Literally dc drives me crazy. They own some of the most iconic characters in history and yet they employ some of the worst writers I have ever seen. There’s some point at which the bubble has to burst, right? I mean, the characters popularity can only take them so far. If they keep churning out crappy stories written by (imo) awful writers people will just, stop caring. What is dc’s game plan I genuinely don’t understand 😭
For all intents and purposes, the comic book industry is currently experiencing a huge boom, and it isn't predicted to decline in revenue any time soon. There's a lot of conflicting information on what the exact percentage of rising sales is, or even which comic books sold the most in the past year, but they are 100% making a large profit from these books, no matter how shit they are. 
A major problem (and benefit) for American comic publishers is that people will buy products just for a character’s appearance in an issue. Writers have learned that it doesn’t matter how good you write because there will always be fans willing to buy. I mean, just look at Nightwing (2016) or Robin. So for now, yes, DC isn’t going to suddenly change and start making good series again, but maybe in the future it’ll be possible to get more fresh blood into the industry who do write these stories.
