Yeah. It was the exact opposite of what they should have done.

Yes. It had some good runs but most of them were awful and the big brain move of completely changing Iconic characters and their backstories and destroying years of established continuity in the process was a bug fuck retarded idea in the long run. It is like they wanted to kill off their reader base.

It was better than Rebirth.

Better than Modern DC.

Better than what is currently going on with DC Comics. At least Straight White Males were allowed to exist back then.

DC never recovered from this

Yes, though in a way that wasn't obvious at first. That's why it had huge sales at start and seemed like a success. It was creators throwing every crazy thing they could think of at a wall and some of that crazy shit was cool. It only later became apparent that it wasn't planned or coordinated at all and it just ruined most characters.

what should they have done

No, it was really good.

New 52 unironically saved DC and the industry as a whole. DC’s sales were in the shitter when this launched, it’s WHY New 52 happened

>New 52 unironically saved DC and the industry as a whole
how so

Temporary sales spike at the cost of long term readers is not saving anything.

It was awful. Not enough transsexuals and blacks. Too many sexy women with breasts

Not temporary, it lasted for years and their trades kept rising every year to the point that they were making a ton of money every year from them.

Agreed. I haven't read any of the bigger titles but the smaller titles like supergirl, swamp thing, sinstero, and the red lanterns were solid

Don't forget fucking up the few new characters that had found a following like Jaime-beetle.
>Everyone loves his family and friends right how we could improve that?
>I know let's make everyone recoil in horror at Jaime and cause him to run away so we never hear from any of them ever again, BRILLIANT!

new not good

it was the worst thing ever it shit on key characters like batman, superman, wonder woman, teen titans, martian manhunter, wall west and harley quinn

yea

Yes.
