Because it isn't.

While we're on Batgirl, I'm interested in reading some stuff with Cassandra Cain. Where do I even begin? What are some essential stories?
My boy Serpentine got me to try out the Stephanie Brown run, so I'm open to more.
please respond

Ah ok. Like I said. Knowing waid and his feelings on things that Twitter response raised an eyebrow.

What fucking sucks is that "If you don't like it, don't buy it." just isn't enough for people anymore. They see that if they bitch enough, then NO ONE gets the thing that portion of the audience (the one that wasn't going to buy it anyway) didn't like.

It isn't so much that books are explicitly out of continuity, more that continuity isn't the hard and fast requirement it was before. So if you see Batman in 10 places at once, just hand wave it away and move on.

ugh i don't wanna keep talking about this but i gotta mention that Albuquerque, says he'll talk about it more tomorrow but he wasn't sent threats

The fact that it's not inconceivable makes me hate people.

I'm glad there were no threats. That would have been really sad and pathetic. I'm sure Rafa will come in and clean up the mess.

Babs tears brought us as a group closer together. The image will live in infamy.

I want so bad to have Rafa mention Messi's thread as a reason he asked to remove the cover.
Please let this not happen.

Well, it was kinda your fault, you big pot-stirrer. You know how easily riled-up comic fans are.

Patrick Zircher, Howard Porter, Brett Booth, Ryan Ottley, Garry Brown are just a few artist I have caught really not liking the decision.
Gary Brown is NOT happy.
I'd say the first 40 or so issues of the solo run is probably what you're looking for, though most of it is pretty decent. The One Year Later stuff is when DC really just completely shit the bed with the character so you really don't need to get that far.
It's time to make a thread about people unhappy with the cover not coming out, let's go after them next.

That's a shame, hopefully they do one in the future to lure in people like me who are interested. Luckily, I'm still reading Steph Batgirl so I'm in no real hurry.

At least DC mustered the energy to release digital versions of the run thats better than they have for other series (ie see PADs Supergirl series that DC pretends it doesn't exist)

Outside the concern of what future ramification a decision like this could have. The thing that bugs me more than anything is Opto is probably acting all smug thinking he won.
I think I'll read spider-Gwen and Ms Marvel On MU to cheer me up

but Abuquerque was the one who made the call, not DC. He can make his own decisions.
he made his shit, now he's gotta sail in it
miss ya jc see ya soon

The guy was just practicing his craft, making a piece of art he thought people would enjoy. Then the buttfucking internet had to ruin it like it ruins everything.
sadly the discussion has deteriorated to the point where apparently Cameron Stewart is a raving lunatic who's lying through his teeth and Albuquerque only issued that statement under extreme duress and nobody can ever change their minds about anything (agree or disagree) without some sort of conspiracy.
Who?

Don't make me put you on my ignore list. Because you're half the posts in this thread.
Regardless of anything else I don't think anyone can claim with a straight face that the artistry that went into that cover is bad. There's a reason why it has a certain effect on people.
Alright, I'll grab the two Zero Year volumes and leave it at that, for now.
Maybe an artbook or two. It's the time of year I do my Amazon binge.

I'm not even getting into it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. But that's not enough anymore, is it? If something is offensive to any portion of the population, it just can't exist now. This seems like "progress" at the expense of freedom.
i dunno if you caught the stuff that went down with that webcomic (mahou something or other?) last week but this feels weirdly similar, down to the reactions to the artist's reaction
Instocktrades.com you can thank me later
But then you have the writer tweeting that he and his team have been calling for the cover to be pulled since before it was released.
nah you really don't have that

I wish I lived in a world where people didn't get butt-hurt so easily. People used to have a lot more mettle to them.
