing is, I liked Secret Invasion...a lot....But the thing is, I liked Secret Invasion...a lot. And I liked how Dark Reign began. I thought it was an interesting twist on the Marvel U.<br /><br />It's just going on too, too long.<br /><br />But, you're absolutely correct about Crisis--DC is still pumping out those (useless) mini series and that was my biggest problem with that event. Well, OK, and the fact that I had little idea as to what was actually happening...<br /><br />I hope (I hope!) that Blackest Night doesn't turn into Crisis in that respect.<br /><br />And that Gen 13 book is an interesting thing to pop into your head. I've never read those characters--you think it's worth trying to find?AJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973780010785594820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462896069663031.post-79241953801873448032009-09-25T08:36:15.082-04:002009-09-25T08:36:15.082-04:00It doesn't sound so much like event fatigue as...It doesn't sound so much like event fatigue as it sounds like DC's succeeded in making and marketing an event that appeals to you more than Marvel's event.<br /><br />I mean, Marvel may have Secret Invasion fallout events, but DC has Crisis fallout events. Hell, the Crisis Aftermath stuff is still ongoing as well. The only thing I'm remotely interested in reading anymore is Flash Rebirth...<br /><br />As a side note, when you talked about emotion and characterization, one of the first comics that came to mind, oddly enough, is a Gen13 one-shot called Ordinary Heroes, I believe.
