Also, a surprising revelation about the nature of the threat driving this first story arc. All this time, we thought it was the Enchantress, driven mad by her separation from June Moone, but it looks like there's another player behind the scenes as well:



Paul Cornell jokingly dubbed Xanadu the Wolverine of the new DC, for appearing in so many books.

I'm actually pro-comic, in that I enjoy the medium and would be sad to see its demise, so I appreciate any effort that encourages greater sales, and the trades are certainly a factor. What I was hoping DC was aiming for was not to restrict those writers who wanted to tell a larger story, but to reign in those writers (or editors) who were simply padding issues in order to stretch the material enough to fill a trade, when a single issue might do the story justice.

I think, in some cases, that may be what they're doing, though. Some of the writers seem to be at least trying for a smaller, more contained approach, whereas others, like Snyder or Azzarello, are going larger. I think Milligan's taking a different approach here anyway - I recall X-Statix and the like having a much quicker pace.

I haven't notice anyone going for the smaller approach. Which really annoys me.
