She did what?! Did he
just say that?! How is that even a
thing?!
How often have we as comic book readers found ourselves
saying or thinking such things? One of
the trickiest aspects of continuity is keeping characters in character. Captain America is not likely to start
cursing like a sailor and you can pretty much expect that has never and will
never happen. But in a much less obvious
way many a comic character has made an abrupt about-face from what we know and
love. And very often it is the more
shocking because there is no forewarning.
It just happens!
Andrew and Cole will discuss the changes that came from so
far out of nowhere as to be inexplicable by any stretch of the imagination. From minor characterization flaws to massive
changes in one issue of a book that had no precedent in the prior issue. What happens when editors are either asleep
at the wheel or, worse yet, are taking it by force from the creators who are
driving a given comic storyline? Find
out for yourself as “Continuity is Not Absolute” continues!
