LETTERS OF DANIEL THOMAS ANDREW DALY

EMAIL LETTER – SENT 22ND OF JANUARY 2015

In the bible it says nobody despises a thief if he steals because he is hungry.  Fellow mankind know you have got to eat your grub to get by. Further, we know you need an opportunity to make something decent of your life and get some happiness in it all. In Australia, the law allows you to study education at a relatively affordable price to year 12.  Then tertiary options are available, hecs schemes in place for University degree costs.  An education is NOT impossible to get in Australia.  Currently, it is still not even that difficult to get. THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOUR EDUCATION IS UP TO YOU. Further, if, at the end of your studies, you start looking for work, and you need money, Australia will make sure you fill in a job diary and apply for enough jobs, but I know the factual truth that with these diaries you can get all the job applications done in ONE DAY OF THE FORTNIGHT WITHOUT TOO MANY PROBLEMS AT ALL. HARDLY A BOTHER.

And then they give you, essentially, free enough money for applying for jobs.  The Jobsearch is not incredible wealth.  By no means.  But its enough to get by on. If you live with parents, its easier, if not you have to learn good manners and good cleanliness and hygiene rules, and live as a flatmate with someone else. This is not impossible to get if you have a good attitude.  AND life has a funny way of rewarding those people WITH a good attitude. There is NO reason, nor will be anytime soon, that you can't have a DECENT ENOUGH LIFE IN AUSTRALIA.

EMAIL LETTERS SENT TO MOLKEN MUSIC AND WALLY FARKAS – SENT 1ST AND 2ND OF FEBRUARY 2015 RESPECTIVELY

Dear Molken Music. 
I am angry.  I have been a fan of King's X since 1990.  I have the complete works of King's X on CD – NEARLY. I have the complete works of Ty Tabor on CD – NEARLY. I have the complete works of Jerry Gaskill on CD. I have the complete works of Dug Pinnick/Poundhound on CD. I have nearly all the side projects of the band members on CD, apart now from 3rd ear experience, which are next WHAT I LACK ON CD FROM KING'S X I HAVE ON MP3. WHAT I LACK FROM TY TABOR ON CD - WELL I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. Do you know how much it pisses me of this effing MP3 only release. I don't bloody own anything with an MP3.Digital data?  Whoop dee fucking doo. And NO I won't just burn it onto a disc.  Because in 40 trillion years Ty Tabor will snigger at my burnt disc and bring up legalism and say 'Hey, are you sure that's legal danno?'.  And how do I know that?  I CAN JUST TELL.  WHEN THE HECK ARE THE MP3 ONLY RELEASES BEING RELASED ON CD? 
Yours very impatiently and sincerely
Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly 
Canberra, Australia

Dear Wally

I apologize for my angry words.  It is a bit frustrating, you see, from my personal perspective to put up with MP3.  I am 42 years old, and became a hard rock and heavy metal fan in the mid 1980s.

I was part of that scene of kids which were into bands like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard and Poison and Iron Maiden and Van Halen and so on.  In 1990 my family moved to Canberra in Australia,

and I got into 'King's X' at that stage, and at the school I was going to (Lake Tuggeranong College) there were a group of us who were into King's X and Queen a lot.  Later on in the mid 1990s when

I became a Pentecostal christian for a while, the canberra Potters House church I joined were also big fans of King's X, and the Christian Band we had in the church used to play King's X music with

alternative strongly christian lyrics used.  I have collected King's X Records, Tapes, Cd's and other paraphernalia since that time, and have had a long and deep interest in the band and their

associated solo and side projects over time.  As I said, I grew up in the 1980s in the hard rock scene, so records and tapes were big, and then CDs.  The MP3 revolution came along later on, but

I just couldn't get into it.  It, to me, is like not really owning anything - just a data file.  There are no lyric booklets or the booklet itself with an MP3, and there is nothing substantial that you actually own and while I myself keep my things forever, there is not really any tangible asset wealth of trasnferability with such an MP3.  It's not a collectable in any way.  Sure, I agree, you do get the music.  But you can listen to all that stuff on spotfiy and myspace and youtube anyway usuaully for no charge. I'm a little older fashioned.  Really, to me, excuse me, but MP3's just suck a bit.  And because I have everything available from King's X on CD format, as well as many records and tapes, it sort of gets frustrating that the new works from Zentaur by Ty Tabor, as well as Trip Magnet and some of the King's X stuff is only available on MP3.  It's just really frustrating. I would like, then, to make a vote to the band, if you are able to chat to them about it or something,

that it really would be great if those products could be released on CD some time in the future. I do realize financial constraints are an issue, but I really would appreciate any potential CD releases

of the said products. Anyway, King's X rock, and I will continue to by products of interest from Molken Music, and remain a loyal customer.

Yours sincerely.

EMAIL LETTERS TO MY BROTHER GREG DALY

Dear Greg

(Sent online 20th of February 2015)

I am going to post this letter into my autobiography. Well, I'm Danny Daly. Your bro.  We've known each other all our lives, pretty much.  I remember you back in Berridale.  I wanted to hold you, but mum let Brigid mainly, when you were a little tyke.  You were the new kid in the fam, and I was jealous of Brigid getting all your attention.  But I did get a chance I think.  Growing up with you as my bro was great.  Matt became kind of awkward as he grew, but you were always a cool bro. Cooma life, especially, was great.  I remember our times especially at Lambie gorge near the showground, going over the place, and exploring. To me it always looked like something a bit unexpected for Cooma - I was little shocked when I first saw it, because I didn't think something so cool could exist in Cooma.  When I lived in Cooma a few years ago I went up there walking once, and stood on the lookout tower, which I think is a more recent addition, and relived some of our memories there.  School for me wasn't that great, as I wasn't hugely popular, and I do appreciate your year putting up with my bullshit when we played hand tennis for a while in high school.  I did occasionally play hand tennis with the kids in my year, but was always a little put off by them.  They were often too much for me in many ways.  I loved when we would play with our army men

together, and have marble wars throwing the marble at the army men we had lined up to defeat each other.  I probably cheated lots of times, because I was overly zealous with my interpretations of fair play in those years, but believe me, with my rigorous educuation on spiritual things which happened from about 20 onwards I got over most of that crappy mindset.  I'm really not the kind of kid I was back then.  You might not really know me in many ways because we have been a bit stand offish for a few years now, but I've grown up for the most part.  I do know I pushed you a bit with the car to drive me around places when I was here in Canberra in the early years, but I'm a lot more cautious about asking favours now and taking people for granted too much.  I'm sorry for the way I came across at times in those early years.  I was focused a lot on my life and things I needed to have done for myself, and I should have given more consideration to how I was impacting with others in what I was asking of them.  I guess life and experience and reflection can be good teachers.  I'm pretty religious as you know, and while I would really have preferred in the end to have remained in the Catholic church, I just couldn't because of how I understood the truth myself.  I'm not really the kind of person, you know, who wants to go against their parents religion and upbringing.  I'm not.  I crave continuity and stability and tradition, but sometimes you just gotta do what you have gotta do, even if you don't like it. It's just the inner convictions some of us have.  I didn't like Matt's attitude for years, and found him very grouchy, but I was always trying hard to respect my older brother, even if that didn't come across too well.  I'm a bloody grotty sort of person around the house, and I damn well know it, and mum still complains a lot.  I am sort of still caught up in my own thing and working on my books and stories and collections of things, and I really don't give the time or consideration to more mundane matters, which I do know I should.  In the end I don't think I'm really actually lazy - more just not focused enough on practical things yet.  That will change though, in time, because I am aware of my problems and am working on them.  I must congratulate you on the choice of Christie for a wife, because she is extremely intelligent and of good humour and maturity. You have found a first class wife who you should always appreciate, and James is the best kid in Australia.  I think forgoing further education by yourself is, in the end, the wisest thing for the time being.  I would commend your music website, and encourage you to work on that idea further and get it well established.  The quality of the recording of Prince of the Blood was first class on the site.  Me - I wish I could get around to doing up a similar music site with my own recordings, but I just haven't had time for quite a while.  I've been very busy with the Chronicles of the Children of Destiny, and webhits continue to roll in and gradual popularity of the sites seems apparent at this stage.  So I'm busy enough, and things to do aplenty for the time being.  I'd love to be able to get with you and your recording music and get 'Dangerous Hearts' and some other of my song lyrics turned into songs, as I have ambitions also, and I think we work well together on that stuff.  Hopefully some time in the future.  My hope has always been that you move back to Canberra permanently, and I would recommend Macarthur nearby mum somewhere if you could afford it. LIfe's good for me at the moment, and things are going well enough, and I hope you make some good decisions in the next few months to guide your life towards a succesful and well earned retirement.

All the best.

Your bro

Danny Daly

Remember those little red bibles we got in school?  Remember they were the new testament with also the books of psalms and proverbs. One of the things I do when I pray is use a psalm for a particular request and pray that psalm fully on behalf of the request. For example, in the last year and a bit I have prayed psalm 1 for the sanctification of Macarthur (our home suburb) over 1000 times now. I also have prayed various psalms for the success of the NRL Bulldogs over 100 times, and Psalm37 for yourself a growing number of times, psalm 67 for dad a growing number of times (well over 100) and psalm 57 for mum a growing number of times.  In fact, I am probably well over 10,000 prayers used with a full chapter of scripture used over the past 2 and a half years, for every request under the sun, on a whole host of subjects, including success for Great Britain at the olympics, success for the bulldogs and hawthorn, success for the Hull City Tigers, sanctification

of every suburb of Canberra now prayed for with at least 5 prayers of various psalms used for each suburb, and many tuggeranong ones well over 100 times now each.  But I also pray for DC comics to have success, various businesses in the world to be succesful and maintain good employment programs, as well as prayers for the sanctifcation and ecnomic blessing of many countries now.  I have offered the whole of the minor prophets of the bible in prayer for the sanctification of kingston upon hull, and all the book of proverbs for the sanctification of various towns of Yorkshire.  There have been so many prayers on so many subjects. My friend Justin who visits me a lot, who is sort of a Hebrew Noahide sort of fellow, noted to me how the spirit in Macarthur feels very positive  now and lawful, especially when compared to other places. PRAYER WITH SCRIPTURE WORKS ABUNDANTLY WELL. So, if you have the time, and are willing to pray to God, use psalms as a suggestion, which is the book of prayers, and pray for things like: family members well being success of favourite sporting teams good economic success for Australia and various countries of the world And any issue under the sun really. You see, the scripture sanctifies the prayer request, and the praryers are far more greatly answered because they are far more within the will

of God. try it out

Daniel

Hey bro.  How are you.

Life has been good for me the last few weeks.  I have grown quite accustomed to living with mum, now, and until she passes I plan on remaining here at 29 Merriman Crescent.  I still hope to meet a girl and settle down one day, but that won't be for the time being.   I am taking green coffee bean again to help with the weight loss, but for someone my size it has become quite apparent I need quite a large dose of the stuff.  Mum is well, she is happy enough, and life between us is generally ok, but we do argue a bit.  But its usually under control and we tend to be forgiving with each other.  There is a girl in my mental health group called Genevieve who I have a little bit of an interest in.  She reads comics, especially Phantom comics (Like Colin Carpenter), and she is cuteish, and not too old.  I don't know if she likes me much, but if I can lose some significant weight who knows. My stories are coming along, but I'm on a little bit of a hiatus at the moment, but I'm doing a lot of basic art pieces with MS paint and putting them on my various facebook accounts.  I also have a growing number of videos on my youtube account, which I am finally bothering to have monetized.  I did that before with my old account, but it was going to take forever for me to earn the minimum 100 dollar payment because I didn't have much web traffic and views.  But now that I am promoting my new account well enough, it is starting to slowly get the kind of hits which makes having an adsense

account and monetization of videos realistic.  An adsense account can also go on your own private domain website, but you would need good webhits each day to make it worth getting.   (See www.adsense.com for more info) I'm not really looking forward to mum leaving soon, as 7 weeks is a while, but I'll live. Looking forward to seeing you soon enough, and good luck with the new plans of work and moving back to Forrestfield, which I personally think is the best idea.  Hopefully I'll visit again in a few years when you are well settled again back in Forrestfield, as I really like the house and really like Perth as well. Keep at it with the music and composition, and writing rock and roll songs is what you should keep on trying to do.

Take Care

I have bought some interesting stuff online recently. I have nearly 80 different Megadrive cartridges now (77 approximately I think), as well as a handheld Megadrive console system with about 80 inbuilt games.  You can find them on ebay.  It has very similar games to the games on the Megadrive unit I have, with some differences.  It charges via a USB port into your PC.  A recent acquisition on the Megadrive was 'Galahad' which looks great, but I haven't played it yet.  I plan on just keeping on collecting megadrive games over the years until I either die first, or actually get them all.

I bought 2 secondhand Sega Master System cartridges, Teddy Boy and the Ninja, but haven't played them yet.  I still have that Master System which Matt had, but am not sure if it works.  Matthew also had a Sega Dreamcast CD console Game system, with some games, and I purchshed a Uefa Soccer game, Chicken Run and a Toy Racer game for the Dreamcast as well just recently.  I have 7 CD

games all up for Dreamcast, the 4 matt had, and my 3 new ones.

I have a new secondhand commodore 64 which runs, with a working disk drive, and I am thinking about buying some more cartridges for the C64, especially of those we never owned yet.  I have even found online an original cartridge for the TRS80/Coco3 Tandy computer Matthew owns, which is not one in that collection which Gerard gave us.  I am thinking about buying it if it remains online for a while.

