The reset button

Now I'm not talking about the button on your game machines. This is all about the reset buttons in comic books. For instance the story line Blackest Night for DC is a reset button. They did the story line to bring back any character that they killed off in the past few years. It is an insult to the readers that were invested in the older stories, and some of the stories that they are retconing aren't that old.

Marvel was even more disappointing with their most insulting reset: Spider-man One More Day!!(dramatic thunderclap) Now I know I'm not the first person to rag on this story but I mean come on. First let's talk about what happened just before that.

Before One More Day was Civil War. During that rather good story arc Spider-man revieled who he was. Now the powers that be in Marvel said that they would not change anything back because they had stories to tell with this version of Spider-man. Then out of no where it was announced that even though Aunt May said "Don't save me I leaved a long life." he still sells his love to the devil to save her life. This is not how Peter would be. All it was was that they just didn't want Peter to grow up.

So let me know what reset buttons you hate.

A little blog where i'll talk about things that just piss me off in the world of comics, video games, movies, t.v., and books. I hope you enjoy it.
