The advantage to having drop-kicked DC/Marvel to the curb years ago is that I don't always catch every bit of awfulness that's been perpetrated over the last five years.
The drawback is that sometimes, I'll learn about something monumentally stupid, like, oh, Doc Samson's dissociative identity disorder-driven heel turn and eventual redemptive suicide, and I find myself despairing of the fact that there's not yet an app for remotely kicking Joe Quesada in the nads.
Seriously, the DC and Marvel Universes, like Gotham City in 1989, need an enema. And then writers and editors who recognize that good storytelling can take place without being driven by ZOMG EVENTS which, in the long run, even up having no impact anyway.