Hope you are enjoying England

Hey.  How is it going?  Well, it's been a busy year so far for me.  Done a lot of writing and video work for my youtube accounts.  The Angels Saga has over 2 Million words in it now, so it is quite well developed.  I'll possibly be going slow with it now, as it has enough for my general liking, but we will see.  Life with mum is quiet.  We watch a lot of the British TV shows like Bargain Hunt and so forth, and the quiz shows together a lot.  We read out words from the dictionary a bit to learn them occasionally as well.  I get my mental health injection once every 4 weeks, and I have only been hospitalized once since 2001 which was in 2008.  So 15 years without too many problems is a reasonably good effort now.  Still no romance for Daniel San, but I still have vague hopes for the future.  Reality is likely that when mum passes I'll buy a flat down in Cooma, but you never really know what the future holds for sure.  I've been a Karaite Noahide since 1999, and that is my stable religious faith now.  It's going well enough, and I have learned the ins and outs of it, and am comfortable with it.  I'm 43 now, don't really have any plans for employment again, and am living on the Centrelink Disability Support Pension.  With NDIS I also now get a fortnightly Taxi allowance of just over $90.  I've prayed thousands of prayers in the last few years using the book of Psalms mostly to sanctify my requests, and I'm hoping something may come of them in time.  God tells me that prayers take a while to answer and he gets around to them in time.  I'm mostly comfortable enough living at home at 29 Merriman here in Macarthur.  Me and mum get along well enough now, the arguments are quite light, and things are good in general.  I've mostly settled in life and am used to it and content enough.  I am currently getting the entire subscription of DC Comics standard superhero line of Comics, which is costing me around $400 a month.  Really, if I did have the cashola and the room to store them I'd been getting everything DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, Zenescope, IDW and a number of other comic publishers products as well.

Very much into comics.  I buy CDs regularly and work to complete the entire catalogue of albums from my favourite artists.  One of my beliefs is that what we acquire in life we acquire in life for eternity - you get what you got - and that is one of the reasons I am so dedicated to collecting so many things.  Mum is in good enough health.  She had an operation recently, but it wasn't too problematic, and is fine now.  Brigid seems to be in good enough spirits with her work.  Jacinta is ok, and the rest are doing well enough.  Things are mostly good over here on the East coast.  Not perfect, but nothing ever is.  I am still looking forward to the future, and what might possibly eventuate, but for the time being I am content enough to go through the regular humdrum of it all, and see what happens next.  So what has been happening with you?

All the best

Living in the real world, with the plethora, as the three amigos would put it, of competitive authors trying to get

their book published, it is practically impossible.  Believe me.  I've submitted heaps, and only mild interest.

The Sentapol Wars potentially could get a publishing deal, but reality is that it might get a go in a SF Short Story collection,

but possibly nothing else.  Only TEMPORARY MONEY at best.

Now, IF you sit in front of a webcam and do the Sentapol Wars chapter by chapter with a new video, and dress ok for the

video and speak as formally as you can, with a nice introduction telling people who you are and what the book is basically

about, and you upload these videos to youtube, and using MS Paint with a nice SF public domain picture photograph/artwork

piece, or something you do yourself, and use this as the thubmnail for each video, Maybe with Sentapol Wars Chapter 1 for the

first video and so on, and ensure each video is MONETIZED - And then, if you bother to build a facebook friends list to the maximum

of 5000 friends by simply making friend requests, and then go on Linkedin where you can just keep on adding friends permanently

and do the ad there also, as you do on facebook, then gradually, with the SELF PROMOTION YOU DO YOURSELF AND WORK HARD ON,

the PERMANENT nature of the income from youtube should attract you, and you will have at least made some cashola in the long term

from you hard effort at producing your masterpiece.

Self publishing is perhaps a goer, but I wouldn't really recommend it.  Only for personal copies.  THE PERMANENT YOUTUBE AUDIBOOK

PROMOTED WELL is probably your best best.

You are doing great in your work so far on the Sentapol Wars Greg. Remember, keep at it. Take your time and do some brainstorming/plotting one of these weekend, and chart out 3 or 4 more chapters. Think about making it entertaining and something which people will enjoy reading. Sarcasm will probably work well for you, so some original jokes (strive for original new stuff) done well. Crude characters can work well but need to be balanced by saints. The heart of the story is conflict, people often say. Not necessarily physical conflict, but there is a problem which needs resolution. From my experience the first major work of fiction is definitely the hardest to complete, but it becomes a lot easier with the works from then on. This is still a learning experience for you, but you will find it a lot easier in future works. Obviously you know well that Science Fiction and Fantasy authors do a lot of works in developing series of the same foundational book. The Sentapol Universe is definitely suitable for this idea, and I wouldn't really bother working with terribly much else for a long time. Having said all that, yes, definitely keep at it, and keep on going. Audiobooks on youtube is probably your best bet, having them monetized. All the best. Daniel.

Hope you are well.  Life is quiet here.  Not much happening.  Still working on my videos. Did a new story in the Angels Saga - Melanie and Daniel 11.  Quiet times mostly. Mum is out at the moment - will be back later this afternoon.  Waiting on some mail. I heard you bought a comic.  Remember, 1 comic every 3 or 4 months.  Don't spend too much on it.  And maybe a birthday present mailed to me every couple of years, of a small amount of cash (Under $30).  I'm continuing to give you $10 every week to help out with your living expenses.  I'll keep this going permanently, as I want to support you and Christie and James.  Family is important to me as well.

LIFEGIVING
When you decide to do a religious work of caring for someone, because you know you should care, you are lifegiving. When you decide to help that person who is going through a difficult time you know you are lifegiving. When you decide you may as well throw a few coins to that beggar on the street you are lifegiving. When you decide you may as well say sorry to that person you have held a grudge against for years you are lifegiving. When you visit someone in hospital is only vaguely a friend, but who appreciates it, you are lifegiving. When you decide not to write an email to somebody or text them, but actually bother writing them a letter on paper and mailing it yourself you are lifegiving. When you say to your neighbour that it is good to be alive you are lifegiving. And when you meet that perfect someone, and fall in love, and marry, and are faithful, and have children, you are lifegiving.

God mentioned to me that accounts on youtube do better and better when there is more

content for people to take an interest in.  If an account has only a few videos people might

look at them a bit, but can tend to lose interest.  If, however, you have worked hard and produced

a few hundred videos, there is a lot more things for people to take an interest in, and subscribers

become more realistic.

I would strongly advise both of you, because each of you is nearing middle age, that now is a very

good time in life, as you are still both young enough, to work very hard on weekends and things, especially

free Sunday afternoons, to think hard, think creatively, think originally, and come up with at least half a dozen

new videos for that afternoon.  You can plan out in your thoughts throughout the week the kind of videos

you could do, write down ideas on notes, and do them.  People like to watch all sorts of things, you know.

It doesn't just have to be the biggest new hit from Taylor Swift to get some people's attention.  I would stress

you need to put effort into the ideas and be original, and creative, and present it well.  And if you have the patience

continue to work hard at it with discipline the same way you work at your jobs.

After a while videos tend to catch on with audiences, and if you work hard, by retirement age at 67ish you should

be in a position, about 20 odd years from now, to actually be earning potentially a decent side income apart from

your retirement plan income.

It is very much worth the effort at this stage in life for both of you.

Yours sincerely

Slow at the moment.  Not much happening.  Been quite a busy October for video production.  Getting towards 80 videos.  Reasonable chance of making 100 for the month.

Writing has picked up in the last few days, and I wrote another autobiographical entry the other day.  It reminds me I need to do the HNF World News update

for the year - I do one yearly now, after the Grand Finals so I can put the winner in for each.  Actually, will do that after this email.  I hope Christie and James

are doing well.  I am not 100% sure if I will come and visit you again in 2022.  I have that friendship with Emma Michel in Perth, but the trip via plane is just

too much fear for me to want to deal with.  The turbulence affects me negatively too much.  I just can't handle it.  The flight back wasn't too bad as the one

going over, and I was able to eat my meal this time, but it is still too much.  Its standard fear of flying - It's possibly a phobia.  I might know its not terribly rational

as I am not stupid, but it is just too much for me anyway.  Just can't handle it.  I will come over, though, via train, if, and only if, I have decent enough finances

at the time to afford to do so.  Train doesn't bother me at all.  Don't worry about fishing around for any more videos on the laptop, but if you come over again

it would be nice if you could bring it and then I can do that myself.  Mum is of good health, and making lots of dolls from wool at the moment. She made an

excellent doll of a nurse for Trish Kirby.  It was a first class effort, and I called it Nurse Mary, but mum gave it a different name.  I am settled in life for the most

part now.  The standard plan is to buy a place in Cooma after mum passes whenever that happens.  It won't be any surprises from Daniel, as I intend to keep the

family well informed of the decision I ultimately make and be not hard to find, going back to familiar places of habitation.  I am a conservative fellow who doesn't

like moving that much and sticking with the same routine.  I would not have left AQIS if I could have afforded to keep my job but, in all honesty, despite current

appearances, I think God had a career for me in writing.  It will all work out in the end.  Hope you can get job with computers, but if you can't, getting another job

doing aged care should be available, and a sensible choice.  Take care Greg.

Yours sincerely

life is mostly going on as normal here at 29 Merriman.  I'm due my

monthly injection shortly, and have had reasonably good mental

health for a while now.  I listen to a lot of music on youtube and

have a new approach of far more regular and sedate sort of music

that I play.  I'm approaching life as of late with an attitude to attempt

to calm it down a lot more, with less tension and stressful sorts of

behaviour.  I don't go to the mental health group anymore, and quite

frankly I don't think they are the best kind of people to hang around

as they have a lot of problems, and not all of them attempt to deal

with their issues necessarily.  There are drug users in there and there

are regular arguments, and I think I am better off at home with mum

and with the family when they come and visit.  I still get my injection

with my new activities co-ordinator from the group, Dale, who replaced

Ian who replaced Adrian Chan.  Ian wasn't in the job very long.  Mum

is well enough and in good enough health.  She has ongoing problems

with her nerves in her feet, and finds it difficult to feel with them properly,

but mostly she's in good enough health, though she takes quite a lot

of pills each day.  Nathalia is growing I guess, and looks like her father

but I think I see her mother in her also.  She was here for a few days

recently with her mother, while Brigid I think was out of town with

work responsibilities or something.  I'm still collecting this and that.

CDs, comics, books, stamps, coins, magazines, toys and things.  DVDs

also.  Got most of the superhero movies that DC and Marvel have made

in my current collection.  Haven't seen them all yet, but am working through

them steadily.  Sometimes I watch movies in a spurt over a few weeks

or months, and then I don't watch for a while at times also.  Will probably

put on some new movies soon enough and do video reviews for them

for my youtube account.  Have you given any thought to the idea of

actually writing 'The Twilight Realm II' yourself?  Or perhaps you are just

too busy for such things.  I haven't written for a week or so now, mainly 

doing videos and religious writing, but will work on the Angels Saga soon

enough I'd imagine.  I'm actually gradually running out of computer memory

on my free accounts on angelfire, and a while ago they changed the system

so that new accounts don't have the file managers, so you can only use

the index page, which is not really any good for storing files on - you can

only have the page itself, which means that I really only have the 8 angelfire

accounts I have with 20 meg on them each to use.  There are a lot of old

files on them I no longer use, and with some rationalization I can update

and get a lot more memory.  For now the account I'm using still has a good

amount of memory, so for this year and probably next year there shouldn't

really be any problems in uploading the files for my stories.  But soon enough

I'm going to have to address that.  Of course, they are free accounts, and

can stay online when I've died, and I've prayed for them to be online

permanently, which is why I won't bother with paid accounts as I can't pay

for them when I'm dead.  So when the memory is up I'll either use Google

groups to keep my stories, or finish up completely.  I don't think I'll bother

EMAIL LETTER TO MY FRIEND AARON GOODSELL – SENT 24TH OF FEBRUARY 2015

Dear Aaron

My friend Justin Angold, whose father's surname is 'Holder' but mothers surname is Angold, is not really ever intending to convert to judaism.  He is uncircumcised and has made up his mind that he doesn't want to become an observant Jew.  We have been discussing the 'Assembly of the Covenant' idea, which is one of my earlier ideas of religion, which is focused on observance of the 10 commandments.  Justin wants to add to this observance of a code of law, some sort of common law, and we have agreed upon the criminal law code of Federal Australia as the basic ACT of law we will use.  He intends to ascribe each of the laws into one or more of the categories of the 10 Commandments, which he calls the Ancient Law.  Justin wants to be a 'Judge' of the law, very similar to 'Judge Dredd' ideas, with a small booklet, passport sized, which contains the law.  I shared with him Anthrax's 'I am the LAW' from the Among the Living album, which is all about Judge Dredd, and he has become a huge fan of the album.   Anyway, he has been coming over to 29 Merriman Crescent quite a lot in recent times now, and usually brings beer, which we sip out the back and chat for an hour or so.  He is prepared to commit generally well enough to the Assembly of the Covenant idea, so, seeing as I now have some sort of fellowship idea which might work with at least one guy, perhaps that might be the one you join in on us with and we can concentrate on promoting.  If you are able, just drop around here at 29 Merriman crescent after work or on the weekend some time.  We can chat and try to find a regular time with Justin for possible early discussion meetings. Does that sound good to you? Please let me know.

Daniel

PS - Justin is about 30 years old, and quite knowledgeable on Torah.  The conversations have been great.

EMAIL LETTER TO IMPACT COMICS – SENT 19TH OF MARCH 2015

Please add:

 Star Wars from Marvel to my standing order.  If you have issues 1 & 2 still available, I need them.  Next thursday morning I will deposit $100 into your bank account, and the following fortnight I will raise this amount to $150 per fortnight, which will be my usual deposit amount from thereon. This email way of ordering works well enough, and the postage is low enough, that I probably won't bother with coming into the store much anymore.  These days I order most of my stuff from ebay anyway, and as I currently receive a disability support pension for my schizophrenic condition, I don't leave the house that much anyway now.  Life is so much easier with the Internet.  If 52 continues on as normal after convergence, I don't anticipate any change to my standing order. If they completely relaunch with all the convergence titles, I will add them all to my standing order. Otherwise just what I want to add for a while.  Battlestar Galactica:  the Death of Apollo number 4.  was ok.  Nothing spectacular.  There was nothing greatly original in the storyline, and I felt a lot of people could probably have written a story of similar quality if they tried.  As I said, nothing greatly original, but it read smoothly enough, and for a younger reader who isn't familiar with 70s and 80s shows and a long history of hollywood, it would be an ok enough addition.

