Am I supposed to be okay with this? Am I supposed to think "wow that's clever"? I know he's a spanish speaking character but being a guy that buys a book for the story, art and the fact that I like the characters, I could care less that they pull this kind of stunt. I could care less that he's spanish or whatever for that matter. What I do care about is buying a comic and not being able to read it. That's NOT cool. When creators put a comic together the point is to not do anything that will cause the reader to bounce out of the experience and realize their reading a comic. In this case, I'm supposed to flip back and forth just to see what the heck is being said. GRRRRRRR! You know, if they'd just done this for a few pages, cool. I'd be down with that. Doing it for 90% of the book, that's just insulting to the all non-spanish speaking customers that live in a english speaking country.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all of my DC titles now. I know it's one instance to point at but I'm really pissed at them. It's insulting. That's like making a Russian speaking tv show and putting on American tv and thinking everyone will watch and enjoy. The problem with doing this in a comic is, I'm a collector so they know I'm gonig to buy it and not be able to enjoy it. They know they're breaking a cardinal rule in comics.

I keep thinking this was just a stupid idea trying to get some kinda media coverage but do you risk loosing readers for that? I guess you do. Oh well....
