Ads

So, DC Comics is starting to put ads in their comics that are split page ads?! Sheesh. This is a horrible idea. I'd sooner not buy their comics anymore than have to look at these things. I'm disoriented enough by full page ads breaking up a story; half-page ads will be worse, especially if they're as hideous as the ones the articles shows. How anyone thought this would be a good idea is beyond me. Way to go, DC! Just when I was thinking of expanding the total number of DC comics I buy due to my being genuinely interested in the new direction come June, especially with so many characters I like getting books written by some of my favorite authors, like Starfire, for instance. Now I'm going to have to rethink this.

  1. This really is a horrible idea. It takes you right out of the narrative. Are there really that many ads? I have to admit to just ignoring all the extraneous stuff.

    1. It seems to be in titles I don't read, so I don't know how prevalent it is. I hope it goes away soon, though.

  2. You really have to wonder sometimes. It is though they are trying to ruin things on purpose.
