Would comics be better to follow if the authors just created

>Would comics be better to follow if the authors just created their own separate universes where they follow their own continuity?
Protip: any author worth reading at all has been doing that since the sixties.

And that's only just ONE of the perks of upgrading from a filthy plebeous characterfag to a godly sex-kinging creatorfag!

Have you ever considered reading creator-owned comics?

Great. Maybe the studios will churn out movies with the same characters but set in different continuities.
Then the fanboys can move from Marvel vs. DC to which author did the character better while the studios rake it in. More movies, more money.
Thanks for the idea, Satan.

I do, but I feel like it should be more widespread than it is now.

I don't understand how people can become attached to characters when knowing that they will be changed into something different within time. Even if there are strict guidelines in writing a character, it doesn't exactly remove all the problems that may appear when someone new takes over. Hell, even the current writer for something good may fumble.
This can happen with any series for both comics and cartoons, but people are still too damn dense to accept it.

Apparently that's "character development".
It's the go to excuse every time a writer gets called out on making his character into a trainwreck.

Whoah now. All it takes is one good run to become attached to a character. And a lot of times it's the foundation or recognizable traits of a character that people really like.

Now this I can agree on. When a character I'm attached to is being mishandled, I just move onto something else. I'll come back if I hear about things picking up but there's no sense wasting time crying about it. It's almost always bound to happen with company-owned characters, or any long-running character in general.

It can work the opposite way, a bad writer/artist gets replaced for a better one that then goes on to make a better run than his/her predecessor.

A lot of a character's best runs weren't by their original creators.

There's no way around it. You either accept Marvel/DC characters/franchises for what they are or move on comics worth your time. I'm pretty sure that most writers accept the former to a certain extent, which is why you get the inconsistency in the first place.

I've never really gotten the anti-continuity/sandbox mindset, because for all the inconsistencies, giving writers blank checks to do whatever isn't even a band-aid.

Without shared continuity comics would lost their distinctiveness.
What's the difference between standalone comics and heavy illustrated books?
