Heck, Green Lantern/ Green Arrow came about because the book was getting cancelled and they still gave it a dozen issues before relegating the characters to back-up stories in other books. I remember comics in the ‘90s that, while maybe not the best, were given time to find an audience and grow a following. Perhaps it’s also a product of our now now now culture, but it just feels like things are not allowed to really get momentum anymore. A person on the radio the other day said we had just passed the second anniversary of the first Covid outbreaks and I almost had to pull my car over because the thought that that much time had passed without me even realizing it made me slightly ill. Now, if you asked me what happened a year ago I’d have to search through photo archives and Wikipedia articles just to tell you what was happening. When I was younger, years felt significant, and each month seemed to have it’s own flavor. I’ve spoken to a lot of people my age, and this seems to be a common issue we all have taken note of.
Maybe it’s a sign that I’m getting older, but time just does seem to feel the same way that it used to.
