@joe6954 @Br0nxBlogger @OneNoxPiece Yes, they had in effect in the comics universe.

And we’re talking about how the New 52 screwed over the DC’s comics universe for over a decade, besides a few titles.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@QuestionStan23 You say that, but remember, 5g almost happened.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@JohnRithszn @QuestionStan23 Can you believe there was a time that people genuinely thought that Marvel WAS going to replace their main universe?

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@fuckebok @OneNoxPiece The problem here is that the Ultimate Universe was its own thing, while the New 52 replaced the mainline continuity.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@joe6954 @Br0nxBlogger @OneNoxPiece Animal Man & Swamp Thing introduced the Elemental Parliaments besides the Green, such as the Red and the Rot.

The new Vixen series is supposed to have a focus on the Red, with Animal Man & Swamp Thing making an appearance.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@iREUS_SA “The story will explore the Red, with Animal Man, Swamp Thing, and the Green also expected to appear.”

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@EstroGwenuinely @birthdaybashed Tbf Batman, and most of the good New 52 titles, could have easily been told in with pre-flashpoint canon.

@Man_of_brown @ManRitan @Fenrirtheicewo1 DC has been using the success & goodwill from the Absolute Universe to get their shit together with their mainline, and are releasing a lot of solid titles.

That along with smart & cheep products like DC Compacts & DC Essentials, and they’re basically dominating the Industry rn.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@Fenrirtheicewo1 While I’m not thrilled with this either, Alan Scott isn’t technically part of the Green Lantern Corp.

So I don’t think this series would work out that way.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@Man_of_brown @ManRitan @Fenrirtheicewo1 Comics WERE dying.

Most of them are doing a lot better today.

Creator owned & indies are on top.

And DC has been killing it since they started All-In in 2024.

Only Marvel has been struggling thanks to brand synergy.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@votannkin @Warsmith_Diego @MoarSilverware @BattleSquire90 I think the authors are just making a fun show dude.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@DeuceForThree They broke up in a pretty decent Secret Six miniseries last year.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@Sprocketguys @UltraNosk Tbf, they kinda have:

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@Zakuno2 @Sprocketguys @UltraNosk That pointed ended about two years ago.

DC has been doing really well recently with a lot of titles.

It feels like they’re using the goodwill they’re getting from the Absolute Universe to get their shit together with their mainline.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@Zakuno2 @Sprocketguys @UltraNosk With how good most of their titles are doing, along with good products like DC Compacts & DC Essentials, they’re currently dominating the industry at the moment.

@coreyinbayern @bornposting I’d argue that Ultimatum is what condemned the 1610 Ultimate Universe to a slow death.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@PetoriaCitizen2 Probably not since Miles has existed for over a decade in comics, and is one of the surviving Ultimate characters that were brought over to 616 due to how popular he was.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@ShinyStallion9 @DanGuy96 Fair enough.

[Gomora121 @Gomora121]

@ShinyStallion9 @DanGuy96 I disagree with your second point.

While Absolute is certainly doing most of the heavy lifting, a lot of DC mainline have been good since All-In.

Plus, DC has been good on the market side of things with things like DC Compact & DC Essential collections.
