It reminds me of Marvel blaming Spider-Man's low sales on MJ and their marriage and then trying to jettison Mary Jane and erase their marriage from continuity.<br /><br />2011 was a great year full of great moments, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-18337575792054213802011-12-24T19:40:18.384-05:002011-12-24T19:40:18.384-05:00Ah Marv Wolfman, he has the courage of his restric...Ah Marv Wolfman, he has the courage of his restrictions I'll give him that.<br />Is he the one who called Kara one of the "barnacles" on Superman's hull?<br />No matter he is the prime exponent of the premise that Superman's decline is somehow SuperGIRL"s fault and can only be atoned by "blood sacrifice" AKA COIE #7. Everyone likes to talk about how cool Supergirl's death was, how it gave her character meaning and redeemed her from mediocrity blah blah blah. Operationally speaking though, the light from her funeral pyre was supposed to provide a more powerful spotlight for Superman nothing more.<br />THAT is why she was forced out of continuity, she'd served her like a disposable styrofoam cup.<br />As far as I"m concerned, if that is what it takes to keep Superman selling then maybe it's time to board up shop and decamp for the caves.<br />***<br />Y'know, an all female super team, run by Steph and Kara would have been a great notional book IMHO. It would have given Supergirl a natural leadership role (Something most of the year seemed to build towards in the olde DCU) and given Batgirl a team affiliation (something the character never seems to have in any incarnation)...th'road not taken.<br /><br /><br />JFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-52347979510062445012011-12-21T12:53:06.729-05:002011-12-21T12:53:06.729-05:00"This scene was the favorite of blog friend G..."This scene was the favorite of blog friend Gene."<br /><br />THANKS ANJ!Genenoreply@blogger.com