 Grimm Fairy tales was cool, and the new issue of Wonderland was the quality I got again from the prior issue.  Zenescope is producing very decent quality comics of great reads, and I recommend these again.  I'll be reading the new Princess Leia soon, as well as the Lady death issue I got, and will let you know what I think of them.  I am greatly looking forward to reading the second issue of Spider Gwen, and will soon get stuck into all the back issues of Justice League 3000 I have built up (I ordered all the back issues from ebay, but started with issue 11 I think it is from you guys.  I have read issues 11 & 12 and the issue 1 out of the back issues I got.  I have the full set now, up to date with issue 15, and intend to read them all over the next while.  I haven't yet either got to reading the Lobo series, and have all 5 issues so far, so will tell you what I think when I do get to it.  Most of all, I am really looking forward to issue 2 of Silk, of which issue 1 was fantastic.

 All the best

EMAIL LETTERS TO INVISIBLE REPUBLIC COMIC – IMAGE COMICS – SENT 31ST OF MARCH 2015

Dear Invisible Republic Team

I've actually sent letters to a comic company before.  DC comics, a few times, back in the 1990s. I was lucky.  I had a poem published in the last issue of 'The Demon' in its 1990s run from DC.

They misspelled my name though - they wrote 'Daniel Dacy' instead of 'Daniel Daly'. Nevermind. Invisible Republic number one was a solid issue.  In fact, great.  I'm taking a risk on some new

issues at the moment, and my comic supplier in Canberra (Impact Comics) does previews in its email bulletin of some of their recommendations, which included your issue.  I thank them for

it. I'll start with the artwork.  The ocean scene, which takes up the majority of the issue, didn't have too much dialogue, but it flowed very neatly and professionally.  I was not confused in the flow

of the storyline (which I sometimes am these days with DC issues, which don't structure the panels with as smooth a flow from one panel to the next that I would like - often I am confused which one follows after the other, which should have been dealt with by DC a long time ago).  Because I was able to read the story effectively, the artwork worked better somehow - it became more interesting and more part of the story because of the flow and smoothness.  Just my opinion anyway.  The artwork itself was great, entirely appropriate to the story being told, and I wouldn't ever want it changed. Just keep on doing it like this. The story.  Arthur and Maia are obviously well thought out characters.  They are facing struggles in life because of the situation in 'Maidstone', finding it difficult to make a living.  Of course, so much of what they are living through is a common part of humanity's struggle anyway.  Maia's choice of nobility not to kill the female soldier and save her hand from the fish shows an integrity in her heart, even when her own life is on the line.  Arthur, though, faces the cold realities of life and realizes that the soldiers are nothing but trouble, and unless they get rid of them, more shit will come to them.  It contrasts the mindset between youth in Maia in some way, not yet entirely jaded by life, and still with the hope of youth, and Arthur,

more experienced, more used to the 'shitty' aspects of life and its grim realities and grim truths.  Perhaps, in future issues, this character contrast between her nobility and his grim reality could be illustrated more. The reporter seemed very real, and while it was dumb luck which led him to find those writings, perhaps a higher power was at work - destiny or something. Anyway, I won't go on forever, but I really enjoyed the first issue of 'Invisible Republic' very much, and look forward to further issues.  I have subscribed to it from my comic supplier, and look forward already to the

next issue.

Thank you very much for your great work

Hi

(Sent via email 20th of October 2015)

6 Issues read.  What to say?  It's tight.  Proper storytelling, which should also be novelized as far as I am concerned. The Characters are engaging, but it’s weird for me personally.  You know how it is in comics.  They only come out once a month, usually, and some of the plot gets lost in memory a little bit.  You forget, especially as you get a little bit older.  It's not bogged down with too many plots or sub-plots.  It keeps mainly on the main narrative.  This can be good thing or a bad thing.  It's bad if the main narrative is underdone, but you have strong plotting and rich storytelling. There is plenty to read with the central focus.  The comic could potentially go on for a long time with the concepts presented.  Whether the readership hangs around is another matter.  They usually drop out after a while, but some titles do go a long distance.  I think this one deserves to but I know the hierarchy at Image, just like at Marvel, DC, IDW and Dark Horse, are all counting bottom dollars, and you live or die by the sword of sales figures. Hopefully the title will pull through for a while.  I love DC.  There, I said it.  And back in the 90s when Image debuted I wasn't, in all honesty, expecting much story talent from them.  It was glitzy artwork back in the day with Youngblood, Spawn, Brigade, etc.  I never really expected quality storytelling from Image.  Times change.  Invisible Republic is about as good as comics really do get.  Outdone yourselves in many ways. I will keep on buying - for the next 45 years if it keeps on coming out - as long as you keep on producing this title.  I'm hooked. Awesome work Image Comics.  Keep it up.

LETTERS TO DC COMICS

Hi. This is to the 'Justice League 3000' team.

I began reading comics from DC seriously in 1987, and soon encountered the Justice League. Blue Beetle and Booster Gold quickly became favourites, and those 60 issues of the giffen/dematteis/maguire run are some of the most treasured moments of my life. I have read DC on and off over the years, touching base every now and again. Formerly known as the Justice League was great and so was I can't believe its not the Justice League. All lovely stuff. But now you have a totally new concept, a totally new era to exploit and develop, and things are wonderful in Justice League 3000 and soon to be 3001 universe. I sense that the wonder twin will keep on resurrecting a plethora of old heroes and the like from the old days, and we soon could have a 31st century which is checking itself to see if it is really a thousand years older than it suspects it might be. The artwork is magnifique, and the strange designs of having walkways all over the place (presumably from the mind of Locus, who I adore), is brilliant. It's unique, its different, and Porter is a master. The humour works best for this team, with the heavy hitters on it, at a slightly softer level than the earlier stuff, and is working well as far as I am concerned. If possible, seeing some sort of elaboration on the human hosts from the 31st century who the league are based on might be a good idea, and having their personalities come into things a little would definitely work for me, but I guess not all of the readership possibly. Reading the first ten issues I felt like this war with the 5 would be going on forever, and it still indeed might, but I wasn't complaining, It's a great concept and should keep the ball rolling more many great adventures for much time to come. Locus, as I said, is brilliant - similar to Harley Quinn in some ways, but the demi-goddess she is is both cute and inevitably appealing to those of us who like a health dose of sarcasm which this comic faithfully delivers. The relationship between herself and Hal Jordan really needs to go on into perpetuity, and a big 'Date Night' at some future point, when Locus has started to hopefully be redeemed somewhat (as she really needs to be an antihero and not a villain, as she is wonderful), with Hal Jordan on the best restaurant in Cadmus World is definitely the way to go. I'm really looking forward to Justice League 3001 issue 1, and the introduction of Lois Lane is one of the best ideas yet. The comic is totally cosmic, deserves a far bigger readership, and DC shouldn't feel ashamed to plug it a lot, and maybe give us a cartoon series based on it.

Thanks

Re: Action Comics 559 (September 1984).

I love this issue. I recently got this comic, amongst many others, in a back issue collecting episode, and decided to read it this afternoon. I have had quite a number of back issues of Action over the years, but have never owned or read Action 559. Yellow Peri, in story one, is an excellent character. I looked her up online and found her in the DC Database. She has appeared very rarely, but looking at her images on Google images, she looks very cool and very much a happening character. I wrote a short flash fiction DC Fanfiction involving Yellow Peri and the Super Buddies from JLI this afternoon, which went into my facebook DC fanfiction page, and all I can say is please DC, give me more of the character of 'Yellow Peri'. Loretta Grant is an 'innocent' character, naieve to the machinations of her husband Alvin, but Alvin, while having married her under false pretenses, seems to have remained loyal as a husband, and the house looked clean and in working order in Apple Creek, Oregon. Bob Rozakis has crafted out a fine story, and it was a great pleasure to read. That is one of the things I really enjoy about the old DC Comics - they usually always stand the test of time as first class entertainment, even decades later. Well Done DC. Please, let me ask again, please feature 'Yellow Peri' more prominently in future releases from DC, and if she could some how get into 'Justice League 3001' or 'Justice League 3002' and hang with Booster Gold (she was a pallbearer or something at his '52' funeral - I think that's right) and Blue Beetle, it really would make my day. Thank you DC for your long life as a company, and making me happy yet again with a character like 'Yellow Peri'.

New Fun Comics number 1 (DC's first comic from 1935) featured 'Oswald the Rabbit' in his Comics debut. He was a Disney character. For a number of years now I have had the idea that 'Oswald' could be a very cute name for a pet rabbit which 'Supergirl' owns. Just something which has stuck in my head for Supergirl and Oswald, as a pet rabbit, especially for an '80s' Supergirl.

Dear Comic lovers. Thank you so very much for the brilliant Justice League 3000 series. It made my day. It ran for 15 issues. My hope and prayer to God and to DC Comics is that Justice League 3001 also run for 15 exact issues, and be replaced by Justice League 3002 to also run for exactly 15 issues. And then Justice League 3003 for exactly 15 issues, and so on and so forth, collecting each series in a Graphic Novel / Trade Paperback collection each time.

With 3002, I would also love to see the debut of the following comics, to also run for exactly 15 issues in the continuity (perfectly kept) of the 3002 era, and so on for subsequent eras:

Superman 3002

Batman 3002

Wonder Woman 3002

Cadmus World 3002

Blue Beetle 3002

Booster Gold 3002

Fire 3002

Ice 3002

Locus 3002

The Five 3002

Please, if sales warrant these titles, make it so.

Thank you DC forever.

In Justice League International Quarterly Issue Number 5 from the early 1990s, there was an adventure starring 'The Hero Group' and the 'Global Guardians'. In 'The Hero Group' was a character introduced called 'Particle Man'. I have looked at particle man time and time again over the years, and think his costume is just spiffy, and he has so much potential as a 'comedy' character. His line would be 'Life's a Party' in conversations with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Please, if at all possible, reintroduce Particle Man to the DC Universe, and popularize this greatly neglected champion of a character.

Thanks

If the Multiverse is continuing after Convergence, what would really help is a symbol for each of the different universes, especially to be used on the cover of the comic to help the reader know which universe is which. At this stage I have no idea. Further, you guys should have some sort of avenue through which aspiring writers can at least get some sort of shot at working for DC. I write a lot of DC fanfiction, and would love a chance to submit work, but you guy's don't accept submissions. It is really frustrating. Another issue: I have an issue with some of your comic cover designs. They often use more than one element of contrasting scenes, and some of the ways you are putting all these elements together have become very predictable over the last few years. Just doing a standard scene would work much better. I would recommend Zenescope covers to your artists, as they actually do decent covers for their comics, and while I am DC 100% and have been since 1987, you guys haven't always been known as industry leaders on artwork and cover design. Where is that DC 'Cutting Edge' spirit which used to set them apart? I think it got old news when Superman sold a million, and they have been rehashing things ever since. Ha ha harrgh.

Dear DC

(Letter sent online 9th of July 2015)

One of the things I would like to congratulate DC Comics for is their loyalty to older established characters. Sure, it is great and wonderful to have a new title, but I think that one of the things which the 'Splendour' of a new character often lacks is the established fanbase which the quality of the comic truly deserves, but which just hasn't been built up yet over the generations. Loyalty to newer characters and titles like 'Batman and the Outsiders' and 'Omega Men' and 'Infinity Inc' and 'Suicide Squad', as well as 'Booster Gold' and DCs take on 'Blue Beetle' (acquired from Charlton), as well as Jack Kirby's characters from the 1970s (ie New Gods, Mister Miracle, The Demon, Forever People etc), and working hard to establish traditions for these characters through persevering with them is what DC is all about, and the hallmark of a great comic company. Please stick with those characters, and the idea of a DC database on the history of those characters and their adventures (which I assume you guys probably have to some degree) is a great idea to establish and propogate their genuineness. Of course, it makes sense commercially also, as the bottom dollar has to come into the factoring of every new title. I, personally, would like to see titles like 'The Darkstars' and 'Green Lantern: Mosaic' and 'Damage' and 'The Ray' and 'Anima' and 'Valor' be rebirthed, and 'Sovereign Seven' as well as a new 'Lucifer' from Vertigo would be a great idea. Continuing to utilise established characters and building traditions of them is the hallmark of DC Comics, actually does make sense commercially, and builds up a loyal fanbase to these characters from readers who like to see their characters return, reborn, from time to time. It is a very good part of why DC is a great American comic company. DC titles - really, all of them when it comes down to it, should return from time to time, and remain an enduring part of the DC Comics tradition. It makes DC a pleasure to read from generation to generation, and is a sign of stability, continuity and perseverance, excellent qualities for superhero comics to exemplify. Keep up the great work DC.

(Letter sent online 25th of July 2015)

I have been reading through some of my comic store subscriptions. Loving Lobo Number 8 - I have every issue so far. It has a wonderful SciFi feel to it, and the action is intense. I know Lobo is an anti-hero, but if you could give him a few redeeming qualities it would be great, especially loyalty to those who enfriend him, and ongoing loyalty to his contracts. Justice League 3001 was awesome, and I am really looking forward to the Starro war. Giffen and DeMatteis are doing an outstanding job, and Porter and HiFi should never leave the team. One thing DC gave away years ago was the Letters column in their comics. But with my vote I would ask for the letters column to be restored because it brings more fan interactivity into DC Comics, which I think is a good thing. I know you guys like to do endless crossovers from various comic series to other ones, but I personally find it frustrating as I like to collect a series and be able to read the storyline of the series complete in its own title, without having to worry about going off to collect half a dozen issues from various other titles. For example the Superman Doomed storyline crossed over into Superman Wonder Woman which I collect, but I didn't get half of the story because I only collect Superman Wonder Woman of the various Superman titles. I know its a way of promoting other titles, but it just leaves a reader like me frustrated, and I would appreciate if it was only done sparingly. As a request I wouldn't mind seeing volume 3 of the mid 1980s Justice League run coming out as a TPB. I have 'Justice League: A New Beginning', 'The Secret Gospel of Maxwell Lord', and would love to see a third volume to I can continue my TPB collection of the series (yes, I already have issues 1 to 113 individually as well of the series). A complete one volume edition of 'Blue Beetle' and 'Booster Gold' for each series in TPB of their 1980s series would be a welcome addition. Though you might need to do them in 2 or 3 volumes. Of all the new characters in Justice League 3000, I enjoy 'Locus' most of all, and would love to see a Locus 3002 series debut next year, especially with her crush on Hal Jordan emphasized. Finally, I have subscribed to 'Black Canary', 'Martian Manhunter', 'Prez', 'The Omega Men', 'Cyborg', and various others of the new titles, and am really looking forward to the new 'Lucifer' from Vertigo.

