    The Return of the Letters Page

    ...so does this mean one less page of advertisements or one less page of story...?

    DC Comics will publish reader letters again

    The last published letters page was only 10 years ago...some how I thought it was longer then that...hmmm.

    Mine is going to be:

    Dear Grant Morrison,

    Why do you suck? Would it be possible for you to move on to another series that I don't like or read? That way you can have fun ruining it and nobody will care. It's a win/win situation.

    Warmest Regards,
    Carl

      Hmmmm....

      Probably a page less story; it'll help the artists meet deadlines. Funny though, with the interweb a letters page is pretty much superfluous. I wonder why they brought it back? Maybe anticipating a lot of casual readers who don't keep up with every little blurb on the nerd sites?

        I love reading the letter pages in the older comics...finding letters from the likes of Mark Waid, Mark Gruenwald, Kurt Busiek and others. Even found a letters page that has a letter from Beatles Author Bruce Spizer.

        I don't really see the point of a letters page these days...especially the way comics are going these days. They probably will cut one more page of story.
        "When not too many people can see we're all the same
        And because of all their tears,
        Their eyes can't hope to see
        The beauty that surrounds them
        Isn't it a pity".

        - "Isn't It A Pity"
        By George Harrison

          I wonder if any of the old letter hacks will return? T.M. Maple. Kent Phenis, Delmo "The Saint" Walters, Karen and Alicia Wu are some of the name I remember...

            Oh yeah, good ol' T.M. Maple...that guy wrote a lot of letters. I haven't read monthly comics in so long that I wasn't aware that letter pages have been gone for 10 years!

              OMG...T.M. Maple...Haven't heard or thought of that in a LONG time.

              Somehow the thought of a Letters Page now, in this age, doesn't make sense and doesn't feel like it would have the same impact...it might just be me though.

                It is a neat idea to bring it back. They still have reader's comments in mainstream magazines, so why not still in comics?
                It's all good!
