I can get into comics that are specifically geared towards an adult audience, but the last several years worth of spin-the-bottle, event-driven, weekly-oriented, "Marketing-Is-God", comics pros as "rock stars", politically correct pablum, Hollywood trump-card dreck, has adequately demonstrated to me that earlier decades publishers attitude of targeting the bulk of their comics product for a "general" audience, was a much better path to follow.

Ultimately the eclipse two-parter appears to be just another spin-the-bottle effort from the floundering writing staff, not that this episode was a complete loss, mind you – there were some very effective moments from several cast members – but a loss only in the respect that nothing much changed and the viewers were left wondering what the whole point of this celestial event was.