Keep up the awesome work DC.

The DC gods have been speaking with me and they have their concerns. Superman has informed me that 'Completed Series' are generally what is in vogue, and the way to go. The kids like to complete their collection of a series, and after the early ages of comics when they passed issue 500 their pride was intact enough for all eternity. So Superman has requested that the current 52 titles which have continued running since their inception finish up at issue 100, and they need a rest of a minimum of a sabbatical year, before gradually being relaunched, indeed starting with Action Comics number 1 again. In the bridging period they have suggested such gap bridging titles as: 'Superman: Man of Action', 'Batman: The World's Greatest Detective' & 'Diana Prince: Wonder Woman' and so on. But they definitely need their sabbatical year's rest for the big titles, and collectors need to have some back issue time without having to worry about the new issue all the time. With the new 'Action Comics Number 1' (Volume 3) Superman has requested a small rectangle in the bottom right corner with 'Action Comics Issue Number XXXX' (being the cumulative total of comics of each series of Action Comics till that date, but only for the first issue, and Batman and the rest have requested that also, but only for the first issue of each new series of the core titles). Finally, they don't want to relaunch all in the same month with their established titles, but a little bit of a break in between the launches please. So if you could make that so it would be much appreciated. And, until then, up, up and away DC.

Dear DC

(Sent online 30th of July 2015)

Initially I also wanted the line of 52 to go on into perpetuity, and that appears to be what Dan Didio is suggesting DC is all about. Personally I think there is a lot of merit in completing series for the 'Collector' of comics, because they often want to complete a series and move on with something new. Your ongoing comic market is of buyers who often do not collect everything into perpetuity, and when a title builds up a long run, new readers often find it frustrating to have to go back and buy all the back issues, and I really do think this puts a lot of them off buying into established runs on the major titles. Relaunches and reinventions are a natural part of the comic industry and it is how it stays fresh and renewed from time to time. Sure, we love the idea of a comic going on into perpetuity, but is Action Comics Volume 2 issue number 25,366 a realistic proposition? Relaunches tend to revitalise the comic industry, and give new readers a place they can latch on to and collect from. It is admirable for DC to want to establish its titles and have no further relaunches, but I don't think, in the end, this is what the market really wants. When I started collecting in 1987, Crisis had just finished recently, and there was a fresh new spirit at DC. Do you really want to deny each successive comic buying generation their own new start? Problems with continuity, remembering the database of back issues, and trying to get a handle on the overall big saga going on becomes complicated with time, and it just doesn't work very well. Yet restructuring, having a new 'Crisis' from time to time, and a fresh new relaunch gives the newer readers something of a starting point. Weekly 52 series comic events are a great idea to have every few years, to act as a fresh starting point, and, in the end, comics history breaks down into 'Ages' and 'Eras'. DCs ideas of establishing these titles and never relaunching are definitely admirable - but I don't think they are terribly realistic in the end, and probably not what the market actually wants or needs. Relaunches give the old heroes - and creative teams - a fresh chance to start again with new ideas, and not be bogged down in years of back issue history which gets harder and harder to remember. Great idea DC, but I don't think it is the future of comics, and I think you might be left behind a bit by Marvel who constantly relaunch their titles, which, in the end, is the best way to go.

Yours sincerely

Daniel Daly

The recent burst of new titles has been great. I have subscribed to most of them with my comic store (Impact Comics in Canberra, Australia), and am enjoying them. Green Lantern: Lost Army looks really good, and Black Canary number 1 was a stonker. Please keep at it with Lobo, who deserves a long run. I'm not a fan of the new Lobo attempting to usurp the old Lobo's legitamacy in any way, coz the new guy just aint the 'Main Man'. But he rocks none the less, and he has his own style. Great look as well. Justice League 3001 started with a bang, and keep it up. Now, an issue. I know you are probably doing it because of multicultural sensitivity, because they really need a black member, but Cyborg is a 'Titan' and should be in the 'Titans' title. Black Lighting was in Justice League for a while, and I think he belongs there somewhat, but is probably better suited to the Outsiders - depends on which team he was first a part of though, because I started reading DC in 1987, and am not completely sure of some of the earlier history. Yes, the Justice League should have a black member, and ideally a Hispanic and Asian as well, but I'm big on a superhero and his or her loyalty to their 'First Team'. The first cut is the deepest, as Sheryl Crow sings, so it would be better to find an African American superhero who first debuts in a superteam which IS the justice League. Cyborg belongs in the Titans, as I have said. Speaking of the Titans, the best roll call for me is: Nightwing, Troia, Starfire, Changeling, Terra, Arsenal, Aqualad, Cyborg, Raven and Jericho (Reborn), as well as 'Impulse' (who fits in the Kid Flash role) or an equivalent. Peronsally I think Supergirl and Superboy also fit in the Titans, and a title like 'Young Justice' is just competing with the Teen Titans and is not necessary. And, finally, while it looks like you killed of 'Anima', please bring her back if possible. I miss her. And thanks for relaunching Lucifer at Vertigo, and I am especially happy that you are keeping the same Lucifer logo from the old series, as I am not a fan of DC changing it's superhero team logos (even if you want to modernize), and I also would prefer the DC Bullet logo from the 1980s and 1990s to be restored, as I think that was your best logo. Till next time, make mine DC.

Hi DC

(Sent online 20th of August 2015)

I thought I'd give you some more feedback. I am currently collecting most of the brand new titles you have relaunched. The gay scene in Midnighter number one put me off, so I cancelled that. I don't mind a gay character, but it was too explicit for my tastes. We are Robin is great reading. Black Canary is a cut above. All Star Section Eight needs an ongoing series after the mini series is complete. Starfire covers are phenomenal. The recent Lobo covers are excellent, and what I expect now. Green Lantern: The Lost Army continues to excite after 2 issues. The Omega Men has held my interest since the first issue - it will be interesting to see what you do with Kyle Rayner in the series. Lobo debuted in the original Omega Men issue 3 (I think) so he should be featured. Please revitalise the old LOBO and put him also into the Lobo Comic in the 'War of the Lobo's' storyline, then give him his own title. Suggested storyline - 'Superman: Insanity Streak'. Superman goes crazy and tries to kill everyone in the DC Universe. Green Lantern keeps him in check. Now, I really think DC needs to move with the times and relaunch its tier titles every half a dozen years or so with a new number one. 52 was a good idea for a while, but there are always new readers in the comics world, as they older ones, funnily enough, die in the end, so you need to CATER FOR THE NEW READER WHO DOESN'T HAVE 4 DECADES OF CONTINUITY IN HIS OR HER HEAD ALREADY MAPPED OUT. KAPICHE!!!. A new readere LIKES A NEW NUMBER ONE TO START HIS COLLECTION WITH. Funny that. People like to start at the beginning. Sure, they like to collect back issues as well. That's part of comic collecting, but a lot of the time they just want to start with a number one, collect for a while, and move on. So main advice: Run your series for about 40 to 45 to 50 issues, and then start again with a new number one. It's what Marvel are doing. It is what the industry wants and needs. And it will work for the best. Generally DC are doing most things correctly, and the people are happy. Finally, comic suggestion. Do 'Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice' as a comic series and run it for about 30 to 50 issues. It will collect readers who are familiar with the movie, who might not want to stay around forever, but are happy to collect that for a while. Make mine DC.

Action Comics ran from 1938 from issue 1 to issue 904 with a zero, or something like that. And the current run is up to issue 40 something. Dan Didio is claiming that DC has had enough of reboots, and I think I agree now. It's just a pain in neck.

My best thought is that, like Marvel did briefly, please add in the new issues of Action to the old issues, and

give us the real issue number, which is number 950 or thereabouts, with the zeroes and million issues taken into consideration.

And do this for EVERY title from DC which has used the exact same title in its history. So there are hundreds of 'Wonder Woman', 'Green Lantern,' 'Flash' etc etc. And, finally, if a comic must cease for a while, please only resucitate it with the 'Continuation' of the old issue numbering preserved. Naturally 'Hawkworld' must count as 'Hawkworld' and not 'Hawkman' and 'Adventures of Superman' number 423 or thereabout where it started was really 'Adventures of Superman number 1'.

It will provide a good and healthy boast for DCs superheroes, and if you can't stand reboots all the times, please just stick to your bloody guns DC, and just continue on the real numberings permanently.

And I think that is the best idea for the future.

In case you are listening, I think a heck of a lot of the time there are series you start which attract just a small tiny core of readers who will probably commit, and keep on committing, to buying each issue of the series. It might just initially have a tiny audience, which may only grow slowly. Maybe a step at a time. Something like the new Lobo, for example, which is up for cancellation (which I have every issue of so far), is a brilliant comic, but hasn't been able to get the kind of numbers DC wants for permanent ongoing release. I don't know - you guys are the comic company, and generally know how to run the show. And I know the comic store itself can usually only house so many comics. But sometimes I feel you should take a risk, and wait a heck of a lot longer on some series, just like the new Lobo, and the new Omega Men, and wait and see if that tiny initial audience, which is usually the case for many new comics, doesn't work out how great a product they have and gradually, even slowly, grow, and perhaps, after 5 or 6 years of small sales, starts really catching on. Sometimes things just take some time, you know. (In other words, persevere with the doll and she will be huge. She just needs time to grow her audience. Just persevere with her).

I know you guys probably do appreciate feedback because it gives you a good idea of what fans like and are interested in. Recently I have increased my standing order at Impact Comics in Canberra, who send me out my comics in the mail, to include nearly every regular DC Multiverse title. I'm not going to chase down all the Vertigo titles, apart from Lucifer, because my budget just doesn't allow. First, I would like to see DC maintain a certain amount, maybe 3 or 4 regular comics per month, of humor/dark/black humour / comedy titles. Things like Justice League 3000/3001, Lobo & All Star Section Eight, and even Bizarro. These sorts of titles are usually my favourites from DC, and I can ironically call my comics 'Comics' because of it. No need to overdo it, but a 3 or 4 titles out of the 60 or so comics you do each month would be appreciated. I'm a big fan of Garth Ennis and John McRea. I'm also a big fan of Keith Giffen and Kevin Maguire, as well as Alan Grant. Cully Hamner and Stuart Immonen are amongst my favourite artists, and Mike Carey's work on Lucifer was some of my favourite comic of all time. Characters I would like to see popularised in the DC Multiverse include: Particle Man from Justice League Quarterly Number Five. Harbinger from Millennium. Anima, who is apparently dead, and had a series in the 90s, being a new blood, but I would love to see her reintroduced. Yellow Peri. Jack T Chance the Green Lantern. The Original Lobo to remain showing up from time to time (and I do like the new guy a lot as well), as well as Booster Gold and (Ted Kord) Blue Beetle to remain an enduring part of the DC Multiverse. I'm big fans of you guys, and do appreciate all the good and hard work you are doing for our entertainment. Thanks.

Look, I really think I need to speak my mind and go back to what I said in the first place. It's like, there you go, a few years back, and 900 + issues of Action Comics. But who the heck can collect them all? How the heck do you get every issue? Where does the ruddy story begin and where does the ruddy story end? It just goes on forever. I think it is admirable, noble and very good of DC to be so committed to core titles that they continue producing them with numbers which, seemingly, go on ad infinitum, but its just not practical or realistic anymore. Some of us - a lot of us comic buyers - are collectors, and we like to collect whole series of things. We like every issue if we can get it. And a lot of your market is just that DC. But these days, it is just damn awkward to have to chase down endless back issues of a series which, if you leave off collecting it for a few years, has a tonne of back issues to collect in no time. It's not practical, and I just don't think it is terribly commercial or sensible anymore in this current comic era. Long runs really should be a thing of the past. 20 to 30, a maximum of about 50 issues, should be the call for each comic series of an ongoing nature from DC and, really, it should have something of a storyline, told in story ARCs, and a decent culmination to the series. But then you go off on a new title and a new direction with the character. Some collectors are there for life. Some only for a short time. And the short time ones, which is a big part of the industry, want to often collect for a while, but move on in life. They don't want an endless list to collect - but they probably would be happy to finish up when the series finishes at a suitable and reasonable number of issues. Marvel relaunches all the time. I think that really is the way to go. There is just too much ruddy back issue to collect otherwise, and often people want to chop and change on characters and comic titles anyway. It's noble, its great DC, to commit to Action and Detective and Wonder Woman etc, going on for a long time. But I think that era of longevity has come and gone. Really, time to let the epic runs go. Shorter, more realistic lengths, more mini-series, and decent story culminations to end a series. That's the way to go DC.

I thought I'd write in and give you a vote of confidence. Yes, I AM a satisfied customer with what you are doing at the moment. I read online so many criticisms about what DC is doing wrong, and it really annoys me. The stories are better than ever, and I like the titles, and what you are doing with them. I'm collecting a heap of DC comics at the moment (been at it on and off since the mid 1980s), and I think you guys are doing a terrific job. I would like to see characters such as 'Ted-Kord Blue Beetle', 'Booster Gold', 'Fire (Green Flame), 'Ice (Ice Maiden)', 'Particle Man from the Hero Group' and 'The Conglomerate' and 'The Global Guardians' reborn at DC in a big way, and would buy lots of such comics. Keith Giffen, Mike Carey, Garth Ennis, Alan Grant, Gerard Jones & the 90s writers of the 'Anima' series are probably my favourite DC Authors. So my personal vote is for those writers to write for DC. Artists I like include 'Stuart Immonen', 'John McCrea', 'Cully Hamner', 'Dan Vado', 'Travis Charest', 'Kevin Maguire' & 'Rob Liefeld'. So, just to reiterate, you are doing a great job DC, I will continue buying your comics, and I think everything is running along well enough. Not perfectly, as I have said in prior emails, but well enough.

I have what I think is a good idea. People are sort of aware of the DC Multiverse, but one thing which us fan's don't necessarily get right away is which comic features which universe. My suggestion, thus, is this: in the top right hand corner of your comics, using a logo about the same size of the DC logo itself on the left hand side, do an original logo for each of the 52 DC Universes. This way fans can quickly and clearly identify which universe of the multiverse each comic is part of. Further, I would suggest developing a line within your numbers devoted to ongoing mini-series from each of the 52 universes, one after another, in no particular order, to develop more the history and chronology and culture of each of the 52 universes. It may sound simple, but collectors also might like to collect a particular universe of titles, as they can't necessarily always afford the entire DC line by any means. What do you think? Is that a good idea?

