#as for source material ik i didnt answer that well comics are constantly evolving and changing so

is DC one of those things that was good at first but gradually turned bad? Or just got really far from the source material? ive never been interested in the comics bc they just look gritty and edgy but the older ones seem fun

this is a tough question to answer because comics don't really work that way, Dc has ALWAYS been bad but is has equally always been good. DC publishes dozens of books at once and it really just boils down to if i like whatever writer is currently writing the book im interested in. despite my current issues with DC I'd actually say things are pretty good right now especially compared to say, a decade ago.

lets look at two ongoing runs right now, Green Arrow and Detective Comics(which i will call 'tec for short). despite the fact i like green arrow as a character more i dont really like his current writer. and then moving over to the current 'tec run though i havent liked past writers i really like the current one, comics are just really fluid like that.

as for dc being more grim dark its both true and untrue, with the release of The Killing Joke in the 80's DC did spearhead a whole dark and edgy era in comics but things arent always that way, i wouldnt even say theyre that way the majority of the time. different writers have different styles and though things definitely happen for shock value sometimes i think frank miller esque grittiness is decidedly out of fashion. there has also always been silly funny comics Justice Leauge International in the 80's Young Justice in the late 90's and many more(id say most runs are dramas with some comedy action and suspense really. good mix)

#if you like any work of fiction there is probably comics out there you'd enjoy its all very uh... broad lol #as for source material ik i didnt answer that well comics are constantly evolving and changing so #delving away isnt always bad #i guess i could explain the n52 which WAS bad but its such a can of worms especially for a non comic fan #basically #all comic fans are destined to love and hate comics
