It might be early in the game, but I have a strong feeling that I may not read comics after Infinite Crisis and One Year Later/52.

Because alot of changes are being (first with the return of Earth-2, now someone non-Tim Drake as Robin) that I don't like and probably will not like.

I can only say: if my fears come to light in reality, I'm done.

It is too bad to hear that you are going to let a couple of changes that are going to be back to normal in less than a year make you totally drop comics. I think that there are some really cool things starting up like Checkmate by Greg Rucka and Gail Simone doing a Secret Six series. Just when I was really financially needing to thin out my comics, they are putting out some really cool stuff.

Don't be so pessimistic about change. Sure they may chage Robin's identity, but more importantly they are changing the writer for the series, which has possibly been the worst comics I have ever read ever since Chuck Dixon left (yes, Willingham sucks, there I said it). Nobody was happy about Batman's breaking or the Earthquake, but we got some really cool stories out of those changes, and things went back to the way they were. Give this stuff a chance, you don't know where it is going. Don't tell yourself you're not going to like it before you read it, because then you will definitely not like it.

Tim Drake is still going to be Robin, apparently. Check out the cover preview here.

Anyway, DK is right. Sometimes, we get some of the best stories from change. If everyone was so resistent to change, Dick Grayson would still be Robin. No Tim Drake, period. Even if the worst comes to pass, it'll only be a matter of time before things are back to normal. Didio has said so himself that, if Bruce Wayne is not Batman once OYL hits, the question everyone is asking won't be "So what is Bruce going to do with the rest of his life," but "When is Bruce coming back as the Batman?" (I'm paraprasing there, but you get the idea.)

One year later is making my head hurt. I'm so confused.

But most of the stuff I'm ok with, change is cool with me. The changes to my dear Kara though.....those scare me.

I can live with Tim Drake not being Robin, but Bruce not being Batman! But I`m cool with that if everything returns to normal eventually.