I hope you like this idea.

So, not counting zero issues, million issues, and decimal point issues, I just got my Action Comics number 45 and Detective comics 45, and so on. Uncanny X-Men 600 from Marvel? A new number one soon enough, though, on that title. So, DC. Action - first run - issue number 904 (There was a million issue and a zero for that also). So, how about this. In the bottom of the current comic, in a lightish colour, which softly stands out from the rest of the cover (only softly mind you) how about, for Action, putting Action Comics Issue Number 954 - for the current series upcoming issue number 50. Naturally keep the 50 issue number in the standard place, but softly, down the bottom 'Action Comics Issue Number 954) and then so on for all subsequent future issues. And, in your comic issue details on the last page of the comic, in brackets, after the current volume issue number, put Action Comics Issue Number 954 and so on. But make sure it is in brackets.

Hey, don't lose your cool. I've read stuff online about October's sales figures for DC. Actually, everything was normal. Your standard sales were selling the regular amount. There are NO problems from us fans on what you are producing - we LIKE what we are getting. Please DON'T go reinventing the wheel. Please keep moderation in mind on these PLANS I have heard you are making. Before October Marvel were spillunking a heap of their big 'SUPER TITLES' like Secret Wars and Civil Wars and all that jazz. And now they have a launch of all new number ones at the moment. The popularity of Marvel, just at this moment, is NOT surprising. Guess what? It will wane VERY soon. They can't release a new Amazing Spider Man every month, and expect the market to get that excited. They have cashed in a bit - DC did it a bit when 52 was launched - but if they do it too much at marvel, it will just sink down to regular sales figures anyway, as the Marvel Zombie will stop giving too much of a concern. Go to the well too many times, it will run dry on that idea. Figures will look normal in a few months again DC - don't let the current situation worry you or go to your head.

I just saw some very decent Jason Momoa Aquaman comic artwork online (on facebook actually). Hate to say it, but if DC did a Multiverse Earth 2 Aquaman (or similar idea) with a Jason Mamoa Aquaman, it might be a good idea. Dark hair, with blonde streaks, and the Pacific Islander looks. On another point, hopefully new Blue Beetle and Booster Gold series are just around the corner. And make sure Lobo doesn't stay away too long.

I have heard about Rebirth. Company wide relaunch with new number 1s the whole line. 52 to run for 52 issues. Excellent. In the end, the general way to go. I applaud you. I look forward to collecting the entire rebirth era. Hopefully the current relaunch from Marvel will follow a similar 'Era' idea. And that is the thing, I think. 'Era's'. Comic collectors often hang around for a long time, but often they don't. And as you have done for ages, finishing up a run with a certain number of issues gives a very good and decent opportunity for collectors to collect the entire run. You guys know this now. What I would like to see, if possible, is 'RUN PLANNING AND PLOTTING' were you practically specify the number of issues and plot out a sort of overall story, in arcs, for the entire run. Things which are introduced in earlier issues of the run and resolved by the end. A sort of overall plot and idea for the series. Now, Rebirth should ideally run from 50 to 100 issues, and, quite frankly, a new logo might be a good idea. When the Rebirth era culminates (which is my suggestion) then go on to something like 'Reset' and then run that for 50 to 100 issues. And then run something like 'Recharge' for 50 or 100 issues. Then something like 'New Beginnings' for 50 or 100 issues. then something like 'Restart' for 50 or 100 issues. Then something like 'DC Century' for 100 issues (ie A century of issues - 100 of them). Then something like 'DC Empire' for 100 issues. Then something like 'DC Multiversity' for 100 issues, and so on and so forth. Just a suggestion. As always, make mine DC.

I have another suggestion. Quality ideas are hard to get. Try as you might, sometimes it can be a challenge to come up with a decent plot. I know very well that DC has wide resources available to them in literary fiction writers, but you should really be plotting ahead decades now, and even centuries. DC is here forever by the looks of it. My suggestion is this - use the talent pool out there who are happy to submit story plots, ideas, and even written stories. Take this information, pay them reasonable amount for it, and put it into a reservoir of 'Future Titles'. These future titles are to be slowly (very slowly) worked upon, tweaked, refined and rewritten by your professional team of writers until a decent final product is ready. You don't have to release it yet - it might be decades - even centuries depending on the quantity of submissions you get - before you can release the title. But, again, key ideas are hard to get, and there are only so many original plots and stories in the realm of knowledge anyway. English has only so much original syntax after all. Personally, I think this investment in story ideas and plots is worth considering for DC - planning ahead for the future market is always a good idea - and while you might have plenty available at the moment, it never hurts and always ahead to think very long term ahead, and plan way ahead into the distance. Get all the good ideas now and you won't have to worry further down the track when a future Story Editor says 'What do we do now?' This is just a suggestion. I've got stuff i'd like to submit if you ever did do this, so please consider the idea. Loving DC Forever.

Starfire needs a Nightwing (Stars at Night). Hawkman needs a Hawkwoman. Green Lantern needs a Red Lantern. Wonder Woman needs a Wonder Man (Hopefully Marvel will eventually sell the rights to ya).

Dear DC. About 2050, whe you get over it, remember:

Justice League 1-6 from 1987 are the first 6 issues of Justice League

Justice League International 7-about 25 from about 1988 to about 1990 I think are the first of those issues of Justice League International

Justice League America 26 to about 113 from about 1990 to about 1995 are the first issues of Justice League America

Justice League of America from the 1960s are the first issues of those runs

AND YOU KEEP EXACT SAME TITLES

The same fore EVERY SINGLE DC TITLE - EXACTLY THE WORDPERFECT SAME TITLE - AND THEN YOU ADD UP ALL THE RUNS

OR ISSUE NUMBERS OF EACH TITLE WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TITLE AND CONTINUE THE NUMBERINGS FROM THEN

And that specificaly Superman is the 'Superman' titles, with the first old run added with the 1987 new number 1 run and recent runs

And for every DC title

And you get the idea

And when you finish a run for a while

And you relaunch that exact title again later

you do so CONTINUING THE NUMBERING

AND YOU GET THE POINT NOW

But only after you have had your fill of these blessed and lovely relaunches with new number 1s

So when the rebirth era is finished, add up all the Wonder Woman titles with that exact title, and that is her number of issues, and the same for 'Batman' and the same for 'Superman'. Blue Beetle might have to have charlton comics considerations. That might be ok to use them as the original numbers. please consider it.

WE DON'T NEED RELAUNCHES FOREVER - JUST TILL MID CENTURY WHEN PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR FILL OF THAT IDEA

Daniel

Dear DC Comics

(Sent online 27th of February 2016)

I would like to reiterate a suggestion I have made. I have thought it over and think it is generally the best way to go. From about issue 18 of the new rebirth era DC should return ALL titles to their original numbering. And this should be done for the exactly specific title of the comic. For example, Justice League is different to Justice League America which is different again to Justice League of America. So only the EXACT comic title should be the compilation of all issues under that exact comic title to determine the numbering. Blue Beetle began at Charlton and I feel those issues of Charlton should be also part of the exact numbering sequence for the total number of Blue Beetle comics. The 80s/90s Justice League titles had Justice League 1-6/Justice League International 7-24 (I think) and Justice League America 25 - 113 (or thereabouts). Those exact titles should be part of the total of the numbering sequence. Further, when you reintroduce an old title please re-continue the numbering sequence already established, and use something like 'First Issue of a Brand New Era' but with the continued on number on the cover. That idea was done for a Legion of Superheroes issue once in the 90s. You guys would know that many titles have about 12 issues in their lifespan, so gearing up a title with the same creative talent, and expecting it to finish then is probably a standard way of doing business. For example, something like 'Martian Manhunter' or 'The Spectre' or 'New Gods' has probably 12 issues on any relaunch, so continue the built up numberings, use the same creative team for all issues, and then on to another title for that slot again. I really think continuity and building up of the numberings for 'EXACT TITLES' would be the best business policy, and further strengthen the idea at DC at the moment of character 'Legacy'. Please consider these ideas. I really would prefer it as a long-term DC comics collector.

All the best from Australia

Times change. I wasn't born yesterday (1972 actually) so I do know styles, tastes and cultures change. And even superheroes develop and change somewhat. I suppose that's an inevitable thing as we move forward constantly. But one thing which was true for a long time was that heroes like Superman and Batman didn't really kill - and Batman didn't use guns. I remember a comic I read from about 20 years ago called 'Batman: Seduction of the Gun'. I think certain DC movie scriptwriters could do a wise thing by looking through such a tome. Certainly, there was a thing for a while that the world of Batman needed to get Grim and Gritty to deal with the kind of scum he had to face. And that is what has happened. But while I'll never be far from buying a DC comic from a shop or online, I'm not 100% sure if the whole DC gang has quite worked out the legacy or the ethos of its cardinal heroes. The good guys get the bad guys arrested in the end - they don't blow them away. Sure, everyone understands how the punisher works, and that's the way it is for Frank Castle. But Batman is not the Punisher. And Batman doesn't NEED to be the Punisher. He's the Dark Knight - but he's a KNIGHT. And his ethics on guns and how they are USED to kill people is well established. Batman DOESN'T kill. The Super Friend I grew up with back in Berridale in the late 1970s DOESN'T kill. And that Batman on the silver screen in 1989 DOESN'T kill. I hope you remember that DC.

I have four story requests. Firstly, could you bring back 'The Grey Man' and 'The Lords of Order and Chaos' from the 'Justice League' series of 1987, in the first half a dozen issues. Please bring him back in a future Justice League comic, and do more on this character. The second is please bring back the 'Anima' character from the 90s, and perhaps put her in a Teen Titans comic. Thirdly, could you please bring back 'Dr Stratos' from Adventures of Superman 431 from 1987. This was one of my first DC comics read, and Dr Stratos swore revenge on Superman at the end of the issue, which has never been addressed since. Finally, could you please use 'Yellow Peri' in a future Superman comic, and develop her character a bit more. She is one of my favourite characters from DC, as well as the 'Harbinger' character from Millennium.

I think the Multiverse of 52 universes is definitely the way to go for DC. Milestone needs to be one of the universes, and it might be easier in a practical way if you had a LGBTI universe, where 'Midnighter' could fit, and other LGBTI characters. It might be a more practical and sensible solution, which people might be more comfortable with once they get used to it. Further, having an Icon for each universe in the top right hand corner of the comic would be the best way to go. To clearly identify each of the universes. There would be the Milestone Logo, a logo for the LGBTI universe, and one for the Earth 2 universe, and so on. Also, the older DC Logos should be used and have a universe of their own which feature the primary comics and characters used in that era of the DC universe history. I think we are up to about our 8th DC logo used so far, so it would be for the best if you brought them back to be used in the top right hand corner of the comic to be the logo for that particular universe. The left hand corner would be were the current DC logo remains.

Hopefully these are practical suggestions which you might think about.

Scott Kolins work on Justice League 3001 is great. But its the colouring from HI FI which has made sure they have a kick ass team to do the art for my favourite comic. I really miss Howard Porter, who was brilliant, but Scott Kolins is cool. However, it is the new girl I am liking in the 'Ariel Masters and Lois Lane' stories at the end, Colleen Doran. She is excellent, smooth as silk, and very, very good for doing Science Fiction work of cityscapes and techy drawing. I think she would be wonderful on a relaunched 'Legion of Superheroes' book or some other Sci Fi work from DC, something which involves space ships and techy city designs. I'm currently subscribed at my local comic store to the entire DC Multiverse of comics, apart from the Vertigo ones, of which I only get Lucifer. I get some others also from Marvel and Image and elsewhere, but I make sure I get EVERYTHING from the standard DC Universe line. I'm really looking forward to 'Scooby Apocalypse' with Giffen apparently writing it, and yes, I do collect the standard Scooby Doo and Looney Tunes comics as well. I'd actually like to see you guys do 'Animaniacs' again. Daffy Duck is my favourite looney tunes character.

Cyborg is a 'Titan' - NOT a member of the Justice League. The 8 members of the Justice League of America are

1) Superman, 2) Batman, 3) Wonder Woman, 4) The Flash, 5) Green Lantern, 6) Hawkman, 7) Aquaman & 8) Martian Manhunter.

Katana indeed looks cool in the new Suicide Squad movie, BUT she is AN OUTSIDER. Please fatten up Amanda Waller a little bit. Not as big as she was to start with, but please fatten her up some. It's just not authentic otherwise. Black Lightning is an outsider, and bring them back soon please. Green Flame (Fire) and Ice Maiden (Ice) are GLOBAL GUARDIANS. Please also bring Booster Gold and (Ted Kord) Blue Beetle into the Global Guardians. They are now ready to join the team. And Captain Atom also belongs in the Global Guardians, as does Crimson Fox. Metamorpho is an Outsider. Elongated Man fits in the Global Guardians. Please see if Chris Claremont will do Sovereign Seven again, Darkstars needs another run, Anima needs to be brought back from the dead, and Lobo needs another run soon. Blood Pack, Xenobrood, Primal Force& Infinity Inc need to return soon with their original lineup. Gunfire and Anima need to go into Blood Pack.

On your 'Who's Who' section on the front of you main index page on the website, you need the 7th member of Hawkman.

Hawkman is supposed to be in the Justice League of America, as well as Martian Manhunter.

Shade the Changing Man needs to return to Vertigo soon. Sandman needs to start again at Vertigo very soon. If you can't get Neil Gaiman, try Mike Carey. If not Holly Black would be great. Kamandi needs a new series in the DC Universe very soon. We need a new 6 issue kids mini series 'Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane' followed be a 6 issue kids mini series 'Superman's pal Jimmy Olsen' (and it would be a good idea to include bizarro with Jimmy again). A 7 issue series 'Clark Kent: Reporter for the Daily Planet' would be a good idea, We need a 12 issue Maxi series 'Brave and the Bold' again. Showcase 2018 (12 issues for the year) is a must, and if it does well enough 2019 also. DK IV needs to be in the works for the long term. 12 issues of 'The Watchmen Return' is a good idea. 8 issues of 'Slash Maraud: Hell's on Fire' is a great idea, and 'Tailgunner Jo' has been very patient (I love that one). The original 70s Starfire needs to show up with the Titan Starfire, and The Warlord needs a new mini soon enough. Tradition is the heart of DC Comics. Please don't forget.

