This is a simple enough question but I'm sure some fans opinions differ. Pet peeves. Must haves. A little bit of this or that. The thing is, what does a comic have to have or have to not-have to get your stamp of approval? For you to put down your dollar what are the five rules that would make up your personal Comics Code? Go into as much detail as you want, put them in any order, etc. but... DISCUSS!
I'm not sure if I can get five off the top of my head. Here goes though...
1.) Good consistent artwork. If an artist can't draw a hero's symbol right half the time or make the character look the same on page 3 as he/she/it does on page 8 then I'm not wasting my money.
2.) ANYTHING created or co-created by Steve Ditko or Jack Kirby MUST be showcased appropriately. I haven't touched a Spiderman comic in years. And being as deep as we are now with a line wide reboot at DC and an additional relaunch some five years later... you'd THINK by now we'd have got a Question comic or something of a mini series or maxi series featuring New Gods. And poor Guardian can't get any respect in the comics OR on tv...
3.) Big changes to status quo in a monthly series have 3 issues to keep my interest.
4.) The source material can never be forgotten. If it's a reboot, or a new legacy being born, the comics have to stay true to their origins.
5.) Gonna need more time to think about the last one LOL. Knew I wouldn't get five right outta the gate...
