Isn't that basically all comic fans talk about? I don't think I can even remember reading anything about DC that didn't turn in to bitching about how much better everything was before the reboot.

Fans were complaining about the grimdarkery well before the reboot, Anon. I was hearing kvetching about it back in 2007! But then again, I was in the JLI fandom, and there was an ongoing joke about how everyone in the JLI had TERRIBLE things happen to them.

(Ted, killed. Maxwell Lord, gone evil, kills Ted, then is killed himself. Ice, fridged. Fire... I think she was evil or something at that time? Rocket Red, killed. Sue and Elongated Man... let's not even go there.)

Well sure, complaining and reminiscing about the past are what comic fans are best at. JLI fans are especially fond of doing so. Not that I am blame them (in fact, I'm one of them).

Remember how Booster's ongoing had like 3 separate arcs all dedicated to how much he missed Ted? It ended up being about 50% of the whole series, because JLI fans couldn't fucking let it go.

Yeah. After I stopped following along for a bit, I realized that I find Booster these days way less interesting alone. There's just nothing about him that really draws my attention. As a vapid self-promoter, I found him an interesting change of pace (I mean come on, superheroes have to pay the bills SOMEHOW), but that seems to mostly have been left behind now, which kinda removes one of the things I found intriguing about him, someone who uses shallowness as a coping mechanism.

Then again, I've mostly left the Big Two at this point. I know enough comics creators that I've gotten more invested in buying THEIR stuff.
