An opinion I can agree with:

When every scene can be tossed out or invalidated by the next creative team, it gets that much more difficult for me to make any kind of emotional investment in these fictional characters. If one creative team can kill a character and the next creative team can say, “No, that character’s really alive” and the one following that can say, “Just kidding, the previous guy’s run was a dream” then I can’t help but saying, “deal me out.”

Erik Larsen’s column One Fan’s Opinion has ruffled many feathers in the short time Erik has been writing it but, I have to say more often than not I’ve been finding myself in agreement with his opinions and the column is rapidly becoming a favorite. This week’s column hits the nail right on the head, continuity isn’t the ogre it’s made out to be but to realize that you have to have a little respect for the work that’s been done before you – something that’s been noticeably absent from many comics for the last few years.
