And to further add to my previous point, this isn't fine art you've got up in a gallery. It's a product, and therefor should be held to criticisms from those you are selling that product to. Whether or not sales decline shouldn't be the barometer for change (necessarily). People stay loyal, and yet you dump on them for criticizing the product? How dare they! You might not receive as much nonsensical communications if you weren't so flippant about the fan base.

Any fan is free to offer whatever criticism he or she wants to. That’s entirely  right.

But we are free to act on or to ignore any of that criticism that we feel like. That is our right.

And especially when a particular title is selling well, the argument from people who don’t like it that “nobody likes it” is clearly nonsense. Somebody is buying all of those comics. And I am confident that our readers are not so stupid nor so shallow to purchase issue after issue like lemmings if they don’t like the book.

I will certainly dump on people who come here and feel entitled to be belligerent, or who feel entitled such that their opinion speaks for all of comicdom, when clearly it does not.

I answer the questions I get in the manner in which I get them, for the most part.

And it;s my Tumblr, so I’ll be as flippant as I like. And you can read it or not read it, your choice.