Debuting in Blue Beetle VERY SOON - 'The Christmas Beetle'. She tells very bad jokes, dresses like a Christmas Beetle, has a tendency to go to seedy bars and try to pick up sleazy looking fellas, and is very fond of Ted Kord. She has long strawberry blonde hair, is quite attractive, of medium build, ample breastage, and single and looking. She workd for Kord Industries, and was motivated by Ted Kord to become a superhero. She's everything a Blue Beetle needs and more.

My favourite Super Hero is Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), but I love all the Blue Beetles. I've been praying for the Beetle, and one of my hopes for the new series is to see the original Blue Beetle 'Daniel Garrett' resurface. I've written my own fanfiction on 'The Blue Beetle Corps', which was answerable to a Guardian from Oa, which has been fun, but it would be great if you could do a Blue Beetle Corps in the Blue Beetle Comic. I would love to see the classic villain 'Overthrow' return to the Blue Beetle series, as well as Carapax, and also with more adventures on 'Pago Island'. I'm currently subscribed to the complete line of DC Comics, including the kids comics, but only Lucifer from Vertigo. I'd get everything DC produces, but I can't quite afford that in my budget, but the new price of $2.99 for most comics now sounds great, and I might be able to get the Vertigo line soon enough. Finally, a 'Blue and Gold' comic series featuring Ted Kord Blue Beetle and Booster Gold is long overdue, as is a 'Fire & Ice' comic series starring Ice Maiden and Green Flame.

Keep up the exceptional work.

I think, generally, it is the best way to go at the current time to run 'Era's' in comics. To me the '52' era has been a success. For most of the issues it had its own original DC logo, which was great. But with 'Rebirth' we have the new logo, which is a traditional looking one. 52 issues - long enough for an era, and it offers collectors of back issues the opportunity to realistically 'Complete' that era of comics. That is probably important. The ability of a fan to collect their era of comics if they choose, and not necessarily have to go on collecting more into the future, but having all the comics they wanted, and be happy with that. But naturally some will go on collecting. Rebirth is a wonderful idea, but before it has even begun properly, if I were running DC I would be making plans for its ending. Probably about 60 issues for the main core titles which go the distance. I know the Rebirth was not technically called a 'Relaunch' by yourselves (from what I read online), but in a practical sense, yes it definitely IS a relaunch. And realistically, about 60 issues from now, you need to do the exact same thing again. A complete (or 90% so) company wide relaunch with new number 1s, with a revitaiization of the line which, by then, is starting to get old a little bit. Not that that is a bad thing at all - it isn't. But as you know with television shows they often run a few seasons, then people invariably want something new. I've offered some suggested titles for the next relaunch before, but how about 'DC The New Agenda' as one of the possible relaunch titles at a future date. A new logo, naturally, and I would consider a variant of the late 70s, 80s, 90s early 00s logo. Not quite the same, but a variant, as tradition is important. You would probably want to then continue the number of Action and Detective uninterrupted, like you have wisely chosen to restore for Rebirth. For the next relaunch (if you choose to do one) a long planned essential 'Plot' which is woven through the entire run of the universe over the span of the era might be an idea to consider. Some central themes which underpin the whole era. Was it julius Scwhartz who said DC needs a cleansing every decade or so? Yes, to me, a long term fan and collector since 1987, relaunches are now a great idea. A bit of pride may insist that you doggedly stick to your guns and run the series with the new numberings permanently, but Action and Detective probably suffices on that. You guys are doing excellent work. All the best from Canberra, Australia.

* Establish the Milestone Comics universe as one of the 52 Multiverse Universes

* Make Scooby Apocalypse set in the same Universe as Justice League 3000 & Justice League 3001, sat at a date a bit later after the deaths of the Superheroes as discussed in Justice League 3001, and please have that history of the death of those superheroes discussed by Velma in a history lesson for the crew.

* Integrate the Flintstones and Future Quest in also in the 'Hanna Barbera' Universe of the Multiverse.

* Establish the Looney Tunes universe as one of the 52 Multiverse Universes - as you already use Captain Carrot this shouldn't be a problem, right?

* Establish a 'Mad' universe, and use Alfred E. Neuman as one of the chief crazy characters in this universe, with Lighter Side of Life adventures and Spy Vs Spy adventures and so on.

* Bring the Vertigo characters into the main DC universe, especially Lucifer, Elaine Belloch and YHWH (the old man (God) in the bowler hat)

* FINALLY, please establish a 'Logo' for each of the Mutliverses, and place this at the top right of the Comic, with the DC Logo on the top left.

Asterix does it. So does Tintin. But, in truth, their catalogue is not huge. But I would suggest DC does its ENTIRE back catalogue of comics as Trade Paperbacks. ALL the way from the Golden Age onwards. Further, they should all be for sale in DC Mega Stores. Large cities could home a DC Mega Store. New York could probably home 2 or 3 DC Mega Stores, the same for Los Angeles. Sydney and Melbourne here in Australia could also use a DC Megastore.

Hope you like the suggestion.

I want to commend the Superman team for the recent 'Vandal Savage' story arc which ran across various Superman comics. I didn't read every issue in the storyline, but did read a few, and it was a very dramatic, intense and extremely cool and well done storyline. It definitely deserves a TPB of its own. Regarding supervillains, it would be cool to see 'Doomsday II'. Another Doomsday creature, not the same as the first one, slightly bigger, slightly harder, and slightly nastier. He fights Superman again (doesn't kill him this time) and Superman says 'This time I'm not going down without a damn hard fight'. Don't kill off this Doomsday, though. Keep him as a permanent part of the DC Universe. DC needs a permanent Doomsday. He just needs to be around. I do like the way DC establishes characters and keeps them going permanently. I have read the first 3 stories in DC's Legends of Tomorrow so far, and the Metamorpho and Sugar and Spike stories were very cool. Hats of to Keith Giffen for writing Sugar and Spike with style. I loved it. I was a little concerned that Sugar had actually killed the Killer Moth's henchmen so casually, but then it was revealed they were tranquilizer darts. Thanks DC for not going towards the killing of people so casually way. I know Deathstroke does what Deathstroke does (same for Deadshot and Lobo and others), but your more regular characters have a sense of ethic about that, and I appreciate that.

Great Work DC

I'm not 100% sure how its been selling for you guys, but I'm reading 'Legends of Tomorrow' and hoping it kinda goes on for a while. I've noticed its gotten up to issue six, and it doesn't seem to be part of the September solicitations, which may mean the end of the series, which would be a shame. I understand if the sales aren't really there you can't really justify the title and have to move on, but I'm committed to the title however long it lasts. The best two, for me, are Sugar and Spike (which is great) and Metamorpho, which is almost as good. Keith Giffen is probably my favourite comics writer when all is said and done, so it might not be a surprise that I like Sugar and Spike as much as I do. I wouldn't mind seeing a romance between them akin to 'Moonlighting'. Thanks DC for remembering the little guys in the DC universe, and as soon as I get the new Blue Beetle issues, I'll let you know what I think.

DC was a New York company. It was East Coast. It was in a world were the spirit of America is older than its West Coast rival. They moved to the west coast, but DC AREN'T West Coast. They are EAST coast. They are older America. LA has too much glitz and glamour. It's too wild west in its spirit. Ask John Constantine if you don't believe me. My vote is that in a few years, maybe a decade, DC move permanently and eternally back to the West Coast, and make Washington DC their permanent eternal base of operations. DC are National Comics. And they are DC comics. That equals the nations capital of Washington DC. They symbolism and credibility of DC is all about old World West Coast, and they will do it best at Washington DC. My vote is, in time, please move permanent and eternal base of operations to Washington DC. I have also prayed to God Almighty about this, and will continue to pray for this to happen.

It is time for 'DCTV'. A free to air DC Comics Television Network. You have done heaps of movies an television series practically since the dawn of DC comics back in the 1930s, and the way it is going in society, with the continued and growing demand for Comics related shows, there is no reason it can't develop and get bigger and bigger. Don't be wussy and put it on paytv - go straight to free to air. Plenty of free advertising for the comics also, obviously, and lots of new shows, shows on comics, and comic conventions, and new superhero and other shows, not forgetting Vertigo and Milestone and the rest. Please, also, get around to a Blue Beetle cartoon and a Booster Gold cartoon, and a Lobo, Darkstars, JLI, Anima and Red Lanterns cartoon also, as well as All Star section Eight.

Well, Rebirth has been a phenomenal success. Well done DC Entertainment. I would like to take this moment to reflect on what I think has been a wisdom of DC in the last 5 or so years. It began with 52 being completely relaunched with new number ones, and then coming to a successful enough conclusion of things. There were criticisms of 52 - everyone knows that, but that is probably inevitable. But one thing it did, with its unique logo for the era for the most part, was create an 'Era' of comics. This is very important, I believe, for a very fundamental reason for serious comic collectors. It gives people who were in many ways 'Born' on that era of comics a very realistic opportunity to collect that complete era of comics. Not just for the diehards who want many, and sometimes even all, but for the standard sort of collector who may only collect one to a few series. This is not new - series have completed on and off since comics began. But it is a more organised thing now, and with the logo and title used for this era, and that it all fits in the same era, I think this becomes naturally attractive. Now, with that said, Rebirth is doing stonkers, but things do cool down. So my suggestion is as I have previously suggested, and should be planned (If you run with the idea) as soon as possible, being that at about issue 60 of Rebirth you relaunch the entire DC Universe yet again, creating a new 'Era' with a new logo also. It should be the necessary revitalization for DC at that time, and give yet another opportunity for new collectors to enter in. The current spate of about 20 odd DC movies coming up, in my mind, reflect the Rebirth era. New things beyond 2020 should possibly be factored into the next era of DC comics. My primary suggested title is 'Recharge'. This is my suggestion - naturally you make your own decisions at DC comics, but I do know you listen to feedback, and for many reasons I think its the best way to go.

Yours sincerely

You are going well at the moment. Some things will fail VERY soon though without changes. Suggestions: Run Green Lanterns to issue 20 and change it to Green Lantern Corps, the same for Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, which you should change back to Green Lantern. Cancel Deathstroke and put him in Teen Titans. Bring back New Gods, The Outsiders and Omega Men, but lose all the pseudo-spirituality for Omega Men, and return it to its 80s characters, uniforms and superhero stylings, and put the new Lobo into it. Bring back Darkstars. Cancel 'New Superman' at issue 20 (it won't work in the long term), and put him as a recurring character in Action Comics. Harley Quinn can afford ONE permanent title. Supergirl series should be called Supergirl, and the same for Superboy, which just run while sales are strong. Legion of Superheroes should be called exactly that and run permanently, even in low sales times. Red Hood and the Outlaws is just currently popular but won't be in the long term, but would work well in an ongoing Robin Title as a supporting character. Bring back Hawkman which should be run permanently, even in low sales period times. Nightwing is strong enough to run solo permanently. Only keep Batman and Detective comics for ongoing Batman, but relaunch Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and Batman: Shadow of the Bat. Relaunch Superman: Man of Steel and Adventures of Superman. Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman & Green Arrow should just run permanently as is. In a few years run a Martian Manhunter series for about 15 issues. Justice League of America and Justice League International. They are the core Justice League Titles - the rest are redundant. Occasionally titles like Extreme Justice and Justice League Europe and Justice League Task Force for mini-series, and the basic title 'Justice League' doesn't really need to run at all. Justice Society of America should be run in an occasional 4 issue mini series. Darkstars can afford a permanent ongoing. You should run a Justice League International Quarterly for about 18 issues, and a Green Lantern Corps Quarterly for about 12 issues (Featuring Jack T Chance). Infinity Inc should return for a 12 issue Maxi Series, Watchmen should run for a regular ongoing, and Hellblazer belongs in Vertigo. See if you can get a decent Sandman writer for 75 more issues of Sandman. Other than that, business as usual. Do all that and you will get over all the new junk, which won't have the legs in the long term.

Some Ideas: Bring back Doomsday, and put him in a suit. Have him be a noble savage, sort of like Vandal Savage, and have him educated, and can speak, and give him a sarcastic charm and sense of humor. Remember those old 60s issues of Action Comics when they say 'The world does not need you Superman' and 'Who needs Superman' and so on? Well have an issue like that with Doomsday on the cover, sitting on a crude rock throne in front of the Daily Planet, with Doomsday saying 'Go Home Superman. I'm in charge now.'

I have previously suggested an idea for a sequel to your crossover megaevent Genesis called Exodus. I have an idea now which, ironically, might work on the third book of 'Leviticus'. Poking a little bit of fun at the book of Leviticus, it is about 'The Lawgiver' who is an alien overlord in the employ of Darkseid, who Darkseid uses to bring 'Order' to the Galaxy. It is a dictatorial system, of cruel overlordship, and the heroes rise up in a spirit of 'Freedom' to end the reign of terror. The fourth in the series is obviously Numbers, and I don't have an idea for that yet, but you could have the return of the Lawgiver in Deueteronomy (which means second law) which is his second attempt at a universal dictatorship. You would use wisecracking sarcasm about the bible, but not too heavily naturally, just a bit of fun, and explore ideas about law and freedom and the balance between these two opposing paradigms.

Hope you use the idea.

I read that DC legend Julius Scwhartz said that DC needs a revitilzation every 10 years or so. Personally I think the concept of 52 worked well enough in the end, and that Rebirth should continue with that idea and run for about 60 issues. Then a new revitilzation in the Julius Scwhartz tradition of a new 'Era' of comics. I suggest 'Recharge' followed in a future era by 'Restart' which concludes that trilogy of 'Re' ideas. Then onto DC Century which the main volumes run for 100 issues. New eras, which in practical reality are in fact Relaunches which Rebirth really was in truth (you are not fooling anyone Geoff Johns), are an excellent starting point for new readers to join the DC collector community. They are a good opportunity for some new number ones from new titles also, and a fresh start as always. Attention spans in this 21st century of the modern era are a little bit shorter than the 20th century, and I think about 5 years is enough time for a revitilzation now. They also allow the opportunity for back issue collectors to collect their entire runs without having to worry about issue numbers over 100 which can take a lot of effort to track down (believe me). Eras are the way to go.

