52 #45

52 #45
Seriously, DC, you promised us that this would be the best series of the year, and so far you haven't managed to get this book any higher than EH. You promised that this book would have immense ramifications for the rest of the DCU, and so far, there haven't been any. In fact, almost all the plotlines in this series have been entirely self contained. And it's obvious you haven't listened to the fans reaction regarding this series, because if you had, you'd have realized that Ralph Dibny is one of the most popular characters since the introduction of Batman! And then you go offing him for no apparent reason? WTF? Not only that, but killing Vic Sage? You should know by now that he's the reason people even cared about Montoya's storyline anyways. (And what's up with that? Black Adam asks Renee, "where's Vic", but throughout the entire series he's gone by 'Charlie'! And Black Adam can slap Montoya and she just gets up and shrugs it off? Every bone in her face should be broken!) The only thing that's kept me reading this travesty of a series is the momentum, and at this point, you've really begun to lose it - especially sad, considering the fact that this is the point when it should be picking up steam. It almost seems as if you've given up on 52, and are instead focusing all your efforts on Countdown, if the last few weeks' DC Nation page are any indication. Are you trying to drive up the aftermarket value on these pins? I don't get it. And at this point, I don't much care. EH.
