No attacks here. You do consistently come in here and complain about stuff you haven't read. No biggie.
Also, 52 was advertised as: "After the INFINITE CRISIS and before One Year Later, the DCU spent a year without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. A year in which those heroes were needed more than ever as the fate of the world hung in the balance. Who stood up in their absence? And who sat out?"
It was about a year. In the DCU. Without Supes, Bats and Wondy. That's what it was. If you were arguing that it wasn't exactly what you wanted, I suppose you'd be right but that's not what you're arguing. Based on what you're arguing, you're wrong.
It's OK to be wrong. It happens to everyone from time to time.

Based on what you're arguing, you're wrong. It's OK to be wrong. It happens to everyone from time to time. Again, the man in charge said: Quote: Back when we originally planned the story for our yearlong weekly saga 52, our goal was to explain the multiple changes in character and story that occurred throughout our line with the One Year Later jumps...
But a funny thing happened on the way to One Year Later. The four talented writers of 52 took hold of our guide characters and began to realize the untold potential in all of them. As their stories grew, it became clear by the second issue of 52 that the series would be about them... But Im sure youre wondering, what about OYL? Have at it.

Oh so that's why Linda was calling shenanigans on you. sweatdrop Yep. But as Jaeger pointed out, I didn't break any rules. The only rule was that I couldn't tell anyone posting in it or creating was for a quest/contest.

As their stories grew, it became clear by the second issue of 52 that the series would be about them... But Im sure youre wondering, what about OYL? Have at it. What he's saying is that the original concept of the series was simply to explain the changes that occurred during the missing year. The series did that. What he's also saying is that by virtue of the writers' creative input, the series also became something more, which was a chance to thoroughly explore the guide characters, which it did, in addition to explaining the multiple changes in story and character that happened in the missing year.Also, DiDio isn't talking about how the project was advertised, he's talking about the initial conceptual goal. If you want to fault a series for becoming something more than originally intended while still hitting all the original goals of the project, fine. They provided actual compelling story content rather than just filler. Fact is, it did what DiDio states was the initial goal of the project, and expanded upon that by making it a complex tale rather than just a continuity band-aid as originally intended. Read the book.

Jaime Reyes What he's saying is that the original concept of the series was simply to explain the changes that occurred during the missing year. The series did that. It did? Seems like the individual titles did a lot more of that than 52, again, Nightwing and Martian Manhunter as examples. I think 52 WAS just filler. Involving minor characters and minor events that may or may not be canon.

Involving minor characters and minor events that may or may not be canon. Yes. It did. But, since you're clearly haven't read the book, nor have any plans to, it really doesn't matter. Also, the purpose of a solo title is to give more insight into a character than any of the other books out there. It would be a pretty shitty solo series if it didn't. If you think it was filler, that's fine. I don't know where you're getting the idea that it was somehow non-canon though. But, whatever, I don't have the time nor the interest to talk to you, or anyone, about whether or not a series they haven't read is filler.