DC forever.

I recall you guys having a bit of a go at Manga style comics a while back. It didn't really quite catch on then, but I think this is one of those examples where if you persevere with the idea it will probably work in time. Especially in romance comics, which I think DC Manga Romance style comics could probably do very very well after a while. DC have done a lot of romance comics over the years, and I really love a lot of the Manga romance stuff myself. A Justice League title done Manga style would probably catch on after a while. I am pretty sure there is a permanent audience for Manga from DC - it just needs some time.

I would like to restate again an idea I have suggested. Julius scwarz taught that DC needs a complete cleaning out and reboot every ten years. At this time, with the current strong interest in comics, I think it is about 5 years. Rebirth is doing well, and DC were the top company on the charts for 3 months, but Marvel retook the top spot in October. Rebirth should run 5 years, probably to about issue 60 for the series which go the distance, and then you need another relaunch/reboot. I suggest the title, again, of 'Recharge'. It could potentially involve the Green Lantern Corps and being, akin to the recharging of the rings, a recharge of the DC universe involving the Guardians of Oa in a storyline perhaps similar to the Millennium series of the late 1980s. Whatever it is called, I do think you will inevitably need another start again in about 5 years. 52 ran for about 4 to 5 years, and honestly I think this is about the natural legs Rebirth will have before a restart is needed. Comic collectors come and go, and I really think some readers will want to hop off at the end of Rebirth, whereas a host will want a good opportunity to hop on to DC at a suitable starting point. The popularity of the early Rebirth comics in terms of their prices as back issues is testimony to this fact. Please consider the Recharge idea DC - I think it is in the company and comics best interests.

FAN FEEDBACK. I really like the DC Superhero Girls graphic novels. I would love it if DC continue to publish new ones of these on an ongoing basis, using the same logo, the same format, the same writer and the same illustrator. Currently I am subscribed to from Impact Comics in Canberra to the entire regular superhero universe of DC comics, including Annuals, mini series and specials. On my budget I can't afford the DC Young Animals imprint (although Shade the Changing Girl looks great), and I can no longer afford the younger readers titles or the Hanna Barbera titles. I only get Lucifer from Vertigo. My favourite recent titles were: The New Lobo, Justice League 3000& 3001, All Star Section Eight, Starfire, Legends of Tomorrow, and I thought the Batgirl series by Brendan Fletcher was incredible. I'm a big fan of Brendan Fletcher, but Keith Giffen is my favourite writer.

Most of the big titles bi-monthly??? They'll be up to issue 50 each in less than 2 years from now. Does this mean that DC have worked out that the attention spans of many comic readers is often now quite short, and that they need something brand new with a brand new number 1 often very quickly or they get bored with a title and move on to something else? Is a company wide relaunch now due again in 2 years? I think it should be. Call it 'Recharge' and give all the heroes their own special 'Recharge Rings' with suitable individualized powers from the Guardians of Oa. Keep on going with bimonthly, and then relaunch again after another 40 issues. Call that 'DC Century' and run it for 100 issues. Suggestions of course. But if DC really intend to run their titles permanently now, as the fuss around the rebirth seemed to suggest was going on, I wouldn't mind hearing about it from a DC announcment or something. I'm on many DC Facebook groups, and word gets around what's going on. I'll have to get DC Direct Currents to make sure I stay informed. Either frequent revitalizations with relaunches company wide or permancy of numbering with the same titles is the way to go. One or other course of action, I think, should be decided upon for sure and made known by DC to their fanbase - if possible.

And so on and so forth, with the original storylines and similar artwork, and the same writers if you can get them, from heaps of titles in your back catalogue. Same original DC logo for each as well.

In the early days comic companies, including DC, would often continue on comic numberings of series, even after a number of years had lapsed.

PLEASE DO THIS DC. PLEASE RELEASE 2 OR 3 EXTRAS EVERY MONTH. PLEASE BUILD THE OLDER SERIES.

I've been collecting DC comics regularly since 1987. Obviously I'd like old series continued on with after a while also. Don't let the final issue blurb on the cover put you off. I think it's a great idea. Please consider it.

I thought I'd let you know, I'm quite a religioius person, a biblical creationist, and torah values. But I am tolerant.

That said, I really do like the 'God' character from Lucifer in Vertigo, and his grand-daughter Elaine Belloc.

Just thought I'd say again, Sugar and Spike from Legends of Tomorrow was excellent. I know the series was a low seller, which is a shame, as I thought it was wonderful. The firestorm and Metal Men stories were ok, standard stuff really, but Sugar and Spike was awesome. The Metamorpho storyline was quite strong. Good read. Not a top tier character, but the writer and artist did the character justice. I know you can't do these characters too often, but I'll vote for them, whatever that is worth.

You probably have about enough permanent ongoing titles. They are selling well. I've just seen the December top 50 on previews. They are doing ok. You know, if the titles are selling well, and the market is happy with the number of titles you are doing, you don't technically have to release a new series each month. In earlier years it wasn't always done. Many titles come and go, but many of them also get a bit of a fanbase. Personally, for the annuals, I think it would be best if you didn't do numbered annuals, but did the annuals with the year of publication. For example 2017 Booster Gold Annual. They also don't necessarily need to be done each year, as long as you just put the year the annual comes out on. I think instead of trying to relaunch past titles, which is a hit and miss affair, it might be just easier to do an annual from time to time for them. You could do a few annuals each month this way. Making them 80 page giants might be a good idea as well. Rebirth could run for 50 issues easily. You don't really have to do another relaunch - I think you could just persevere with them and aim to get them up to 1000 issues if you wanted to over the long term. I am not sure if relaunches are really necessary that much anymore with the success of the titles now. The first runs from the Golden Age ran to big numbers as you know. Maybe some patience, now, DC, and no cashing in, and concentrate on quality stories and artwork to sell the comic rather than a 'collectors' new number 1 issue. Usually, in the end, the comic will sell if it is quality.

I have no idea what DC plans for the future. Ideas I have: Maybe a relaunch after 60 issues of Rebirth. I've suggested titles - here is some more. Ground Zero, following on after the Rebirth. 'Life Begins', following on with life in the DC Universe after its Rebirth. Or, if Rebirth is a period of infancy, maybe follow that with 'The Age of Innocence' about childhood youth period, and perhaps follow that with 'Coming of Age' or something similar. Just ideas DC. Commercially the comic market would probably welcome another relaunch after 60 issues of rebirth. Apart from Action and Detective, the heroes don't need huge issue number runs anymore. Eras are much easier to collect.

I am currently collecting the new 52 series 'Hawk and Dove' online from ebay. I have noted it has Rob Liefeld as artist. Rob was on the original Hawk and Dove 5 issue mini series from the 1980s. I collected that when it first came out. I started collecting DC Comics in 1987. Thank you for using Rob as the artist on Hawk and Dove again. If possible, could we have another Hawk and Dove series, with Rob Liefeld as the artist, in a few years. A 5 or 6 issue mini series would be fine. Again, I would like to request that you do mini series of older series from the 1980s and 1990s, and that you remain faithful to these creations. I will continue to buy such products from DC Comics.

He has problems climbing buildings (Uses his grappling hook which crashes through windows and gets arrested)

He has problems landing the Batplane (The edge of the plane scrapes along the concrete, and Batman says 'I've always

had trouble flying this thing')

He has problems fighting villains in china town, kung fu warriors (Robin is left fighting them as Batman takes an important

call, waves at Robin as he is being beaten up, and shakes his head over Robin when the fight is over, who is lying

beaten up and bleeding on the ground and says to him 'Hopeless')

There have been multiple printings of Action Comics Number 1 from 1938 over the years. These back issues sell well, and tend to be collected and rise in value. Could you please, though, release a 'True' new printing of Action Comics 1, not any special markings on the cover at all, or anything like that, no special millennium edition or anything, just the standard original cover with the current DC logo at the regular price, and put the printing number, which should be, according to the following information, the sixth printing:

Beginning in the mid-1970s, DC reissued several of its most popular Golden Age comics as "Famous First Editions", including Action Comics #1, published in 1974. These reprints were oversized, roughly double the size of the original editions, and had a cardboard-like cover. The interior, however, was an exact reprint of the original comic, right down to the ads. As a result, the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has since the 1970s published a warning advising that attempts have been made to pass off the reprint, stripped of its Famous First Edition cardboard cover, as an actual #1. However, the Guide does not cite any actual instances of this.[31][32]

DC reprinted Action Comics #1 in 1988 as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Superman that year. This edition reprinted only the Superman story, with a 50¢ U.S.A. cover price.

The complete issue was reprinted in 1998 with an additional half-cover featuring the Superman stamp from the U.S. Postal Service's "Celebrate the Century" commemorative stamp series along with a "First Day of Issue" cancellation. It was sold by the U.S. Postal Service, shrinkwrapped, for $7.95.

The complete issue, save for the inside front, inside back, and outside back cover, was reprinted in 2000 as part of DC Comics' Millennium Edition series of reprints of famous DC comics.

It should be noted that the 1988, 1998 and 2000 reprints were published to the page-size standard of the 1988-2000 period, and not the larger page size utilized by Action Comics in 1938.

So please give us the sixth printing, as a regular issue, with the current normal comic price for Action Comics, and the current logo, and please do not make this in any way a special edition, just a standard printing.

Further, over the next year after number ones new print, please release the second printings of Action Comics 2 to 12 from the 1930s, simply and purely as second printings, no special editions at all, because as a comic collector I just want the standard comic, with just the new printing, and please PLEASE put the printing number in the comic details publisher section at the bottom of the page inside the comic were it usually goes (currently near the end of the comic).

I am willing to buy these early printings of Action Comics for my collection. It is as simple as that, and I am 100% sure many other collectors want them as well. I JUST WANT TO COMPLETE MY DC COLLECTION DEAREST DC.

And Detective and Batman and Wonder Woman and so on from the early days, the second printings, would be great.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL THEM CLASSIC EDITIONS. THAT SUCKS. JUST THE REAL AND GENUINE SECOND PRINTINGS, WITH NO FANFARE.

Been thinking about it. To start with core titles at DC ran into the several hundreds. In the end, it might be best now to do this

again, and take the current volume runs seriously. DC Rebirth should, in my current opinion, run into several hundred issues

before any potential relaunch. With the new movies I think rebirth probably has long enough legs in it to justify just keeping on

going with the current run numbers. Batman, you see, complained to me that 52 issues of the new 52 was cool enough as a

concept for his second volume, but the third volume better not be a joke because 'He's a tough bat'.

WHAT I'D DO WITH THE TITLES

Action Comics - go back to issue 900 odd, whatever it was, which started the current return to numbering continuity of the title, and then, 6 issues at a time, done in story arcs, only on an ad hoc basis, utiilizing the current DC logo at the beggning of the run, release the prior 6 issue numbers that began at issue 957 (just checked) so I'd release new stories of issue 951 through to 956 with the current logo. And then, maybe a year or so later release issue 945 to 950, again with that current company and title logo, telling the prior adventures of action comics in that continuity with the same current logo.

Further, I'd go back to the new 52 Action Comics series, and with the same company and title logo used for issue 52 I'd continue on with issue 53 for 6 issues at a time, released on an ad hoc basis.

Then for the first run I'd continue on with issue 905 with the company logo and title logo exactly the same, and run that six issues at a time on an ad hoc basis.

But then you need to go back to issue 644 I think it is, because Action Comics Weekly ran from issue 601 to issue 643, and you would need to 'PURIFY' the run and release the issues of 643 on the third run back to issue 1.

For the second run of Action Comics weekly you need to do the prior 600 issues, again using the title and company logo of the first 601 issue back to issue 1, 6 issues at a time, to complete and purify the run. And you could continue on with issue 644 of Action Comics weekly 6 issues at a time also, on an ad hoc basis.

FINALLY for the original PURE run of 600 comics, use the title and logo from issue 600 and just soldier on with that.

They have to be released only sporadically on an ad hoc basis. The purpose is to PURIFY THE RUNS AND THE COMICS TO ERADICATE ALL THE CREATIVE DC MANAGEMENT BULLSHIT.

And you do the same with all the other titles.

Now, you also just continue on with the titles from the various eras which have seen the EXACT SAME TITLE re-released as a new volume later, and just continue on from the last issue of the title, with THE SAME COMPANY AND TITLE LOGO and just do new issues at an ad hoc sporadic basis.

DO THAT FOR 10 YEARS AND A LOT OF DC BULLSHIT WILL DIE.

Good to see Justice League 3001 in Blue Beetle. Very satisfying. More please. In all honesty Rebirth looks about the best DC have done over the years. The covers edge out previous generation covers, which is the clincher for me, as the remainder is not too dissimilar to recent times.

When I was young I bought the 'Dr Who Technical Manual'. It was more than just the DR Who magazine, and had technical aspects of Dr Who to it. Personally a Technical Manual of Metropolis and a Technical Manual of Gotham, with things like plan layout for the Daily Planer and its roster of workers, and major landmarks of Gotham city, or the external monitoring capabilities of the Bat Computer, well, that could be interesting stuff to Canonise by DC.

After years of considering the issue, I have this current conclusion. Endless supplies of new number ones for established titles, just to garner sales, is a bit fake. The current spate of Marvel number 1s will last a while, but they'll do it again soon enough. Totally fake. Ok, the 52 concept ran for 52 issues - fair enough. But the Batman volume 3 is now past 52 and taken volume 2, so, when it comes right down to it, for my own buying power vote I would really prefer if you just continued with the standard numbering of where the title is currently up to. I would probably lose interest in collecting new DC Comics if there was a relaunch down the track, mainly to just complete my collection and finish up with comics. But if the numbering continues I will maintain a spits and spurts approach to building my new issues collection, working on the missing ones as back issues. This is how my Aussie dollars would be spent on DC Comics. I've been on two minds on the issue for a long time, but in the end I would probably rather have the same title with a large sequence number run which just keeps on going, so I can keep on collecting it steadily and building that run. A long run is what serious comic collectors probably want in the end anyway.

