The fact that Johns and Snyder had that long on JL and Batman respectively speaks to just how big of a draw they are as writers to keep the sales consistently high.
For everyone else, you're lucky if you get a full year now.

This applies to indies too, it's a damn shame. No incentive to go past 10-20 unless you're lucky enough to become a big name. Sales just diminish too much over time.

That doesn't really happen anymore. Look at Valentine's Catwoman, King's Grayson, and many other writers who "saved" characters only to be on the book for like a year.
Also I doubt becoming a Big 2-quality writer is something that's nigh-unobtainable, I imagine it's the networking and getting your foot in the door that's the biggest hurdle.

You know, when you put it that way, it really was a towering achievement, what he did.
Nothing like the Donald Duck artists, but still, pretty amazing.

Hey if it's dying I'd just skip what came before, obviously the readers did.