I know Blue Beetle doesn't have a huge fanbase.  Certainly not big enough to warrant permanent ongoing status, but just recurring like many of the titles.  But he is quite old as you know, and as he is my favourite alongside Booster Gold, it would be appreciated for his next run if you could introduce a sidekick.  Perhaps 'Megabug' or something similar and appropriate, who is younger and whom the Blue Beetle trains and advises.  Further, could you please go through the back issues for the series in a future series development (whenever it comes along) and develop a proper and lasting pantheon of arch-enemies.  Superman and Batman have their traditional foes, as do most of the major super-heroes.  If possible could you use villains from Blue Beetle's past (especially the 1980s series, with villains like Catalyst, Carapax and Firefist) and make them permanent adversaries of the Blue Beetle.  Please develop him, albeit slowly, into a similar franchise like Batman and Superman, with traditional themes and adversaries and sidekicks.  It would be appreciated whenever the next series comes along.

I collect the full run of DC titles (apart from Vertigo, excepting Lucifer).  I collect in spurts of a few issues usually.  I've been collecting Rebirth since the beginning, and have about half of the issues so far of the entire load.  I have been very curious to see if there is title propogation beyond issue 52.  There has been.  If it is the general plan of DC to continue the numbering of the titles, which seems to be the purpose of Rebirth, into a modicum of perpetuity, around November this year, when I return to my full budget after a loan repayment scheme concludes, I will likely be deciding to go every month permanently, and getting all the back issues missed online (which are occasionally collected that way anyway, to slowly fill in the sequences.)  After some thought my ultimate conclusion, for my vote, is that I would prefer DC continue the standard numbering on its current titles in a more permanent framework.  Marvel make a joke of it with a new number 1 for their main titles constantly.  DC does this too, but is not as hypocritical.  If you go to permanence - which equals credibility and not a cashing in mentality (selling out) a true DC collector like myself will favour you and collect permanently.  This is just my vote.  Letting you know.

A new Superman number 1 defeated the point of Superman Rebirth. If you do it to Batman it will kill the whole Rebirth concept, and your line will have gotten to the point where the investor/speculator will have had enough. If you follow the Marvel policy and just continue to relaunch your titles with new number ones, in the end it is a good thing, but your sales will halve. All the reasonable volume numbers are gone - Batman volume 1, 2 and 3 numbers 1s have come and gone. The new superman number 1 is like volume 5 or 6 or something, and it just doesn't mean anything as a number 1 any more. Frankly, who cares. It doesn't have any collectable value or status anymore. It doesn't mean anything like that any more. Sticking with the Rebirth numbering will have value on those rebirth number 1s if you get them up to issue 120 and beyond and keep on going with them, demonstrating that rebirth wasn't a joke. Their volume number credibility will have some credibility then. But if its a semi or piece by piece relaunch, then the speculator investor is probably finished with comics. That doesn't matter though - your readership will halve, which it is currently doing on the sales chart, but it will survive with the core readership who 'Read' the comics and collect them because they like comics, and don't care about all the 'Hot' number ones and 'Key Issues' and all the other bullshit. I began collecting DC comics in 1987, before the hype of the Batman movie pushed up the back issue price of Batman comics into the stratosphere. DC was pretty dead at that time, and only genuine readers were hanging around. I've gone through the eras collecting comics since then, because I like comics. But a lot of your readership don't give a damn, and look for hot artwork and special issues. New number 1s I don't think will impress those with decent comic lore knowledge any more, and apart from attracting young readers a bit, which is a good think when it comes down to it, unless you persevere with the rebirth numbering, expect sales to plummet. That is what is happening on Superman, as you would know. Nobody cares about volume X of superman. Big deal. He's lost some credibility with a number 1 cash in. Get over it DC.

It always helps to pay homage to past traditions and things which built DC Comics.  They've had good ideas at National and DC since the 1930s.  It's always good to remember that legacy, and forge ahead with new stories and adventures from well loved favourite characters.  People often form attachments to minor characters also, and a DC database of past characters which are re-used from time to time, especially characters which managed to secure a 'Title' for a time, is essential to reinvigorate these characters in the DC universe as the years pass by.  You certainly need to stay abreast of the times, and especially SF related ideas, which is often a benchmark for superhero comics these days, but you also should preserve the integrity of the history of DC, and be a company which is not simply about making money, which is always the bottom dollar in the end, but which also cares about its overall fanbase, its readership, and the love the readership has for the company and its characters traditions.  You can't let this tradition and affection interfere with sales though, so only so much nostalgia is acceptable, as you need to still move forwards, and move with the times, and create 'Cutting Edge' stories and characters which the emerging new generation of comic readers will find appealing.  Some times, in honesty, I think DC's cutting edge is a few years behind other go-getters in the industry, choosing sensible things from what they have seen work here and there.  But to be number one DC has to be the house of ideas, and take the risks, and do things the other guys haven't had the inspiration or courage to do yet.  Take the bull by the horns DC - go out there and be brave and bold like one of your flagship titles says you will be.  Dare to challenge convention and produce some rip-roaring epic comic superhero escapades.  Let's not get too predictable DC.  Superman still has a thirst for being 'The Man of Steel'.

Hello DC Comics.

I'm Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly from Canberra in Australia. I have been collecting DC Comics seriously since 1987. Currently I have over 1000 DC Comics in my collection, including a decent bunch of silver and bronze age issues, amongst a lot of modern agers. My favourite titles include Justice League International, Anima, Green Lantrn: Mosaic, Lobo, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, The Demon, Starfire, Lucifer & Black Canary. I'm 45 years old, born in 1972. I write DC Comics fanfiction which i feature at my Noahide Books website. I suffer schizophrenia, and receive a government disability support pension. I am single, straight, and live with my mother Mary in a home she owns outright. I mostly collect DC Comics, but also some Marvel and Indies. I have owned all the DC and Marvel official live action films on either VHS or DVD (from the wikipedia list of DC and Marvel films), up to date with Avengers Infinity War.

How about doing Justice League of America as the second Justice League movie, and bring in Shazam.

And Justice League International as the third in the trilogy, introducing a bit of comedy with Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Fire & Ice & Guy Gardner.

And you could use the line:  The Only Thing Greater than the Justice League of America is the Justice League International in the promo trailer.

Do a Ching Lung mini-series with sarcasm.  Make him a sarcastic character who cracks crude jokes.  Get Keith Giffen to write it and have Batman appear locking heads with him.  Have Ching say to him, 'Nay, Batman.  I think I am the greatest Detective of them all.'  Ming the Merciless is his role model.

Jack Woods appeared on the first issue of New Fun Comics (No 1) in 1935.  That was your first comic.  He appeared on the cover.  He appeared in Adventure Comics 39 to 42. BRING HIM BACK.  He's the number ONE character at DC.  Older than Ching Lung.  Put him in Suicide Squad.

3 Suggested 4 issue mini-series run over a year, with distinct stoyrlines which connect together to form an overall story. A trilogy.

1) Superman and the Justice League of America

2) Batman and the Justice League of America

3) Wonder Woman and the Justice League of America

An atlernative Multiverse Universe Jason Mamoa Aquaman is the way to go.

And the 'black' Starfrie in Teen Titans TV series should also be used in an

alternative multiverse. You can't change the traditional characters ethnicity,

as that just wouldn't be right in the end, but you can do different versions of the

heroes as different ethnicities in the multivrerse. If DC does it in the movies it

would be best for the comics to reflect this also, to justify what is done in the

movies and for the character in the movies to not be fake. If you do this for

Jason Momoa Aquaman he would be 'Real' as a genuine fullblood DC character

and not just a halfblood.

In the early 1990s I had some plastic playing cards. They were plastic and flexible, but could split

easily enough with the nature of plastics then. 15 or so years later I bought some cheap plastic

cards again. This time they were a lot more pliant and flexible, but would not crack or split at all

hardly. Very durable and long-lasting stuff.

Some sort of mylat/plastic comic sheets for doing printed comics on could be done. With the right

sort of material used you could produce comics which would never wear away so quickly like paper

and which could last thousands and thousands of years with proper care and storage. Far, far more

durable stuff. The staples could also be made of some sort of hardened rubber/mylar/plastic substance

and made to last.

These are comics which would be around in the "Long Term" and a far more attractive option for the

comic collector who wants a long term investment, especially dynasty comic collectors.

I was looking at the JLA 80 page giant no 2 from November 1999. At the end it tells things the Executive Editor does, which includes making sure the universe - the DC Universe - moves forward. So obviously you have to advance with the eras, and stay current, but also set the pace in the comic world at times. Indies do a lot of that - setting the pace with new ideas and innovations. But the big 2 really should be doing their share of the work in this respect also. A title like 'Naomi', from my perspective, having looked at the blurb on Previews, seems to be setting a bit of new ground for DC. The idea of using a first name as a comic title is somewhat original, and comes across well. In a forward thinking DC Universe I would suggest that is a good idea. We can have all the cool titles under the sun, with superheroes who are superly cosmic, but I think Naomi, a simple name for a comic, is actually, perhaps, very forward thinking. But maybe more than that. It's a name. A real person's name in a sense. And a popular one. And it is that idea, coming into the real world in a sense, which is perhaps more than just forward thinking, but eternally constant thinking. It's an idea which can remain in every generation - a comic called Naomi. Superman does his thing, and the moniker will probably remain popular, but cottoning onto things which naturally endure, like a comic called 'Naomi' is probably a very good idea. Maybe DC could consider going on with traditions in society in future comic titles of things which resonate, not just with this current era, but with every era. Interesting.

Keep at it DC. Luv ya stuff.

Back in the 1990s DC did more than just Annuals and Monthlies.  They also did quarterlies.  There was Justice League International Quarterly and Green Lantern Corps Quarterly.  The Annuals come out once a year and the monthlies come out once a month.  The quarterlies are also natural enough ideas coming out each of the 4 seasons.  They had Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring used in their little info box on the quarterly also.  I would suggest this is perhaps a normal idea for main tier comic titles, and encourage the possibility of DC considering doing quarterlies once more.

Now that you have recontinued the original numbering for Action and Detective I have a request.

Please keep crossovers with other Superman and Batman comics AWAY from Action and Detective

and further please provide them with mostly standalone issues.  I would like to see the integrity of the

overall runs of Action and Detective maintained from all their history and not get them confused with

having to connect to storylines from various eras of DC comics with titles of Superman and Batman

comics which are here today and gone tomorrow or restarted today and tomorrow.  It becomes very

confusing when you do this  Please keep these two prermiere titles separate in a large sense,

and usually with standalone stories.  That would work best for me and I think for the integrity of the titles.

Further it would give the reader and collector a sense of being able to buy a Superman or Batman

comic knowing it is part of a larger legacy and not getting tied into confusing story arcs from various

eras of 52 and rebirth and post crisis and pre crisis and you name it forftuture eras.  Keep their integrity

within their title and mainly standalone stories.

WRATH OF HAWKGIRL

Hawkgirl sits in her nest high in the Dessalark mountain ranges in northern Thanagar. She has gone enviornmental, as these are troubling times on Thanagar, with sanctions against Thanagar put in place by many planets because of a current spate of Thanagarian propganda by 'Thanagar Glory' an elitist and racist right-wing Thanagarian movement promoting the Thanagars natural rights of power in the galaxy. Because of the sanctions Thanagar has had to revert to fossil fuels and the like to find power, as the big fusion companies of 'Intergalaga Energy' have pulled their companies and intellectual property out of Thanagar because of the anger in the local region over 'Thanagar Glory'. Wandering into her crypt one day comes a young male Thanagarian, who has been beaten up, but tells her of a plot of Thanagar Glory to start war with the local stellar systems and claim Thanagarian Sovereignty over the region. Hawkgirl gets very angry, and rises to power in Thanagar on what becomes the opposition, and in a story of freedom redeems Thanagar for the 5 year tyranny of reign by 'Thanagar Glory', restoring peace in the local space sector.

I just paid off a months supply of your entire standard line at my local comic store.

I order a full load of comics every now and then, and gradually buy back issues online

to fill my holes.

I suppose you guys average maybe 50,000 comics per month ordered over you full line.

Don't really know for sure.

But as a purchases of your comics, and quite a lot over any given year, I have a tiny percentage

of voting power on what I'd like to see.

Firstly, for my tiny voting power I would like to see current titles committed to and continued with.

Things like Martian Manhunter and Mr Miracle and Raven and very, very many others do indeed

work best as mini-series of varying lengths. They invariably get cancelled as oingoing series as the

demand just does not seem to be there for permanency, and I think you guys have figured that out

after all these years, and that there is sufficient demand from the fanbases of these characters for

an occasional mini/maxi series, but probably not more than that any time soon. So that is the way

to go for the majority of your characters. On that being the case, I would like to vote for a new

Justice League International / Justice League 3000/3001 maxi series as soon as possible, by the

usual team, as well as a Blue Beetle Maxi Series, a Booster Gold Maxi Series, a Lobo Maxi Series

and, if possible, a Fire and Ice Mini Series with Ice Maiden and Green Flame, and it doesn't have to

be by Keith Giffen, which would be wonderful though, yet can be more serious if you like. Also, I read

all of the Black Canary series from a couple of years back, and that was great.

So with my meagre voting powers I would encourage you to maintain big tier titles which can carry

month to month sales, from now on, permanently, WITH NO RESTARTS WHICH ANNOYS ME, and

just continue the practice of releasing mini/maxi series for lesser titles.

I would really like to build this current Batman volume run and the other titles which started at

rebirth and are still running, well into the future - a good few decades personally.

All the best

I wholeheartedly support TPB GN collections of DC Comics.

They are very collectable in my book.  Early printings are definitely

desirable and I value such collections.  A first print of Sandman

volume 1 is definitely a collectable and worthy money to me.

A first print of 'I can't believe it's not the Justice League' TPB

is also valued by myself.  I am very happy to ascribe from me

personally value and worth in collectability to TPB GNs, especially

early printings.  The printing edition on a comic or TPB GN is

Honestly, after the success of Deadpool, giving Ryan Reynolds and his current

popularity another go at Green Lantern might be a wise decision. The first

movie was ok, but doing Green Lantern Corps with Ryan Reynolds, and tieing

it into the DCEU would make a wise financial decision. The franchise could be

rescued with a carefully written plot, and choosing sensible roles for John Stewart,
